Just picked this car up a week or so ago, as some of you know i made a deal to trade my s4 for this as i was afraid the motor in the S4 was getting tired with alomsot 160k on it. I wouldnt mind keeping this for awhile but turns out i am more of a sedan guy. Asking $16,800 best offer open to the idea of trades. Also i am currently at work and cannot host pics so if someone would be so kind to post them for me pm me their email address and i can send them, The car is as clean as it looks, runs strong and just this past weekend i had the car checked out by turbociv and anything seems to be in order. If are a serious buyer i will pay to have a PPI done at your mechanic of choice.

You got out from under the high mile s4 that was not selling at all, for this. Clean car, solid mods, easier to sell IMO, and given a clean bill of health from TurboCiv. I’d say it was a decent decision given the circumstances… ---

key things to check are cam follower and that it’s had a dsg fluid change. beyond that this should be a solid car for ages regardless of warranty. ---
