I just wanted to take my time and say hello to all of you members here. I just purchased my 2000 audi a4 1.8t a week ago and am in love with it.

I did not have an a4 in mind when I started looking for a car to buy, but the moment I test drove one, I fell in love with it and knew that I cannot settle for anything else than the timeless a4. the car has 70000 miles, it is in pristine cosmetic condition and I am willing to find and fix every single flaw that I can find under the hood, since I want my a4 to run perfectly. By the way, I'm not a mechanic nor do I have any mechanical experience, but I am mechanically inclined and a do-it-yourself type of guy. I've spent the last couple of days on this forum, researching about the car, and one thing is for sure: dealerships tend to charge you through the roof when it comes to maintenance and repairs.

If you guys don't mind, I will be asking for pieces of advice here and there, and I will try to give back as much as I can to this wonderful b5 a4 owners community. I am from the nyc area and I wouldn't mind making new friends and hanging out with fellow audi owners.

So I salute all of you proud b5 owners! Glad to be part of this great forum. Happy driving!

 

Congratulations on the purchase and welcome to the community.

Got any pictures?

 

Welcome to the forum!!
and Yeah put some pics up.

 

it's silver, just like yours . I'm in love with it. My new baby.

 

congrats dude, yea post some pics,

5-speed? and timimg belts gonna have to be done in the near future if it hasnt already?

 

I want to change the timing belt at the 80k mark, just like the schedule says. I will treat this a4 like my baby, lol.

 

We want to see if it's clean and worthy for our forums! LOL. Just kidding.

We always love to see pictures of B5's. That's how much we love them.

 

yea dude as long as you do all you routine maintenence, like oil change, spark pluggs, etc. your cars gonna treat you really good?

do you have any mods in mind you want to do to it?
and its a quattro right?

 

quattro it is, I wouldn't have loved it like I do if it wasn't a quattro. the priority is to fix any flaws, and I will think about mods later. I was doing 90 yesterday and I felt glued to the ground. the car is really fast for a 1.8t, and the handling is incredible. can't wait to drive it again. I had to go to the store two blocks from where I live, I took the car out, and I came back 30 minutes later. I had to take it on the highway again. that's how bad i got it. lol

 

Are you planning on chipping the car?

It would feel like a brand new car once it's chipped. You'll fall in love with it all over again.
