no worries on the area.. but you're putting $5,000 dollars into a car that is over 12 years old(even though you cant due to you're 12v, but this is for argument sake). if you can afford to put a minimum of $5000 into your A4, you should be able to save up and buy an S4. patience is a virtue. keep your head up, your wallet tight and soon enough you'll be able to get your next dream car. either S4 or another. and take notice that your 12 year old car is still nicer than your friends new ricer econo box

they're just typo's. and people that don't know what they are talking about..

no one has been able toor really tried to crack the hitachi ECU that the 12v's are equipped with

 

sell it and by a 1.8T and mod that.

 

How about a 1.8T and a BT setup.

I do worry about the "teenager with no money". Seriously modding a car decreases its reliability. Unless you know your way around an engine, you are going to spend lots of money at your tuner keeping it running well. No sense having a fast car that doesn't move becuase you can't pay the mechanic to find out what is wrong.

My suggestion, is to take a deep breath, and enjoy your car for what it is and save your money.

 

Wow guys, thanks for the input, it's been really helpful. I've decided that I'm going to start saving some money for an S4 and sell my car once I can afford the new one. Im also only going to chip the S4, nothing else so there's not an excessive amount of wear on the engine and so it lasts. Thanks again,

Mike

 

I hate seeing a saturn **** on me, it's pretty depressing. Im thinking about an 01 S4 and I've been browsing through the classifieds lately, there have been a few that have caught my attention. I really like the Nogaro Blue, it's such a nice color, i'm kind of getting tired of my Brilliant black.

 

im painting my a4 nogaro blue, well that and another color[:-] i think its one of the sexiest colors ever. a manual 02 nogaro s4 would be a dream come true lol

 

look on overstock.com.......there are older s4's for sale at dealers..... find one within decent driving distance, and trade your a4 for it..... if it is mostly or all paid off, you could probably swing the monthly

 

I paid cash for my a4 so there's no monthly payments or any type of fees due on it. Would i get more money selling my a4 or trading it in for an s4? Theres a kid i go to school with who wants to buy my car for $7400, I paid $5800 out the door. And another question; will insurance be more on an S4 than it is on my A4, because as of right now, I'm paying $208 a month in insurance.

 

A. Yes insurance will be more on an S4, think about it, two turbo's + a lot more HP then a 12v, you do the math, insurance is gonna hit you hard.

If he wants to pay 7,400 for your car, sell it to him, think about it, you would be making a huge profit on a 12 year old Audi that usually sells for around 4k. Don't trade it in because you will basically get nothing from the dealer since it's such an old car and they would have to then sell it to a used car lot so that it can be resold because dealers don't stock cars more than a few years old.


My personal thought would be for the time being, sell the 12v, pick up a 1.8t and then go BT, to thwamp your friends Saturn and save you some insurance and repair money.(just the thoughts of a fellow 12v'er and college kid with little money to his name) After College, pick up an S4 and have a blast when you have all that disposable income.
