99-0x 1.8T Quattro<12kAs much as some say i know about electronics/pcs...that would be how little i know about cars...From talking to owners, reading threads here and other forums, I've decided this would be a fun car to own. Never really had much of anything in terms of a car so this would be a nice change. However, I can't read enough on edmunds/ebay/autotrader/cars.com to avoid getting hussled. Manual/Tiptronic neither is a deal breaker...manual would be more fun, tiptronic to avoid showing how rusty i prolly am driving the former. ITS LIKE A BIKE AMIRIGHT? thanks to anyone that offers advice.GO!This is all i've come up with...engine replacedhttp://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=007&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=170122495718&rd=1,1http://raleigh.craigslist.org/car/326769892.htmlhttp://tinyurl.com/2nqfx8http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=007&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=170122733408&rd=1,1S4 that looks clean, laundry list of problemshttp://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=004&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=140130582925&rd=1,1[Edited on June 21, 2007 at 1:56 PM.

Why are you even looking at S4s if you are wanting to buy an A4?

if you read the pdf, you'd see i already pulled from at least the first forums you mentioned :\i'm trying not to be a complete noob about this situation.---or is there a super secret audi club that only the elitist of jerks get in, secret passwords, handshakes and overall obnoxious behavior thinking they are better than most common folk...
