atta boy haha, i think im going to just get the civic i was offered for 500 dollars, its 4 door auto..I am farmiliar with the works of cars and ive been working on my moms car and my dads truck for a couple of years now, but i understand that audis/vw's are lil tougher to work on? I think if i got a good work manual i could do most of the work myself. I will probably wait till im 18ish to get the audi. Thank you guys for all your help i really appreciate it!

There really not that much harder to work on you just have to semi know what your doing, but if you get a civic for 500 expect to be doing some work lol

Ok dont say I didnt tell you so. How much have you spent on both of your a4s you speak of? I bet you could have had one nice newer less mileag car or a nice modded one with tons of cash left over. But hell I was 17 once in your postition, what the hell is that worth anyways
actually no thats not the case, i pay for my cars everytime i get a new one, (im on my third one) and i also pay for all the parts, maintanence,etc... but what i did was i was patient, had not alot of money to spend so i just searched ebay, autotrader, cars.com for about 3 months till i found the right one. i bout it with 115k miles on it for 6 grand. it was a 98 2.8 and the book value on it when i bought it was 9500 for private owner in good shape, not excellent so i figureed it was a good deal. well long story short came on here and the mod bug bite, so i decided to sell it and get a 1.8t and i actually made money off my last car, quite a bit so that is how i roll... not wasting money like you say


but yea im sure i could have a new "nicer" car with less mileage but thats not important to me, maybe before i go to college this fall but not now.

BadLuckAudi- The car is from my sister....its a 96 DX in mint condition she got from her boyfriends father..so it really dosnt need much work..she is just buying a new car and she thought since timing was good..she would offer me that car.

Now that i see what mj did, i might get a 2.8 and then upgrade in a few years because i would love having a nice interior vs a honda. I dont need the car to be too fast because im not that into racing...i just want a car that i can look at and say wow..this is mine..and no one else has it...thats why i was thinking audi, because no one around here my age has one. I was thinking along the line of conservative body mods, possibly skirts all around, or even a full kit, and some newer audi rims(if they would fit) A CAI and a 2" exhaust to give it a little low end sound and a few HPS.

About how much would a 96 2.8 go for?

I put 147,000 miles on my Toyota Corolla, and it ran like a tank! I never had to replace anything major on it! Toyota's are the most reliable IMO!
