My local dealership has a 2004 Audi A4 1.8t for sale, and I'm seriously looking into buying it. It has a six speed manual transmission, is in great condition and has 52,000 miles on it. Does anyone have any experience with these cars as far as reliability and satisfaction go? Also, the big question, Should I get it?

 

how much?? Is it Certified pre owned?

 

Sorry, forgot to mention the price, they're asking $19,575. And it isn't certified pre owned. It is at a very reputable Jeep dealership who recieved it on a trade-in. I test drove it and love the car, I just want to be sure it's a good investment.

 

Thats a good price if it has a six speed. They can handle a little bit more power than a 5 speed as well.

Sounds like a good deal! But the timing belt might bust your *****! Unless you can DIY! i bought my B7 from a lexus dealership and its been great but then again its under warranty!

 

It is a 2004.5, and I don't think it has been modified. I have no experience with Audi's but I am pretty good with cars, so I don't know if I can do it myself. Do you have and idea how much a timing belt would be and about how much annual upkeep would be?

It sounds like a pretty good deal to me. As long as you do the routine maintenance it will hold up for a long time and will be reliable. I personally love my A4 and have been nothing but satisfied with it. If you get it, you will love it.

 

where are you from? I was doing some car shopping this past month or so and in my neck of the woods, which happens to be expensive for Audis, I was finding many 04's with 20-30k miles for that price.
