RyM3rC Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 2.8 then. Don't even get me started on how much stuff an A4 will need once it gets in that 80k -100k mile range. Even if you do all the work yourself it's still going to cost more than just buying another mustang. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wnaplay1647545503 Posted August 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 Its well over that mileage I believe. The PO was a mechanic at MAG and overhauled everything internally but having never owned a foreign car like this, I can only assume that if/when something breaks, it wont be cheap.

wnaplay1647545503 Posted August 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 Pm me info on that a4 Jason... Wife needs car I am still contemplating it, but I will if I decide not to buy it I'll send it to you. 1/2 of me wants to buy it and flip it, but its the boss of another cr member and I dont want to screw the guy. I will know by tonight. He will have to work to pay insurance and gas. Its been a rough past few years with my injury and all, my eldest has had to bear witness to the struggles of everything. I want to do something for his 16th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wnaplay1647545503 Posted August 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 Mustang just sold, and not to me. We were within $100 of coming to an agreement and I hesitated. When I finally called the guy to tell him I was coming the new owner was driving it away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wnaplay1647545503 Posted August 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 On the Audi, the guy is keeping the spare rims and dropping the price down to an amount I cant pass. Going to buy it right now. Looks like my son will be getting my suv. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawnman Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 Just bought my son a 01 gt , auto . Wife tried to get him to get a 6cyl and I tried to get him to get a 5 spd . He found one he liked , and cheaper than we budgeted. Keep looking , they are out there. We had to go to the toledo area to find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Karacho1647545492 Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 manual transmission is all but a text-while-driving prevention measure. within 5 minutes of the first time a new driver tries to do it, they'll realize they're better off alive and put the phone away. or they'll keep doing it and die 10 minutes later, whatever.

You get the hang of it...i have no problems slamming a chipotle burrito while driving stick let alone texting...and when i broke my wrist a few weeks ago and only had 1 functioning arm, drove stick while on the phone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wnaplay1647545503 Posted August 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 Picked up the audi at what I feel was a carzy low price. New windshield in the morning and do the best cleaning job I can. I know when I show it to him on saturday he wont like it but if he gets a job I will help him get something in a few months. These things sit awful high, how hard is it to put some new springs on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These things sit awful high, how hard is it to put some new springs on it? what year and what kind of A4 (2.8 V6? 3.0 V6? 1.8T? 2.0T?) I m thinking it s a B5 A4....it s not hard to do..there's the possibility you'll need XYZ bits (aka Triple Square) . I have a set if you wanna borrow but I think NAPA may have them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wnaplay1647545503 Posted August 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 2.8 v6 1998 a4 I will try to get pics up as soon as I get it out of hiding for the night. Is it just a matter of buying/replacing springs or are there other parts, work that needs done? Can you buy them locally?(springs) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
