Most likely I will be purchasing a b5 Audi a4 q. Tell me what you guys think of the car. Should I buy it? I am buying one that has around 100k miles on it or less, any major maintenance that needs to be done on the car that I should ask about? Let me know! Thanks !

 

what year? what motor? auto/manual?

anyway it goes, timing belt and water pump should have been done at least once

check the wheel bearings/tie rod ends.... valve cover/cam seal

 

Check the FAQ sticky at the top.

 

Ill actually post a few links and you tell me what you think, and for sure im actually looking at the FAQ's on another tab =). Oh and I am mainly looking for manual cars.

an Avant with some work done.

Tell me what you think =).

 

Anyone have any pro/cons on the engines in these things?

 

1.8t > 2.8
avant ftw
quattro and manual were musts for me
those cars you posted seem pretty expensive

 

Cars in this state seem to run a little expensive!

 

b5's should all be 6k and less unless there super lower miles which would be $7500 at best in price

 

The Avant made my trousers expand a bit. But it's Tip and rather pricey.

As Jeff stated, the biggest thing you need to worry about is the TB and water pump.

 

for a tip with 2.8 thats way over priced even with 88k miles.
