I never really knew how nice the older A4’s are until I found that kids silver A4 at WOW. It was an awsome car minus the 8 out of 9 tv’s in it :rolleyes: . I was talking to sailor and he said you can pick one up used for 10-12K. He also said the one I was looking at had the “sport package” it had heated seats, etc… What years was that style made 96-02? or like 98-02? The interior was flawless, I loved the leather and door trim panels. I also like the fact that its a 1.8t and is a quattro. I am going to start to look for one wrecked, fix it, paint it with a new coat of BASF Glasurit paint, drive it for a few thousand miles, then sell it.

Anyone else have any opnions on this. How is the 1.8t motor? Is it the same as Sonnys VW? I always liked Audis but never really got a good look at one inside, now I am in love with it.

Any opnions / good websites to go to read up on them?

Thanks  
Mark

Be prepared for German eccentricities.

and it’s basically the same motor as the VW1.8T, if I recall correctly.

I thought the blue Quattro coupe along the back wall was awsome. Sliver A4 is great too, def an improvement from last year but those wheels got to go :doh:

1.8T’s are great little motors…what kind of VW does sailor have? it’s probly not the same…AEB motors are found in late 90’s Audi’s and VW. Stock hp is around 150 on 7lbs, turn up that boost around 15-20 lbs with a mbc and/or tweek the computer maps and get that biatch up to and above 200hp and 250 ft lbs tq

if you have any questions I’ll try to help out, I’m by no means a mechanic, I just know alot of stuff

If I would have been smart and bought coilovers instead of bodykit that would have never happened :eek:

stock ride height and stiffness is a bit shaky even w/ AWD, bodyroll owned me that night

Didn’t get a close enough look, I was only there 3 hours but I liked what I saw.

and yea, Audi’s are expensive if you buy everything new…if you look around though you can find some deals slightly used stuff

all 1.8t motors are the same. the only difference is u can’t swap a auto motor into a 5-spd w/o converting the crank. vw/audi dropped the ball and machined the crankdifferently. nothing better than having motor in car and finding this out.

other little differences are how intake manifold sits the throttle body, as well as what turbo came w/ it.

hp wise, they all can be made = w/ chips etc. no big deal there.

I totally forgot I posted this… thanks for the replys guys… When I was talking to Sailor about it, he said you can pick a used one up for like $10 to $14K… what years did they make that style in. I like the 2000 year style… whats the earliest year they made that style, I am mainly looking for price becuase I am in the process of getting a new GMC Denali and I really cant afford a newer one. The only way I would be able to buy one is if I found a wrecked one cheap, I would like to fix it myself for some body work experience, drive it for a few thousand miles and then sell it…

I just could not believe the detail in the interior. I am a BIG fan of a cars interior… to me thats just as important if not MORE important than the outside styling. They door panels reminded me of a BMW, so did the dash… Can you get factory navi for that car?
