Default My B5 A4 1.8T Q M5 got totaled :(

UPDATE: Questions POST 31 (May 26th)

*UPDATE* with picture on post 16


It was not my fault. I'll try and get pictures up later when I'm home. Just found out they are totaling it. They offered me a buy back option for $700. I'm almost completely sure I'll be buying it back.

The damage is to the passenger side doors (mainly front) and front passenger wheel well.

No leaking fluids or anything and the car drives fine although I didn't drive it much because the tire will rub if you turn the wheel.

I'm thinking of maybe fixing it up just enough to be a daily driver again and then keep the rest of the cash. However I had gone a year and 30k miles (120k-150k) without replacing anything but oil so I'm sure something is going to break soon.


I have been looking at the A6 with the 2.7TT motor (used to own a stage 4 300ZX TT)

So maybe I buy back the A4, part it out or sell it and then find an A6. That sounds better than keeping the A4 and cash right?

an s4 sounds better, a6s are heavier and larger and uglier

I was thinking S4, just hard to find one that hasn't been modded. I like to start with clean slates. If I can find one I'll probably go that route.

agreed, but one who has modded and maintained shows they care. Id rather see a modded s4 with oil, timing belt, turbos, ect... done with decent mods, no bov and stupid **** vs seeing a stock s4 with shotty maintenance records. Now all modders are bad, its fairly simple to tell someone who bolts on ebay things vs someone who gives a ****

As long as you're okay, cars can be replaced.

I'd go with a stage 3 Allroad.

These things. Both of them. Especially the last one. Seriously.
