Update 12/26: Price added, no trades
Located in Northern Virginia.
This was a dream car for me, and I’ve really enjoyed owning it. I planned on keeping the car forever, and as a result, I’ve put a lot of money and time into saving it. I’ve only driven it 2,000 miles due to travel, work and not wanting to do a one hour commute in it. Most of the time it sits in my garage under a cover, with a battery tender on it.
Please don't waste my time with a million questions and then disappear. If you're interested, come see the car.
Everything from the tire change kit gloves, to the first aid kit are all still there. The car has brand new wiper cowls (last new set in the country), a non-broken battery tray cover, the “Funk” switch, and a ton of rare/NLA parts installed on it that I’ve been hoarding for years.....
Now the car has high mileage (205k), I shouldn’t have to say this, but don’t expect cosmetic or mechanical perfection. While this car is a seldom-seen weekend car for me, it was a daily driver for the 18 years before I bought it. The car has a clean Virginia title, and to my knowledge has never been in any accidents. An attached picture of the valve cover while opened up shows no major scoring, or deposits of any kind.
I have service records going back to when the car was brand new in a MASSIVE binder (at least 150 pages), and I have receipts from oil changes every 4,000 miles for the past 20 years. Everything I have done to the car (including timing) has been meticulously recorded in the attached document.
Original K03 turbos, original trans, original engine. No current leaks, or any rust. The high mileage isn’t a bartering tool, I’ve had S4s with much lower mileage that have been basket cases. It’s all about how you care for them.
The car does have some character and typical B5 issues, but very solid overall. I have a clean Carfax for the vehicle that I can send to any potential buyer.

Modifications:
-B6 S4 Avus wheels with Bridgestone Potenza RE all season tires (Good tread and condition)
-ST coilovers
-Apikol rear diff mount with blue bushing
-034 transmission mounts
-XS Power Twin II exhaust
-APR snub mount
-APR Stage II tune (All options, done by NGP in 2011)
-APR bi-pipe
-Kayser 710N Diverter Valves
-Rs4 clutch (See below)
-JHM boost gauge
-Stainless steel brake lines
-Perforated leather steering wheel
-Genuine carbon fiber interior trim
-Perforated leather B7 A4 S-Line shift knob with new shift boot
-Valeo clear corner headlights
-OEM Rs4 grill
-Aluminum sport package mirrors (I have the painted ones too)
-Enfig auxiliary adapter, PowerBass drop in front speakers (CD changer is disabled from the Enfig adapter)
Issues:
-AC went out in the Summer of 2021, I never fixed it.
-Clutch will need to be replaced at some point (Pressure plate or slave is worn, but functional). A lot of people who've driven the car don't really notice until it's pointed out, but there is a 1/4 inch dead zone at the top of the pedal travel. Occasional 1-2 shift grind when the car is cold, clears up when warms up. Think it may be due to the clutch issue, but may be a syncro. Would recommend changing to a different gear oil, only started when I switched to Febi. I don't drive the car much in the cold, so it hasn't been an issue for me.
-Front bumper has a small gash on the top of it
Finding a clean B5 with full service records isn't easy, especially one with so many new parts. [:)]
PM me, and let's talk!
Asking $9,000
