Story- I purchased this a few weeks ago with the intention of driving it and dumping my B5 Avant. I came to the realization I am 100% a B5 guy, even though this one really grew on me. But having two ebony pearl effect B5's, one sedan one avant, is basically a dream come true for me. So, the B6 is now for sale.
First and foremost, the title is not in my possession and will not be until it is processed. I anticipate its arrival within a week or two. Title status is clean. Listing prematurely because I am hoping for a sale as soon as possible. Help pay for my bar application!
Basics-
2002 Audi A4
146,XXX Miles
1.8T Engine
5 Speed 01A transmission
I am second owner. Original owner kept all service records, which I have
Exterior-
Crystal Blue Metallic Paint
In general, fairly decent shape. Not many dings or scratches. With that said, there are a couple rusty spots (more on this later). The front bottom corner on the front passenger door was rotted out and had filler put in. The front passenger fender is also rotted near it. Both spots were filled and painted. 10 being brand new, I would give it a 6 from 15ft away, a 3 up close. Hey, at least it was filled and painted over!
The driver's door has a bubble about two inches long but is not very noticeable.
Headlights were halogen and converted to HID. Right when I got the car, flipping the lights on would trigger the ABS, BRAKE, and traction lights. Turns out, having the ballast close to the ABS pump is a bad idea. I relocated the ballast and it no longer triggers the lights.
Wheels/Tires-
B6 S4 18" Avus wheels in very decent shape. Only one wheel has rash about an inch or two long. They all sparkle nicely.
Tires are Michelin PSS 3, 235/40/18 about half tread.
A 5th wheel is included. The tire was driven on flat and doesn't hold air. The wheel is fairly rashed up. But hey, its a spare.
Interior-
Overall pretty decent. Worst part about it is some of the soft touch stuff is coming off here and there, nothing out of the ordinary. I got the carpets pretty clean.
Black all weather mats are included and I have an aching suspicion there are actually B5 mats, although they do fit fine.
Expect general wear.
Not much for options, but it does have front AND rear heated seats. Driver's seat works well.
No sunroof! (RARE!!!)
Maintenance I did-
I purchased the car with a coolant leak at the turbo return line. So, I changed that and preemptively changed the coolant flange with a genuine Audi part. While I was doing this, I noticed cracks in the Tbelt even though it only had 40k on it. I would not sell a vehicle with a cracked Tbelt, so I changed that last week. This included the belt itself (continental), tensioner and roller(NTN), thermostat (Mahle), and waterpump (metal impellar Graf).
Brand new battery on 3/6/16 with 5 year warranty.
Price-
$4000, but willing to accept other offers. Trades could be considered, but if it doesn't have four rings on the grille, a third pedal, and 4 cv shafts, don't bother.
Overall, it really sucks this car has the rust it does. I have located the proper colored door in Winona, and I would paint a fender. However, my asking price would be increased. This car isn't perfect, and you shouldn't expect a 14 year old car to be perfect, but it looks pretty good. I really do like this car a lot, and it is a shame I cannot keep it around but I need to pay for more important things.
Vehicle is located in Sauk Rapids at my house. However, I am in Roseville for work during the weekdays, except for Wednesday when I am in St. Paul for school. Although I normally drive my B5, I could drive this down in case anyone is interested in a showing near Roseville or St. Paul.
