What's the mileage? Seems like a pretty good deal on paper.

[mccorkled]

What's this mileage?

[S-Line4]

92K. KBB shows 7K without those upgrades so I was thinking hmmm, must be a good deal. Right or wrong?

Usually people don't give a shit about upgrades. That is why everyone goes back to stock before selling their car.

I always tune my cars though. Last one was my Chevy TBSS is pcmforless tuned # 3 with CAI. For 92K, is this a great deal you think?

[mccorkled]

I would probably buy it. 3 years ago I paid $10,000 for my 2005.5 with the same mileage.

Get the service records or vin and call the dealership to see if the timing belt was done.

Calling the dealer is a good point. Thanks a bunch!

Check the cam follower for hole/excessive wear, intake cam, HPFP

Pics?

[JDillon15]

This is exactly the car I'm looking for... Not going to CA for it... but damn.

Cam follower would be my only concern. ^_^

[rongeur]

I would say it is a good deal at the firm price. If you low balled me with 7k I would tell you to f*ck off. The owner of the car sounds like he is a car guy and likely has maintained the crap out of that car. As long at the maintenance records are intact and well serviced, you should be set. Check the cam follower to make sure the cam lobe looks good and know that you will have to check that ongoing in the future as well.

Another way of looking at it is, do you care about the mods that are done and would do them anyway if you purchased a stock A4 with no mods, how much would you spend getting that done?

[DannyDeez]

Aren't you located near JHM? Take the car to them and do a ppi. Seems like a good deal

[vtwinjunkie]

I think its a pretty good deal. besides what others have said.....Gonna need a timing belt soon just keep that in mind

Def post pics!

[leftovers]

Titanium package, Manual, 92k miles, big brake kit, exhaust, tune....that's a no brainer at that price.

[TMurt]

Thats very fair at that price. A manual S line with xenon lights is a great find, I'd take advantage of it

[S-Line4]

1. cam follower was replaced at 48k - what is the interval?
2. Flywheel ,upgraded clutch and enginee speed sensor replaced at 65K
3. Timing Belt was not done.

[Ninja]

cam follower fails at random time frame. driving habit can also worsen the wear on the follower itself.

Check the vin and see if the car falls under the extended warranty for the cam follower. If not, you should inspect the cam follower, HPFP, and the internals before purchasing.
