Default Work with it, or sell

Ok, here's my delimma, when I bought my car, I knew I wanted to buy an A4, wanted a 1.8Tq, standard tranny. Well, on my first day of looking, I found my car which was an absolutly killer deal ($5300, only 73,000 mi) Well, long story short I bought it up right away. Well now after owning it for a couple months and chipping it, I've realized this whole front-trak thing is gonna be a problem. I know I'm going to swap turbos (that's just the way it goes with me, I start off with little mods, then can't quit till I have the best). I know traction will be an issue later down the road, but I also know that drag radials can work wonders. Basically, if in my position, would you work with it, or sell it and buy another with what I want. The main problem for me is that audi's aren't a big market around where I live and you rarely see them on lots, so I'd probably have to find one out of state. So what's your opinion?

True, very true.

I have already found one less than 200mi from me, that's within my range, assuming I can at least get out of my car what I paid for. Shouldn't be a problem

You wrote before that you were looking for around 200 hp. FWD can handle that and more...no problem. Keep your car unless you find a good deal on an AWD model.

P.S. I've always liked that yellow.

Yeah, I see your points. I just need to make sure I'm going to be happy no matter which way I go because once I start into this, swapping turbos and such, then it becomes kind of too late to go back.
