Conversion from auto to manual is extremely easy and takes little mechanical skill, as long as you follow the instructions below...

1. Sell car with auto

2. Buy car with manual.

 

Good method David, tried and true.

 

ya true but wut if u find a lemon or stuff and u cant find it or its crappier than your old car

 

Whenever you buy a used car, it is a crap shoot. You just have to minimize your risk .

Personally, as a buyer of a used Audi A4, I'm happy that it depreciated like a rock in the 4 years and 70K miles that the previous owner drove it. I researched the car, knew what I was getting into (fun, but it ain't Honda reliability), got a good deal and was psychologically ready to spend up to 2K for repairs/maintenance (so far 1200 including chip and timing belt etc).

As a middle aged guy with a good salary, but a big mortgage, 2 kids in private school and an ex-wife to support there is just no way I could afford a new Audi.

 

same here i got my car used also, i have a decent job wit school i cant afford new

 

Yah Brrman I saw the A8 page but Im not shure how much of the info is relevent to the a4... especialty with the wiring and the TCM...
