Default possible purchase..

i've finally found an acceptable A4 in my price range, 1.8T, Manual, i think it might not be a Quattro (how big of a downside is this?).. its in the Chicago area. Its a little bit of a road trip for me, maybe like 4 hours or so, but i think its worth it. Anyone around the Chicago area? Maybe meet up and talk a little Audi-business.. i don't know, kinda new to this forum and what not..

Yeah, I live in CT and during heavy snow like to take turns at 25 mph, hell knows what would happen if I didn't have Quattro. The only downside to it is that it adds curbweight to the car, but what can ya do?
