Ok, so I am looking at an A4 2.8 Quattro right now. The guy is asking $6500 for it. It is a manual 5 sp, cloth interior, but does have power sunroof, and seems to run well. One thing about it though. It has a salvaged title. The guy says his wife scraped it into one of those concrete poles on the passenger side. He has it all fixed. At this time I do not know if there is any frame damage. I am probably going to have a mechanic look at it for damage. In running the car the only thing about it was when making a full on 360 degree turn there is some noise, like tire rubbing wheel well, on the passenger front (where the damage was) But that noise was not apparent on regular turns or 135 degree turns.

I was thinking of offering him $4000, if the frame checks out.

Oh yeah, the interior is immaculately clean, but the FM radio doesn't work. But who cares, I was going to replace it anyway.

So, what do you guys think?

Here are some pictures. Sorry they suck, but they were taken as it was getting dark.







^ Those are the only flaws in the paint that I could find. It is on the passenger rear quarterpanel.

 

ehh 4000 tops.. and I dont know if i would even offer that.. Salvaged titles scare the crap out of me to tell you the truth... what are your plans with this car? ohh and just FYI.. I have never seen an Audi without a Power sunroof

 

Yeah, the $4000 was a tops. I was going to start at $3000, and work up if nessasary.

 

hmm is that because your on a limited budget.. or just becase? because if you can spare the extra.. I would recommend holding out and getting a newer model.. 96 was the first year and its a 12v.. if you get a 98 its a 30v Here this might help you learn some things about the A4 and every other model of Audi..

If it checks out I think its a good deal for even $5000. Looks good on the outside for sure.

 

no way... you could find better than that anywhere.. you could pick one up with out having a salvaged title.. with under 100k miles.. (or right around) for 6000

 

Salvage title has absolutely no resale. I'd offer $5000 at the absolute most and $4500 if you can get it for that. Other than that, looks pretty clean.

 

Option 1

Option 2

Just keep shopping around.. thats my 2 cents..

 

ohh and Option 3 if you wanna go PIMP style....

 

PIMP style=the suck.
I also have no intention to resell because I plan on driving it until the wheels fall off. My max budget would be $10k, but I would rather spend $3k-$7k.
