    Looking to buy used B7, HELP!

    Ok, I am looking to buy a used B7 A4 but I want to make sure I am not getting in over my head. I had a B5 A4 a few years ago and I just had to get rid of it because it was nickle and dimeing me to death with all the little stuff that was constantly going wrong. Headlight switch, wheel bearings, control arms, etc. I heard the B7s are much more reliable. I will probably be buying one with anywhere from 30-50,000 miles on it. So shoot me straight, am I getting into something I will regret?

    Well i have an 05.5 and the only thing that has happened to me was the pcv valve went out and the typical TSB for the ecu and the coolant O-ring on the back of the head was replaced under a TSB but other than that its been great. oh and the pass side H-light has the dipped light issue and my car has 96,000 MILES on it.

    Hope that helps!

    How much are you looking to spend?

    I've got a white one with just a hair over 5000 miles on it. Just got the first service done on it 2 months ago. Got a few mods too.

    Your car looks awesome but I dont think I could afford one with only 5000 miles on it. I am trying not to spend more than about $20,000.
