Now for those who want to read: Nice Audi S4 2001.5 6-speed manual with 160k miles on it. I'm second owner first owner was a family from Germany and was primarily driven by the owners wife with her child in the back. Needless to say it was not abused and i cleaned quite a few cheerios from under the rear seat when i got it. however, THE CLUTCH IS in need of replacement the car runs and drives but will not hold any gear over second at more than half throttle, this is a result of the extra power and is actually the pressure plate, i HAVE BEEN DRIVING IT THIS WAY WITH NO ISSUES FOR OVER 8 MONTHS NOW its completely driveable. a new RS4 clutch and pressure plate is INCLUDED WITH THE SALE just needs to be installed i just got it and will install it if noone picks this car up. i have lowered the price 3 grand from my asking price because of this, nobody has money right now but im sure someone has 6000 for this car. i am absolutely firm at $6000, i got a 7300 dollar offer and turned him down before my clutch issue and he moved on. at this point i will be accepting offers at or over 6000 im moving to southern california and need to sell.

Only bad with the car is a leaking valve cover gasket which only drips once about 5 mins after startup, and what is listed above, and the typical aging of paint and interior on a 10 year old car which is not considerable.
