hi im new to the audi world and from what i have read on here the timing belt and turbos seem to be the 2 things people check for when buying a s4. is their anything else i should look for?/

here is a link to the sale ad http://atlanta.craigslist.org/cto/1283694204.html

 

sounds like a good deal with the work that's been done. just make sure the tranny is good; first and second gear synchros could be on there way out if it was abused.

 

test drove the car toDAy and it shift smoth from gear to gear and the saler seems to be very honest he gave me the vin number of the car so i can go to the audi dealership and have them print out records of when they worked on the car wich makes feel even better about buying this car what do you guys think should i buy it?

 

Seems pretty solid, especially that the work has been done at the dealership. Just keep some extra money around for random things that may go out; biggest issues I can think of are the control arms, coilpacks, and O2 sensors. Other than that, it's seems like a great deal. I would hop on it.

 

oh yea that one more thing i forgot to mention the coil packs were replaced 2 months ago the only thing i forgot to ask for was about the 02 sensors but thanks alot for helpiing me out hope fully the car will be sitting in my driveway tomorro

 

yah and make sure your the first one to start it the day you test drive it. BONE COLD STARTUP!

 

Sounds like a pretty solid deal. Owned it for the last 8 years, sounds like he was the original owner or bought it pre-owned when it was just a few months old.

The LCD in the dash looks to be pretty jacked, but that's typical of these cars. If you can, you might want to get a vag/scanner and check for stored codes just to make sure there aren't any O2/EGT codes lingering.

How long has it been chipped for? Also be aware of boost leaks and worn diverter valves if the car has been chipped for any length of time. Aside from that, looks like a great deal, I say go for it!

 

why? I'm looking at an S4 too. 2000 w/ 133,xxx mi.
