Ive been thinking of purchasing a used Audi A4 B5 97-99 for sometime now but I dont know alot about german cars but one of my friends just purchased a 1998 Audi a4 1.8t and I love it and its made me want one even more i have about 7k saved up and have been lurking ebay and autotrader for about a month now and was wondering which model was better to buy the 1.8 or 2.8. Also I would like to know some things to look out for when im buying a used audi ill be getting one in the low 100k milelage range but I also have access to my dads performace shop which has a dyno 4 lifts and many other usefull tools but then again I dont know to much about german cars since its a gm high performace shop but I would very much appreciate knowledge on buying a used audi.

 

Well either way you should look for a later one like 98 99 99.5 they are great cars, 1.8t is highly modable and can be quick as hell, 2.8 is old faithful and about the only thing you can do to give her more power is a Supercharger for abour 4g's search around the A4 forums and you should find all the answers to your questoins oh and make sure the timing belt has been done at least once
