Hello all. Here is my situation, my STi was stolen and recovered in NJ a few weeks ago, I do have trust in the people who are fixing it, but the fact remains, the car will never be the same to me. I dont want her back , I wish she was totaled.

the way I see it I have two choices, sell the STi or trade it in for something else. I'd like the reduction in monthly payments and see that the 1 year old STi market is saturated at the moment so the trade in seems more likely.

Bottom line, I'd like a car under 25k, made in or after 2000. Any ideas? I'm looking for perhaps a certified pre-owned car.

 

how about an S4? I think they are roughly that price these days.

 

From someone who knows much more about Audi's then I, are S4's reliable? We are talking about the twin turbo ones correct?

 

Dude keep the STi, an audi has no comparison. Sport compact car compared the STi and Evo and the Sti killed it, they also compared the Evo to the S4 and it killed it. Dude ill trade you an A4 and a GNX for you STi.

Dude BiTurbo S4's are like 20k new S4's are like 60K. you paid what 32 or 38 W/ dealer premium? you could sell your STi and et a BiTurbo S4 and dump like 10g's into it. Now that would be sweet

 

If you are serious I'd take that trade. I actually was at a Buick meet today. buddy has a GN.

 

Pretty Kick *** cars huh? No, i cant trade it it is a joint ownership between me and my dad, plus the cars worth like 40k being 1 of 1010 and 3500 miles.

 

I would defintely trade for an S4 and drop 9 or 10 in it, with that you could do a turbo up grade and chip and a fews other mods and be beating an sti.

 

Right on! AB1618. but the sti stock can run low 13's high 12's. but you have to consider when you modify a car you shorten its life time greatly. still 10g's in a s4 would be kickass!

 

If you were serious about trading when i get my A4 up and running it should be on par with your STi, and i might have a friend that will sell me his '85 GN. its not a GNX but its still a grand national.

 

I would go wiht the voltwagon gti R32.....if you can find one for 25k
