Lol! I love white and i love wagons, and i have no idea why. But the one I am looking at is a 06 and it has the 2.0T FSI motor. Has around 64,000 miles but its only like 12k so I figure it's not to bad a deal. Its the base model I believe. The only thing i'm not to big a fan of, is that it doesnt have fog lights and The interior is a light tan. I'll miss my heated leathers.

oh wow. i'm incredibly jealous. i don't know if you're into tuning or anything or plan on keeping it stock or whatever, but a friend of mine has an a3 running apr stage 2 on his and it flies! lol! his is black though.
good luck on the car. it sounds like a good deal and they're good cars if you take good care of them. i'm out in Wentzville Missouri...like 350+ miles away. lol!

I'd love to see some other A3's maybe ride in a couple modded ones. I plan on doing a little something something to it though, but i'm not sure how far into it i will get. Any idea on what that apr stage 2 a3 will do in the quarter? More importantly what i will trap? Just to give me some kind of idea. I'm trading in my supercharged cobalt for it, so if it will be faster then what the cobalt was i will be happy.

I wanted a A4 for the longest time, but never found one i really wanted.

i talked to him about it, and he told me what exactly was done, and it's a little meaner than i thought. so i apologize for my previous claims. here's a link to what he's got on his, but keep in mind he's got a few other little tweaks and such. i don't think you'll have a problem at all besting a S.C. Cobalt with this powerband.

i apologize for not exactly knowing 60ft times and such, they recently shut down our local track so it's hard to get any sort of official readings. lol! just imagine what it'd do with 110.... 355hp and 368tq with just 100. lol! and all that starting at about 2500rpms... only problem you'll have is crazy heat soak without a front mount (which they recommend) and getting grip. lol! invest in slicks.

@turbo kraut:
yeah dude... if you only knew how crazy jealous i am of your car... haven't talked to you in a long time. how's it running? any reliability problems or anything?
btw, my a4 is getting the luxury treatment of a front mount and tune (already did exhaust and intake) in about 2 weeks. i'm excited!

The cobalt was no slouch when it had everything on it either, I had a bigger blower on it, meth injection 90/10, full exhaust, intake, cooling mods, tune etc. I never got my car dyno'd while on meth cause the switch kept going out, but i have friends with the same mods making around 300-330whp. All though torque was weak. But the power band was awesome, 300+whp from 3000rpm all the way up to 8000.

But I have bad news, the dealership sold the a3 i was going to buy the day before i was going to go trade it in. So Now i'm searching for another one. no luck so far.

aw dude, lame! lol! you should go steal it from the guy who bought it! lol!

i've got plans for my car.... so many to list. but my goal, 2.0-2.1 bore/hone, 25-30psi, head/valve work, GT30-71R, 500-650hp & 500-600ft-lbs.... loud, proud, and fast! lol! i've got so many plans, and literally the ONLY thing holding me back, is the lack of money right now... lol! and believe me, i KNOW how much it's going to be.... i'm looking at probably $10,000-12,000 for everything done right. but if i do it ALL myself.... probably closer to $8,000 or so.... i've got CNC equipment, balancing and flowtesting equipment, full shop availability.... just need the monies.... lol!
