Should I continue to think about it, or just get something else? What's good and bad about B7's?
Lol The title is Thinking of purchasing not or.

Good - it looks badass
Bad - cam follower, carbon build-up, etc

if you want a FWD might as well buy a VW passat. Same car, same motor

I have FWD. It's fun with 6MT, sport suspension and RS4 sway bar. But still wish I had quattro. Seems like a good price, but you may wish you'd held out for AWD. I do.

if you get it, get a quattro as thats pretty much the only reason to get this car over a volkswagen as someone already mentioned
the car you found i would pass on bc its a cvt transmission which are expensive to fix (and they break at a low mileage) and its fwd.....idk my thoughts are i love my car but if i was you i would wait until something with awd came across the market

It's next to impossible to get aftermarket parts that will fit.

I have had the pleasure of owning a couple VDubs and a few Audis, I love quattro but if this 08 didn't come up I was actually looking for a 09 GLi. It's lighter, quicker and similarly equipped.
And you get HID and three spoke steering wheel standard.

Well if you really want to push the envelope it's harder in a cvt.

You can get hids and three spoke wheels on the audis too :P
I have a three spoke and I'm non-sline. I've seen S-lines with 4 spoke and non-slines with bi-xenons. Weird how Audi changes their packages all the time.
Well if you really want to push the envelope it's harder in a cvt.
Tiptronics are not that much better lol

Key word in your statement is "can"
Everything I stated is stock on a GLi.
However no Quattro.

Well can i meant as in i believe certain years had them, but then I don't know for a fact nor do i have concrete details supporting this fact so lets leave it at that :)
GTI's are fun =D

GTi's are a great option as well.

That car is manual, therefore not CVT.

the opinion here is going to be biased just so you understand, but it's like an audi, amazing car and great handling, if you get quattro.
as far as the car you posted, i honestly wouldn't buy any car that was on our forums. not trying to hate on whose car that is, but imo, you want to buy it used off some middle aged guy or senior citizen, not a fellow enthusiast, we dont exactly go easy on our cars.
