Hello. I own a b5 a4 2.8 and am looking at an 05.5 a4 2.0t, manual w/ 21k on it. I am probably going this weekend to look at it. Is there anything I should look for? He's selling it for $16.5k

 

save more money and get 2007 or 2008. 1. you will have warranty 2. by 2007-2008 audi fixed some glitches (its never a good idea to get first year production car)

 

What are some of the problems with the 05.5? Are they major? It seems like a good price (around $3k less than blue book). Should i ask for a lower price than?

 

i am new to audi. but check out this forum for more info:

you should be looking to pay anywhere between kbb trade-in and private party value. i would say PP value is the highest you should consider.

 

Joe, for better info, check this page and scroll down to the bottom where you can see a consumer reports outline of the year models... 2005.5 was NOT the first year model as someone else suggested.. I have a 2006 A4 and it came with another year of free scheduled maintenance AND an extended warranty... Good Luck!

wha ????????????

2005.5 WAS the first year for b7 2.0T A4. 2005 models are B6 1.8t and 3.0 V6

 

Thanks for the replies guys. I was looking more for stuff to look for on the car before I buy it, and not so much the reliability down the line.

 

i dont think there is much to look for except maybe oil leaks. its just 2005-2006 can (not will) cause problems down the line when it hits 50k+ miles.
