Its got 90,100 miles on it and iam not sure if i want to continue to upgrade it the fram and car are in great shape but the car is a 97 so its older iam not sure if it is worth putting money into it anymore becouse of wear i would like a new suspention and some mods like that. Iam not sure if it is worth putting anymore money on the car not engine or do u think it will last for a long time. I would really like to keep this car because it was my first car. thanks

i know alot of folks that have bought their audi w/ 90k or more. you could probably do another 100k with that car if you keep the maintenance up. stack your chips and get another car; that should be your next upgrade.

I bought mine with 69k, but know folks who have over 130k on 1.8t chipped motors and still run strong...i.e. no problems so far.

Dude, Tom has done so much to his car it's not even funny. And I believe it's been out of commision longer than in :laugh: . It's a monster though. You're not really ghonna kill reliability until you start boosting high with the wrong software.

90K miles? That's really not that bad. I have 99,901 as of this morning and these cars will go over 180,000 if maintenance is on par. I talked to a guy at a high end Audi/VW/BMW shop that has a VW Golf that's a 94 that is supercharged with a bunch of HP and he's had the thing super'd for over 70K miles with no significant problems.
