Correction, the Avant I am going to see is an '00

The A4 in the first post seems to have some service history

 

You got a link to the 00' avant?

I called and he said it's a 2.8l V6... 5speed... the ad is wrong.

96k on the clock,

 

The price seems pretty reasonable.
The question is, do you mind driving an avant and a 2.8?
Anyway, the link you posted shows the engine is the 1.8T engine.
Is that the car you're planning to buy or a different one?
I can't really tell since the pictures are so small, but in general, the car looks pretty nice.
No leather seats though right?

 

Looks nice... Go check it out

 

I don't know if it has leather.

I don't mind an Avant 2.8L. I'm not looking for performance. Just a solid highway cruiser... which is what made the A6 I had so awesome.

The only mods that I have in store are all suspension related.

 

looks like as same as mine. i got mine for $4900 too. then timing belt jon and fixed rear bearings...

I have 151k right now and running like a babe.

make sure there is no major problems tho, then it will pita for you to deal with it.

 

Yeah, umm, the one for $4900 hit something.. that's what the guy told me *sigh*

I'll be going and looking at an avant later today. I'll probably buy it if everything checks out.

 

Okay, "seat comfort" is a recurrent complaint... is it really that bad?

 

It was probably the seat heaters, mine had the same thing but when I asked the sevice dept. what the deal was they told me the guy complained of the seat heaters burning his ***..... too hot? Who complains about seat heaters working too well?
