Autospeed GT2860R (Garrett pn 707160-5) Yellow '00 widebody S4.

[davenew]

I flew to Long Island and bought the car 11/2008 and drove it back to VA, with around 38k miles on the car. The RS4 bodywork was already done and it had a AWE stage 3 turbo kit. I pulled the perfectly good running engine 5/2009, sold the AWE kit and installed Autospeed GT kit, along with other required mods such as forged rods, etc. I also had the original heads worked by Autospeed to support 8k rpm limit.

After finally getting everything installed, I trailered it to Connecticut 10/2011 and had EPL dyno tune three different ECUs. 575whp 93+meth, 600whp E85, 650whp E85+meth (2.36 sec FATS) It’s been 5 long years since dyne tuning and sitting quite a bit so I can’t guarantee the exact same hp numbers. As of today, the car has 44,650 miles on it. I went to the dragstrip one time but got rained out. I have never dropped the clutch due to the wide tires, all metal clutch master clutch and concern about breaking something. I’d like to sell it to someone who understands this type of car and is able to work on it. For example, if you do something as simple as removing an intake hose and don’t clean it and re-torque the hose clamps properly the hose can blow off at high boost and overspin/blow a turbo. My other concern is the 100% meth injection system is highly flammable. If you take a line apart you need to be very careful it’s put back together properly. Anyway, the car is a blast to drive but being an engineer I enjoyed the build more than having it sit around and only being able to drive it on occasion. My other issue is we bought a house recently without a large enough garage to store it in and my wife likes to park her car in it. Most banks won’t loan more than stock value on cars so please don’t bid too high only to be told you can’t get a loan for that amount. I’m really not sure of current market value which is why I’m listing it on Ebay today. Of course, all offers will be considered and cash in hand is good! I have a clear title from Michigan. We moved up there for 1.5 years and returned to Virginia Beach recently.

ASP catalytic converters installed to be emissions compliant

Guy I bought the car from in Long Island painted the exterior one shade lighter yellow than the factor Imola. The door jambs are OEM Imola which doesn’t match the exterior.
The windshield washer tank doesn’t work. I bought a new pump but connections didn’t match and I never bothered with it again.

Passenger side seat is missing one of the adjustment buttons.

Bidding is at $16k this morning, reserve was met. It appears eBay bidding will set the market value! I didn't want to be one of those guys that sets a sales price based on the total of receipts but also didn't want to give it away. I will say the Autospeed turbo kit was around $11k, EPL fueling $2500, oem steering wheel $700, oem cf trim maybe $800. ER intercoolers over $1k new. The front brembo brake setup was over $4k. I believe I paid Autospeed around $2500 for the head work, I don't even remember what I paid the shop in Virginia beach to bore/hone the block, balance the rotating assembly with JE pistons and forged rods, and assemble the short block, etc. While the engine was out I (preventative) installed a new oem radiator, new after run pump, all new oem coils and boots, 2 new oem cam adjusters (not cheap!), new oil/coolant heat exchanger that the oil filter attaches to.

I've heard the Mac system talk when I first connect the battery but can't tell if it works due to bad pixels. Car has oem CD changer in the trunk that works.

One of the bidders on eBay said he ran carfax and it shows an accident in 2002. I swear I had no knowledge of that before last night. Believe me, I inspected the frame rails while the engine was out and couldn't find anything of concern. The trunk area has weld seams where the rs4 fenders were welded but no damage to the metal in the spare tire area. The one thing I have noticed is the trunk lid never opened as easily as my first s4. You have to lift it up. I figured they didn't align it properly during the rs4 body work but based on the new info maybe the car was hit in the rear and the hinges were bent. There's no sign of damage on the trunk lid or anywhere else. I've been over every inch of this car and not concerned but I'm not going to sell a car and withhold any info that I have!

[Yuppie]

Good luck Dave. Great and honest seller. Really want this but just real bad timing for me. Proper built cars like this just don't come up to often and on time an Rs4 widebody. I hope you fetch high dollar for this because it is well worth it.

[christianb5s4]

Beautiful Imola, this should have no trouble finding a new home. Fingers crossed it goes to an enthusiast.

If this sells, you might be setting the high watermark for recent B5 sales. Great looking car. GLWS.

[juntsky]

Yakuza wants to buy this so he can turn around and claim he invested $100k and sell it for 60k lol

[davenew]

Yakugo, you're in California ? Aren't they tough on modded cars and aftermarket engine parts? This car passed state inspection in Virginia every year but we don't have testing of exhaust gas, only physical inspection. They do test exhaust gas in northern VA but not where I live. At this point it might be better to let the auction end because I really have no clue of true market value. If it was stock it would be easy.. Look it up in KBB and list it for that amount. ;)

[davenew]

Thanks! I can't believe I'm selling this car. There was a time when I thought I'd end up driving this car to an assisted living facility when I'm 90. Haha

Thank you. It's a shame Audi hasn't built such a tuners car S4 since the B5. Until they do I think these cars will maintain their value. I read the 2017 s4 wont even come with a manual tranny. That's sad

[davenew]

A few hours left on the auction! FYI. I located the RS4 fog lights and will provide with the car.

[davenew]

FYI. eBay auction just ended. Sold at $20,400

[zatch_303]

thats too low. should have been higher for such a fine example.

Thank you sir!

Insane how facking cheap these things sell for. Building a widebody car might go down in history as the least intelligent investment of all time. I got fucked in the butt sideways on my sale too :)

Side note where did your car end up? If the new owner wants to sell it in the next year I am very interested, it was/is my favorite widebody!

[davenew]

The last thing in my mind when I bought and built the car was resale value. If I was in as an investment I would've bought a '70 Chevelle 454 like my father has. In the end I'm happy with what the bidding ended at. It's fair enough for me. It's probably more than the '08 135i would be worth today, if I still had it, and I paid around $48k for that new.

Thanks! It definitely isn't 100% complete but I wasn't as motivated on cosmetics. It ended at $20,400. http://m.ebay.com/itm/302016830011?_mwBanner=1

[juntsky]

think he was asking Ben where his avant ended up at. I'm curious where yours ended up going to though. Just seeing you're in VA. If it's still on the east coast I'd hope to see it.
