I tried searching for some threads about did, but found none. To make the story short, I found a 2000 A4 2.8Q, auto with 118,000 for $6,500 - negotiable ? Now I think this is a steal. Guy owned the car for 4 years and says nothing is wrong with the car inside and outside with paperwork for all services ( changed timing, LCA, Brakes) . I am going to see the car toomorow. What should I look for, i know a lot bout hondas but I am newbie to audi world. Appriciate the help.......

 

make sure the Timing belt has been done

 

What about tranny? Are the triptronics on 2.8 problematic?

 

They don't care for much hp over stock.

 

The car will stay stock, I am asking for any signs I should look for which would mean trouble for the car. If I rember right tranny should be warm when driving etc..... anything I would need to know?

 

damn, everyones jumping off the honda wagon for an audi

 

look for signs of sludge in the oil system.

 

2.8s really havent had probs with that just 1.8ts but still a good thing to look for

 

Nah....... Still keeping my "rocket"; just need a daily car


Anyone else? I know of the sludge thingy ( my wifey has 2000 1.8 )

 

nah the 2.8's are really reliable. just check to make sure he's been changing oil regularly with synthetic oil. u should trade your wifey audi for your new one. the turbo's are so much funner to drive
