Default Question - 1998.5

Hi, I wanted to know if you guys knew what the differences are between the 1998.5 and the 1999.5. From what I know the 99.5 has projector headlights and the 98.5's dont...

I dont know if its worth getting the 98.5 or the 99.5 because I heard the 98.5's have more problems

This the the description of the car from the seller:
The car is in excellent mechanical condition with some minor exterior flaws.
The car just had major tune up done. All belts, hoses, thermostat, waterpump, spark plugs and oil changed. Have receipts for all work done. The car has 85,XXX miles. The AC blows cold. This car was equipped with the sports package. 16' rims and sports steering wheel. Power everything, except the seats; which are heated. Need to sell because I need to get an automatic, gf does not wish to learn stick. Price is neg. Also upgraded s4 xenon headlights put on the car. JVC cd player, detachable face. Thanks


He hasnt changed the clutch and is asking 7500, think I can bring it down to at least 7000?

Thanks in advance for replys!

Some pics.

Make sure the timing belt and tensioner were changed when the other belts were changed.

I believe it was mostly cosmetic.

The foglights were moved down, 1 peiece head lights , different style tailights

If you search you would find this: http://ctny.audiworld.com/mark/a4/diff/

Thats a good link to see the differences.

Is it just me , or the angle, or the lighting, but the headlights look difference from eachother.. could be me.

That pic is pre 99.5. basically everything was appearance related except the 99.5 had the updated tensioner (I am not positive on this but I know mine had the upgraded one)
