haha yea I live in Canada. So the 155k would be roughly 97,000miles

the asking price of $6500CAD would be $6270USD

As much as I'm really getting tired of these posts "should I buy this one?" yes you should if it's what you want, but you should definitely negotiate that price

I ended up picking this car up for $5000(CAD) with a set of winter tires free.

Upon trying to get the car saftied I ran into a couple hurdles

Tbelt needs to be done (aware)
Upper front control arm
Upper front control arm rear
Front brake pads
Front brake rotors
license plate light assembly
Needs both Flex sections of DP

Booooo

well I got a refund of $450 from the sellers so my actual buying price was $4550CAD with a quote of $2100 for parts and labour from the shop.

I bought the majority of the parts off ECS tuning for $500 and another site for $160...

What do you think? I was bummed out in the beginning when I got the first estimate, but hey...

yeah i did my timing belt/water pump with my dad and we have never done it before on an audi a4 2.8 quattro, everything went well it took around 6h, you just got to take your time and sort everything out when you take it off shouldnt have any problems

Since you're in Canada, I'm not too sure how much Audis cost over there.

96,000 miles for $6,500 isn't a bad deal I'd say.
