Good Idea: 2011 Subaru Outback 2.5i or 3.6R. 30,000-60,000 miles.
"Good" but not Good Idea: 2006 Audi S4 Avant with 70,000 miles.
And they're the same price.

You're 30,000 miles away from a $4,500 timing belt job on the S4. Proceed with caution.

If I were you, I'd go with the 3.6r. The first gen CVT's in the 2.5i's are not the greatest things out there.

Haha, I know. I just couldn't believe it was under the same Search Filters. (Although all I did really search was 4WD Wagon.) Would never get the Audi. Cause I have to ask my parents for this.

Here's one way to get around the timing chain issue;

Buy S4

Drive 'til the motor grinds itself to pieces

LS3 swap

What timing chain?

Even better idea: Legacy 2.5GT wagon.

WRX motor + AWD + manual - WRX insurance costs = win.
