    Re: Selling my a4?

    If you are planning on modding more, that engine has hella potential and I'd say why not get it and mod the dust off it?

    If you aren't going to do engine mods, why not spend a little more and get a b6s4?

    Re: Selling my a4?

    The B5 S4 is really labor intensive. I know that you have to pull the engine to replace the turbos if they go as wells as many other things.

    Spend some time in the B5 S4 forum before you make your decision.

    Re: Selling my a4?

    Well. Is the price right? I am looking at doing more engine mods. Right now im in a dolphin B6 a4 1.8T and its an automatic. I really want a manual. Would it make more sense to wait and get a B6 s4?

    Re: Selling my a4?

    The price seems a little high for the mileage. What maintenance work been done?

    Re: Selling my a4?

    Maintenance sucks even more on the s4 but it's definitely a fun car to drive... I prefer the b5 > b6, twin turbos > v8

    Dont...not reliable, repairs are $$$$$

    It has quite alot of miles as well..

    If you want a manual, wait a while and you'll come across a gem.

    plus one. These things can be ultra-fast, like supercar fast but I wouldn't get one for the simple fact that I'm no good at DIY stuff and owning a b5s4 can get pricey.

    Re: Selling my a4?

    When I bought my car about a year ago, I went through the same predicament.

    B6 A4 or B5S4?

    Obviously I went with the B6 because,being at college, I didnt want to deal with all the crazy repairs I have heard about. (And I do all the work myself on my cars)

    Whats the mileage on your car?

    Re: Selling my a4?

    Whoever was recommending it, B6 S4 = SLOW!

    If you know the B5's history, how it was cared for, maintenance is thorough and up to date, then they can be reliable. If not, I would pass. They CAN BE (not all are) very problematic and a majority of things that go wrong with them (blown turbo's being a big one) the motor has to come out

    Definitely pay to play with that car!

    35k miles more? Get a newer B6 manual if you really want a 5/6 spd. No way are you going to like the B5 interior after having a B6

    haha, B6 S4 is pathetic for a V8. At least you can blame it on having a measly 4 cylinder! And FWIW, run a S4 with your car if you havent already, you might be surprised!

    I snowboard. There is no way I could fit my board in that car and there is no way I am putting a rack on it.

    o yeah! I love snow boarding too.
    so no more TT. I don't recommend a B5 S4 either. not a good daily driver.
    i guess you are still not happy with your b6 now. get another B6 but USP this time, prefer white if you can find one or B6 S4. I know someone will be against me on this one, but oh well
