A 12-year old, high performance german sedan, with almost 100K miles on the clock?

What could possibly go wrong?

That’s not the right motor.

Do you have enough money to pay for the very-possible expensive repairs, and are you willing to have to spend this money on very-possible expensive repairs?

My S4 is older with 22ok. I say do it.

Cherry_man1 > BeaterGT
10/29/2015 at 13:03

Because?

Cherry_man1 > Textured Soy Protein
10/29/2015 at 13:03

About how much would repairs run at a shop and how much are the parts?

Cherry_man1 > spanfucker retire bitch

Nothing.

Friend of mine has one that dyno’d at 400hp and 500ft/lbs at the wheels with just an added tune and exhaust. Def no slouch

Listen not to the faint of heart. This was Audi’s legend before the big modern S sedans and after the RS2. One of these comes up you buy it, don’t look at the repair costs and maybe sell it at a net loss or break even.

Cherry_man1 > ColoradoTaco
10/29/2015 at 13:10

It’s got more torque then my coyote mustang o.o;

ColoradoTaco > Cherry_man1
10/29/2015 at 13:11

I’d almost guarantee that you run at least $10K within a couple years in maint/repairs. I spent an embarrasing amount keeping a B5 S4 on the road over 4 years, this is just more complicated than that

Cherry_man1 > banjo cat ghost of oppo past
10/29/2015 at 13:12

I know it’s a monster. it’s just is it worth the miles?

Cherry_man1 > ColoradoTaco
10/29/2015 at 13:13

How many special tools do you need?

ColoradoTaco > Cherry_man1
10/29/2015 at 13:16

Probably not many, torx bits were the only thing that I didn’t have right off when needed. The issue is space mostly, see how that engine bay zero room to work? You have remove a lot of body work to get stuff done. Bigger items, like the turbos, will need to have the engine and pulled to even see them

Bad idea. These things are a nightmare to work on and 98k miles means it’s almost due to have the nose pulled off for a timing belt.

Thanks for the link. Still wrong. Pictured is the 3.0L V6. 4.2 V8 only has a single cam gear per side.

I don’t know any specific numbers, I just know those numbers could very well be big.

That’s one squeaky clean engine bay.

Which means it’s about to explode.

That’s a good 5k over blue book. Plus it’s a 12 year old Audi.

Great idea when they work. “Fuck this” when they don’t. Ultimately the power gets a bit boring honestly. Loved AMG cars for a month or two, then they got boring or at the least not involving. Preferring my E39 M5 now for those reasons.

jkm7680 > Cherry_man1
10/29/2015 at 16:02

Depends on you.

The recommended interval for timing belt changes is 35,000 miles. They’re needy cars.

Automatic? Who gives a fuck. Still cool. NP.

Hey, I think I found your old S4 on Craigslist a while back. Haha.

I think it just had the timing belt done.

Ya dude been trying to sell since he bought it. I traded it in since I didn’t want to deal with it. He got it for ~$8k and he’s trying to flip it for like 12.

ColoradoTaco > bryan40oop

It’s still there, been listed since March

10/30/2015 at 23:33

Bwahah.

Sounds like a kid who’s trying to sell it. Still looks great on those flat fives though.

I’d buy it if; Lived in Denver, it was manual and if I didn’t just buy a 2.7t A6.

It’s under 100k and I say this without sarcasm. ..how bad can it be?

If it was a manual it would still live in my garage

13 year old TT V8 Audi with 450 hp, 4000 lbs, and 100k, or...

4-5 year old S4 with ~400-425 hp from a tune and 3800 pounds
