hey guys havent been on here in a damn good while but am in the market for either a b5 s4 or b5 a4 cant decide i am taking into consideration reliability but i want the speed of the s4 help me out i totally for got what to look for when buying an Audi

 

buy a 1.8t awd 5 speed very reliable compared to the s4 and just put a big turbo on it and be done with it =] but of course its gonna cost you so find a a4 already all nice and done up pretty i would not buy a ragged out a4 too many issues

 

i am some info -like Andrew said DON'T BUY A RAGGY ONE. i just bought a what i thought was decent 99 a4 but the dash was light up like a Christmas tree, the mechanic quoted 4k for fixes of little stuff. I am going to do them all myself considering its ridiculous to pay that much for any repairs you can do yourself. If i could buy one again id pay an extra grand or so to get one with perfect records so you don't have to guess on the timing belt and always worry about little maintenance things.

 

yep never buy a ragged out german car becuase your going to run into more issues down the road and plus what ever the current issues with the car

 

Amen my clutch lastEd 200 miles not even from the day I bought it used

 

wow yea i lucked out when i bought my first a4 it had 75,000 miles and had just a couple of problems in about 6 months
