everything on my b5 checked out when i bought it, then it slowly fell apart over the next 10 months of ownership. i would just buy a 2.8/1.8t and go through fucking everything on it. they are dirt cheap now, you could go through it and still have money to do other shit with.

I'm going to have the car for a year, I will be ensuring that the car is not a piece of shit when I buy. I honestly don't care what all of you say when you say "oh my god it's going to be so unreliable, blah, blah, blah" I can't imagine it being any worse than my car. I also can't imagine me making the same buying mistakes twice. I've come a long way since I bought this E46, and I'm not naive any more. My next car will be a B5 S4, and it will only be for a year, and I'm going to enjoy it.
You have to realize, you're buying a BI-TURBO V6 with literally no room to work with shit. It is MUCH worse than an E46, and a lot more things can go horribly wrong. This is not a tank of a motor that the BMW staight-6's are, this is a V6 crammed into a small bay surrounded by a nightmare of electronics and lines. As those before me have said, the higher the mileage, the worse it's gonna be.BB6 Prelude . . E36 ///M3 . . VA WRX Limited . . 1969 Nova

Originally posted by jdel View PostBut even if everything looks fantastic (confirmed by an Audi tech even) remember what you are buying. German vehicles (as you know) have a tendency to have weird shit break when there's no indication that it should be. The more miles on it, the greater the chance of that weird shit happening.
That being said, are you going to go with a set of BWS?

The B5 A4 is a classic timeless design, and that S4 is a dam nice car, but that's how it sucks you in.
Is that Rust or oil on the bottom of the door?
I dono man, as a random person from the internet I have to agree with the other random people here and say Buying a 12 year old S4 may not be the best move for worry free driving...
Also, Just notice its not running when they took pictures of the cluster.. could possible mean it has some Lights or codes going on, Most reason why that picture is there so the viewer and verify the miles with the ad..
not being able to see that info kinda makes the picture useless..Last edited by Z.Cockburn; 11-01-2012, 01:47 PM.

Have you consider see what kind of offers one could get if you tried to trade it in on something else?
