Right now I have a '99 2.8

 

Just to clarify, the B5 S4's are a pain to wrench on. The B6's don't have that pesky biturbo problem.

 

Unless you have the money to drive it every day...An S4 should be a weekend car. They're not really meant to an every day driver. You can get away with it...but you better have the money to fix it once you buy it. Bigger engine = more can go wrong.

 

actually B7QUARTZ, the s4 has a smaller engine. it's the turbos that are doing the gas sucking lol

 

Oh...I was thinking about the new ones...sorry!

 

Yeah...........insurance is another reason im getting rid of the S4, im 23 with a perfect driving record and im paying $250 a month with a $2,000 deductible, plus the price of keeping the thing running.
I really think you should NOT purchase and S4 of any year un-less youearn $80,000 a year or more and be over the age of 25.

 

thats crazy? who are u with? i pay $105 monthly for my car! (when i checked into an s4, i gave them the vin off an 05 v8 s4, and it was $1 a month more!!!!!!!

 

Holy hell! Sounds like you need to change insurance companies. That or move to a less accident prone town.

 

the S4 made in the 90s used the C4 cahssis from the audi 100/A6 and same thing for the mid 90s S6. personlly i think these are cooler cars and the AAN engines a amazing. if i could afford it id get the S6 avant. the B5 S4 i would compare to haveing the pluses and minues of the 2.8 and 1.8t combined. its hard to work on since its cramped, its turbo. but then again its ALMOST both cars combined power espacially with a chip. most components should be the same as the ones used on the regualr A4 though. over all id say get it. its just a freaking awsome car.

 

Auditech79, you have a pm!
