cinergi Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 Any way to tell if this is a b5? http://s243.photobucket.com/albums/ff123/goalie990/Audi%20S4/ http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff123/goalie990/Audi%20S4/audis43.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cinergi Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 DOM 6/2000 I will post up the mods shortly. I am between that and a low mileage wrx/sti hybrid with PPG helicut tranny. The outstanding negative on this b5 is the fact the shell has 168k miles on it, but the motor has less than 50k. I will make a thread later.

RyM3rC Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 I would not hesitate for one second to buy a B5 or any Audi because of mileage, UNLESS it's a 2.7t with original K03s. That one looks like it has seen some action though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
