Question Opinions on B5 vs B6

I have an oppurtunity to get either a very well cared for S4 B5 (01.5) Stage 2+ (55k) or a high mileage s4 b6 (105k) which would you choose and why?

Thanks for any replies

hands down i would pick the B5. it has very low miles for the year and you already got a chip and exhaust. the question is do you have the money, patience and time to deal with the maintenance that comes with it? if you do your own wrenching then you can save some serious money. Whith the stage 2 setup your gonna have to replace those original K03 turbos sooner than normal.

what other mods are on the car?

b5 ftw. imo

it depends on what you want out of a car... ?? what do you want to do with it? do you like to do your own work? do you want a reliable car from point a to b, or do you enjoy tinkering with your car/proformance...

Well since you put it that way, Maintenance isn't really a problem for me since i have a cousin that worked on VW's and Audi's from changing Oil to replacing the engine turbo's. I think the B5 is better looking as well.

Thanks for replies

I own a B7 and this one is even a no brainer for me - B5 all the way.

^ Well, don't want to get that debate all fired up (again). I like the looks of the B7 over the B5 and I'm not a mechanic, so it suits me. But in this case the B5 has a lot less miles and ALBS likes the looks, so, no contest.
