E55. With all the options. Dynamic seats, nav, distronic, ect. I’ve seen these cars with all this shit go for under 30k (2004-05). It’s alot of bang for the buck. Or buy a brand new Toyota. Any model I don’t give a fuck. Maybe a Tacoma. ---

You took it a different way than I intended. In fact, you’re the one assuming I was saying anything about anyone’s financial situation. All I was saying was that $29k is a lot for a car man. I meant nothing regarding Steve himself. Listen, I’m done with this now. I just think you freaked over nothing Drew (That is your name right?). To get back on topic, I agree with what was said about driving all 3 before making a decision. Sent from my Droid using Tapatalk ---

I would shy away from the RS4 just due to the valve and intake mani build up they have issues with. My vote is for E55 if you can live with auto or M5 if you must have stick. ---

I’ve heard about this being fairly nasty. Causing lack of power and mileage issues and being pretty much unavoidable. ---

> [@Minglor](#): > > Ugh. > I’ve heard about this being fairly nasty. > Causing lack of power and mileage issues and being pretty much unavoidable. Yea I’ve read it can get really bad. The car is rated for 420hp(crank) some people have dyno’d like 200whp because of the awful build up. It’s cleanable but kind of a pain and/or pricey. The good news is that it is a fairly well known issue in the RS4 world so enthusiasts are likely to have this taken care of by now ---

Good choice. Make sure it has all the options. I’ve been looking on eBay, there’s always a few nice 2005’s with like 30,000miles on them for 26-32k. They made this in a wagon as well, hard to find and alot more monies. ---
