I don't hate silver enough to pay for a full paint job when the silver paint is in really good condition
just got off the phone with a guy selling a stock 99.5 1.8t santorin avant quattro manual tan/black interior with 113k on the car and engine. timing belt was replaced with the clutch 13k miles ago. no cel or leaks or anything. carfax available. $3395. sounds too good to be true but I hope it's not

 

Good luck man! That might be worth sellin your car even if you DO get it to start eventually lol. Avants are SICK!

 

DAMN I'll buy that car right now. That's awesome good luck.

 

Avant? Do it!

 

I'm so emotionally attached to my car though I think I'm going to check out the avant tomorrow.. not too sure what I'd do with my current car if I get a new one.. probably let it sit in the driveway until summer when I have time to sell parts but who knows. if I do get the avant it'll probably remain stock for a while. I'll put my headlights on it and stuff, maybe chip it. but probably ride 4x4 probably until I can afford air... I need a job..

 

^ Bags? If you do get the Avant, that's the only time I will approve it!

I get what you're saying. It's the same for me and the B5. I've spent way too much time, money, sweat, blood, and tears that I don't think it will be worth to sell it (beside that I will never want to let it go).

Why don't you just keep the current car? Perhaps use one of them (either the Avant or the sedan) as a daily and keep one for weekend.

 

lol yeah I've been wanting an air project for a while and bagyards just realeased a rear set up for quattro b5's (probably wouldn't get bagyards though...$$$). who knows when I could afford any air. even if I do have my car's current problem fixed, I'll still have some other problems. if I would get the avant it seems like I would be able to sell it for more though.. I can't afford to buy and insure the avant and keep my car insured too.. I've been looking at early 90s accords and other hondas for a dd lately.... also I dunno if my parents will want that many cars at home but my brother did just get his license and doesn't have a car yet so I guess he could use one or something... the owner of the avant just listed the car recently and told me he's been getting a lot of calls so it'll probably end up selling before I want it to.

 

good luck with the avant. if you really wanna get it you should move quick if the owner is getting alot of interest.

 

yeah, my dad and I are going to check it out if it's still available tomorrow and buy it if it's good.. I don't have enough money to buy it myself so he's lending me the money now so I won't be modding it until it's paid off. if that happens I guess the plan is to take my car off insurance and have it towed to my house and try to figure out the problem with it when I have time to. if it's not an expensive fix I'll probably have it fixed and sell the avant..

 

sounds good. i personally like sedans more but there are some good looking wagens. good luck getting the sedan running and aswell as on that avant. if available get some pics of the avant up. not sure if its only or something or if seller sent u any.
