I’ve been thinking about S4’s quite a bit lately but I don’t know too much about them other than they are hot and have Quattro. My interest would be in an 03-05 S4 Avant with a 6 speed manual. How troublesome are these cars? I know the 4.2 V8 is pretty widely used. Are there any issues common to them? This would be for daily driving duties (to and from work and getting groceries) I could definitely see myself rocking something like this. ![http://photos2.ebizautos.com/324/2275739_5.jpg](http://photos2.ebizautos.com/324/2275739_5.jpg) ---

my grandpa had one and liked his B5 S4 TT that was apr tuned better, but my guess is the B6 would be more reliable ---

My next car will be a B6 or B7. I love the B5 and it is a lot more fun to drive than the newer ones. Also the B5 aftermarket is huge and coming down in price. But on the other hand a B6 or B7 will still be a lot of fun to drive and be way more reliable, and they have no real common problems. I would definitely recommend it. ---

If you’re serious about wanting a grey B6 S4 avant, I have a customer who may be selling his. I’ve done a few mods to it: - Milltek cats/downpipes - Milltek resonated cat-back - O.CT chip - Hypershift short-shifter - Hyperflow intake I’ve also got other sources for these cars if you’re interested. ---

Beautiful car, gorgeous interior. 04/05 B6 s4 avants will run you $27k-35k depending on condition, mileage, CPO, etc. From what I’ve researched, stay away from the early 04 models (pre 10-03 build date) as they seem to have more issues. Even if it is an extra couple grand, I recommend getting a CPO’ed car that will cover you until 100k miles. The peace of mind is worth the money when owning a 4.2 audi. Good luck in your search. 04 CPO s4 [http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.jsp?car\_id=229493679&dealer\_id=54059129&car\_year=2004&marketZipError=false&awsp=false&search\_type=both&num\_records=25&keywordsfyc=&make=AUDI&transmission=Manual&model=S4&distance=500&make2=&address=14085&only\_price=1&default\_sort=priceDESC&advanced=y&certified=&max\_mileage=&max\_price=&sort\_type=priceDESC&min\_price=&only\_photo=1&body\_code=128&end\_year=2005&keywordsrep=&color=&start\_year=2004&drive=&search\_lang=en&page\_location=findacar%3A%3Aispsearchform&engine=&body\_style=WAGON&fuel=&doors=&style\_flag=2&cardist=287](http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.jsp?car_id=229493679&dealer_id=54059129&car_year=2004&marketZipError=false&awsp=false&search_type=both&num_records=25&keywordsfyc=&make=AUDI&transmission=Manual&model=S4&distance=500&make2=&address=14085&only_price=1&default_sort=priceDESC&advanced=y&certified=&max_mileage=&max_price=&sort_type=priceDESC&min_price=&only_photo=1&body_code=128&end_year=2005&keywordsrep=&color=&start_year=2004&drive=&search_lang=en&page_location=findacar%3A%3Aispsearchform&engine=&body_style=WAGON&fuel=&doors=&style_flag=2&cardist=287) ---

Yeah I have heard to stay away from the pre 10/03 cars. I’m just doing a little research on the cars right now. I won’t be ready to buy for a little while. Too bad this isn’t an Avant…still quite hot though.

Agreed, but if you’ve got the money to throw away on something you’d never see a return on, then you might as well buy an RS4 and get some resale value out of it. ---
