Hi Guys,
I am looking to start a new project soon based upon a 2000-2001 RS4. Are there any tips or do's & don'ts when looking at RS4's please.

Also, tuning parts seem pretty thin on the ground or stupidly expensive, any goosd sources??

TIA

TAZ:

I am in the same boat as you. I think that as RS4 would make a great daily driver. I am tired of SUVs and the prospect of a wagon that will out handle a 911 works for me.

The used LHD cars in the UK are generally priced from $40K-$50K USD, and the more I look into the ins and outs of importing to the US, it looks like a good deal.

I have heard the 'We don't have money' cry from this group before and its really a shame that most of these guys don't have the vision to make their dreams happen. Best of luck in your search and keep in touch.

Are you kidding? That kind of money might not be a problem to someone who has a FEW MILLION DOLLARS WORTH of exotic cars in their signature. I have the vision of one day having enough money to have the kind of car collection you purport to have. For most of us mortals, having that kind of money isn't a matter of keeping away from our piggy banks.
