i think hes asking 2 much

 

Yeah, probably. But be prepared to put money into it right away. You might get lucky and have absolutely nothing go wrong, but maybe not so budget accordingly. Find out about the timing belt...if the dealer can't produce records, you should have another mechanic look at it. If it hasn't been replaced, then the car just cost you $800 more.

 

Man, I should really offer my car buying services at a fee. Don't get yourself screwed. Keep searching, you'll find a better deal. I bought my girlfriend a 1998.5 2.8 Quattro MT5 over a year ago with 110k on the clock and only paid $7,800. You can do MUCH better.

Look on eBay for starters.

 

mmm...?

1999 2.8 quattro with 69k on the clock - is that better?

 

That's more like it. But they probably haven't done the timing belt yet.

 

I purchased my 98.5 with 130k on it in Jan of 2006 for $5300 - everything mint. Keep looking around, or lowball the hell out of them - $4500. Watch ebay, thats where I got mine - guy was 30min away from me - but don't buy anything that you can't test drive first.

 

i've been looking into the diy pages for the timing belt swap. seems like a long day's work, but it looks like something I can handle - Plus, its about 180 compared to the 750 I was quoted the other day on the 145k a4

The only downside I see with this last one, is no premium audo (I love my music - slightly audiophile), and no 1.8t []
