Default 98.5 A4 Avant FS $2500 *UPDATED!*

Selling my 98.5 (mid model year, has updates from 99 model year) Audi A4 Avant *wagon*. 5spd automatic with Tiptronic shifting. Has 178k on it but runs like a top. Located in Buffalo NY

Outside:
Santorin Blue Metallic paint, overall good condition. could really benefit from a detailing.
Updated one-piece oem S4 projector headlights with 8000k xenons, new oem corner bulbs.
Original taillights plus comes with set of "altezza" style lights *from previous owner, not particularly my style*
Passenger front bumper corner sits slightly lower due to bumping someone this past winder, just needs to be realigned.
First year of the avant in the US so it has European rear hatch with Euro plate outline

Inside:
Previously tan interior swapped fully out for all black leather interior from 2001, immaculate condition!
Driver and passenger front seat airbags plus heated, drivers seat full power.
Factory radio updated to 2001 Bose unit, with factory speakers, amplifier and subwoofer, sounds amazing.
Factory cd changer as well as car phone *removed*

Mechanical:
Higher mileage but runs great, slight miss due to needing plugs and wires. Just bought new wires, misfire is gone. Runs great!
Short ram intake with brand new filter.
Brand new driver and passenger side valve cover gaskets
Brand new driver and passenger cam tensioner seals *common oil leak on these cars*
Recent water pump/timing belt.
Brand new crankcase breather hoses. *known to dry and crack*
Brand new vacuum pump
99% of vacuum hoses were replaced with new ones while I was in there changing gaskets.
Always up to date with oil changes using only german "MANN" brand filters and Mobil 1 0w40 fully synthetic.
Engine recently pressure cleaned.
Tires have at least 50% tread, all matching Goodyear Eagle Ls.
Lowered on Neuspeed springs, rides great.
New purge control solenoid

The bad:
Airbag light is on, look it up online it's a common Audi thing and doesn't affect airbag functionality. Just needs to have Audi/VW dealer clear it.
Slight squeak from brakes when coming to full stop sometimes but shop just did the inspection a week ago and I still have over 70% pad life. Brakes fine however and no shimmy either.
Rear wiper is tempermental and works when it likes to. *bad motor*
Few interior bits need fitting.

Book value is over $3800 for this year and mileage in "good" condition, I've dropped it for a quick sale! A very fun and reliable car that goes great in the winter, just passed inspection this past week with flying colors. Has original paperwork, manuals and original bill of sale for nearly $40k back in 1998, this car had every available option for the year.

Selling because I want a 5 or 6 speed 2001+ Audi A4 or A6, if you have either or a 2002+ A6 automatic let me know. Thanks!

Contact me anytime, texts at first preferred. 716-335-2067

p.s. In the pics the engine doesn't have it's cosmetic covers on, I do have
them just haven't put them back on yet since doing the engine work.
