it needs work, a decent amount, the kid that had if before me drove it pretty hard, didnt take care of it. and it has a sh*t load of miles on it. 128,041 i think im at. But i was thinking about taking a like 3000 dollar loan and either fixing everything on it, or selling it (kbb says i can get about 4,662 for it) and try to find a car for around 7. as of right now i know for a fact it needs, drivers lower control arm, cv shaft,all control arms on right side, new brakes, timing belt was never changed, needs new transmission mounts,new windshield, new gas cap, new oil pan plug. and theres a sound i have no idea what it is. sounds like rocks in a pipe, or something is extremely loose when i rev to about 1000-1500 rpms. i love the car a lot. i just dont know if it would be worth it, can i please get a honest opinion on what to do

 

usually when cars get to that point....when it starts braking things....it jus kepp coming more and more trouble...try to find a better one

 

If you can do all the work yourself, then it's up to you. If you have to get someone to install all that ****, it will cost you more than the car is worth, and you should sell it. Not to mention that you have an unidentified scary sound, which will not exactly put money into your pocket. So sell it. Seriously. If you can find someone to pay 4600 for it, then do and buy a real A4. Timing belt thing is baaaaad.

 

If you can do the work you can probably make it work and fix the stuff but yea its not worth it to have 4 grand put into a car thats barely worth that much to start with

 

You better pray you don't have the older timing belt tensioner and the rattling isn't it going bad. If it is I would get it off the road ASAP.

 

i have a guy that is a family friend and can work on audi/vw's etc. its just i dont know if its worth it. i kinda was lookin forward to gettin this money to help with mods, but now from what everyone is saying. i should just get rid of it. and start fresh. which sucks

 

Dump it and get a $7,000 A4, IMO

 

i'd want another audi, i just dont know if i can afford one, im not the richest kid in the world. are vw's cheaper? and whats bad about them, i was thinking about a gli or gti, but im not gonna find one for 7-8 thousound. what should i be lookin for in that price range and i can do some mods to (mostly visual)
