I'm looking at buying a 1999.5 Audi A4. Its got 127k miles what problems should I look for. APR 1.0 bar chip, APR 2.5" turbo-back exhaust, 2.5" test pipe, Hyperboost Diverter valve what kind of power am I looking at with those mods? Also what would you all pay for a car like this in execllent condition.

 

First make sure the oil has been changed every 3000 miles and the timeing belt has been replaced. As far as hp, i don't know what you are looking at. Some where around 9 to 11 thousand on the price I'm guessing.

 

You might be able to get him to talk it down though. I bot my 99 with 122k miles for just under 8. It just depends how much of a hustla you are.

 

He said the timing belt was changed at 60k and 120k. He's asking 9.5k for it.

 

Check to see if the previous owner used synthetic oil. A 1.8t need synthetic, otherwise you'll cook the turbo using regular dino oil.

 

He says he did and that he changed the diff fluid at 80k miles also.

 

make sure the timing belt has been done. it should have been done around 60-70k and again at ~130k. it'll cost you between 700-1000. also pop off the oil cap and look for sludge.

no sludge-

sludge-


if it has sludge get him to knock more off the price or have it fixed.


as for the power its gona be around 200hp/243lb-ft, maybe a little more cause of the testpipe. and price is really dependent on your area. i got my a4 with 90k with a k04, s4 wheels and front bumper for $8250, but he was asking 10,000 to begin with. i wouldn't pay more than 9 grand for that car tho

 

I'm trying to talk him down to 8750.

 

did he do the timing belt for the second time? if not, its not even worth that

 

ya man a 99.5 is almost a 10 year old car, lol with a lot of miles on it like this one you should pay about 8 grand.
