the radio appears to be from the '96-98 model. The pictures are very poor, so it is hard to see what kind of shape the car is in.I would ask the seller exactly what engine service was made.

that radio being different dosent mean anything.. i;ve noticed the factory most likely threw on whatever face lift or non facelift part they had laying around at the time of the half model build

my 99.5 has the single din radio as well, and i have also heard of some 99.5's comming with stubby mirror, older style badge placement, 98.5 tails, etc etc

The radio is the Symphony radio from 98-99. The Delta radio was used in 96-97.

Do you think I could fit staggered rims on this and would it still work with the quattro? 18x8 front 18x9 back

Yea it does sit a little high for a sport suspension, but maybe its just cause it has those 17s on there. I say its a good buy. The mileage isn't bad and you get a few extras. Those wheels could work, but the rear will probably rub a bit, unless you get spacers.

That is interesting that Audi would use the parts they had laying around. I had never heard of them doing that.
