Besides the badges, of course?

Serious question, I know it sounds silly!

My concern is that someone is selling a Quattro but really it's FWD.

 

Nvm, figured it out lol

 

See if it has a rear axle.

It should also say Quattro on the dash trim.

 

Yea just stick your head under the car and do as drifter said.

If that doesn't help you... well then non of us can.

 

lol it was one of those things where after I posted it it came to me and I couldn't find the 'delete thread' button.

 

Oh no worries, happens to the best of us.

 

Maybe one of yall can help me then..

I was looking at the FWD 2001 Audi A4, but someone is selling a 2001 A4 Quattro for much cheaper oddly enough. Sounds pretty good to..

Besides making sure all (4) tires are the same, do AWD cars require different maintenance / care than FWD?

 

Yes and no, you have 4 more cv boots that can rip, 2 more axles that can snap, and a differential to deal with. However none of these are common failures and all are easy/cheap to replace/maintain. Quattro FTW

 

Yea there's really not much maint added with the quattro. But the advantage in bad weather is just terrific.
