Smile Parting with my A4.........for an S4

Quickly came and quickly went. Bought my A4 in July for $4300, 121.5k, pristine interior all service records etc, but i put it out for sale and have sold it.

I had plans for it but decided i would blow more money doing up this one then just getting an S4. It was tiptronic when i bought it, so a trans swap will run me an easy 1.2k, and then getting a bigger turbo, fmic etc. It would all total me more and i could easily have a stage 1 or stage 2 s4 in that price range.


But, if anyone knows any S4s for sale other then the ones i have found, cars.com, autotrader, some craigslist etc. I would appreciate it. It has to be 6spd, the interior needs to be pretty clean and the exterior also. Nothing over 130k.

I may also consider an allroad but it needs to be a 6spd (kind of rare) and have the air suspension. 2.7TT engine also

Looking to spend a max of $8500 - im in Allentown PA, so no farther up than CT, no lower than Maryland/Delaware.

I ended up selling this one for $5650 which i think i made out good on, i did some maintenance to it, rear wheel bearing, front cvboots, new battery, spark plugs, fuel filter,K&n drop in air filter, coolant change, etc. Also has a stage 1 apr chip, 710 DV, clear corners, 3000k hids, 300w RMS Clarion Amp, and 10" Ported Kicker Sub.

I also will now also have up for sale the 2 things below as i purchased them intending to do the A8 brake upgrade but didnt not.

These are all brand new still in box:

2- 12.3 312MM A8 Schwaben Cross Drilled/Slotted Rotors

2- TT Caliper Carriers - Only thing done is I painted them red because i was going to do the calipers red on my a4.

Was gonna say that you need to figure on a lot of money to fix broken parts on an S4. That engine is a serious money *****.

What ImTheDevil said. I understand you think with the same money you can easily reach stage 2 with an S4 - which is true but there are more parts that break on the S4 compared to the A4. You'll need some money to fix broken things here and there, hence why not everyone with the S4 are running stage 2+.
