First post here guys, so sorry for the noobie question. I am looking at S4's and see a lot of 2001 and higher out there for around $16k+ for above 70k miles. I found a 2000 for $13k with similar miles and was wondering if there was anything to look out for in the 2000 model vs the later models.

Driving a 97 M3 now and am still trying to get to used to the world of forced induction!!

Thanks.....

 

Read the sticky at the top of the forum. It has all the info in there.

 

I read the FAQ's b4 I posted so as to not repost. I didnt notice anything specifically mentioning the 2000 model being any better/worse than the later models. Are there any upgrades that they did in the later model cars that would be worth the $3k to $4k difference in price or are there any things about the 2k model that are notworthy problems they addressed in the later years?

 

No not really. The early cars have no ESP, but have a F hose. The F hose is prone to leaking, & a PITA to replace, but a $30 samco hose takes care of it.

We have talked at great lengths the differences between the 2000 & 2001.5, there are a few little differences, but most are minor, and the only thing you can't really change or upgrade is ESP.

 

Again, this may be a dumb question, but what is the F hose?

 

It's a rubber vacuum hose in the shape of a F. It's right under the passenger side DV, by the throttle body.
