FEELER: I'm gauging the interest in my 2001.5 B5 A4 Avant that I'm considering selling soon if I can get the full asking price. I've owned the car for the last 2.5 years, and purchased it at 51,500 miles. The car just hit 75,000 miles. Since I've owned the car, it's been absolutely BABIED from the day I got it. As it sits, the car is great shape. For a 7 year old car, the body is in good. There are a few scratches here and there, but nothing at all major. I've got several thousand dollars invested (poorly) into this car in mods and maintenance.

Bad:
-The headliner sags when it gets humid. But I can have it professionally redone if buyer is willing to pay.
-The passenger side lower Strut bushing needs to be replaced (cheap)
-The front passenger side window switch is faulty, but will be fixed before being sold
-Front bumper and hood could be realigned if ur a perfectionist
-The hot side intercooler piping has a dent in it. I bought it used from Blake260, but it's worked just fine...not sure how it happened
-Oil return line off the turbo is a bit too long, but will be replaced with a shorter line and better fittings before being sold

Price is $12,500









SSR Wheels will be sold Separately

 

wtf?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

thought you just got new wheels?

 

Yea I did.....I wanna stop spending money on this thing. Time to upgrade to a bigger car. Hopefully another Avant

 

what a6?

 

I'm thinking of buying the quite RS6-clone A6 4.2 and fixing it up. But that'd only be a temporary car until I find a relatively low-mileage B6 S4 Avant in Nogaro blue

 

Price drop to $12.5k

 

you should trade me ypur rs4 reps for my b5 s4 wheels........ i have 5.....


and like i stated on az...... start parting the car... more money

 

I don't really want to part out at this point because it'll be pretty hard getting the car back to stock after all the things I've changed......installing a Full size turbo (as opposed to an Elim) means a LOT of custom fabrication to stock hardware.....So I'm sorta at the point of no return, unfortunately. This is a highly modified car, and I think it should stay that way

 

no, i mean tear it apart and sell it in pieces.... i mean someone already offered you for the shell

now sell the motor, the after market brakes and suspension for stock

the guys that total out theirs buy them back for cheap and sell for fair market value... and make some $'s


i love the car, would buy in a heart beat......... free bump for an awsome looking car

 

Yea, I'm waiting to hear back from him to find out if that was a legitimate request. If it was, then a complete part out might be a more realistic option.....especially since that guy is only 40 mins down the road from me......I'd love to be able to walk away with $13-$14k if I went that route
