“This is a custom built ...” - nope. This is a near-as-makes-no-difference 13 year old car with major drivetrain modifications. And it’s an old Audi. And why do all that work and sell it after only 15K? It might be worth 1/2 what he’s asking. Run, run away.

Hahahaha. Part of me loves this. I own a C5 Audi. Love/hate that thing. Both of these cars are like the best/worst thing ever.

I can only imagine that this will grow to be one of the most difficult Audis to maintain....ever.

“Worth” is defined by what someone is willing to pay for it. A car like this hasn’t existed before so we don’t know what it’s worth yet.

For 38 dollars that’s an absolute steal. For 3800 it’s worth the price for 38k it’s a rolling dumpster fire

He’s going to have to find one person in the small group of interested parties. I fall into another group - if the car has been modified too much I’m always convinced there will be problems.

It’ll makes those Allroads look reliable?

The RS6 biturbos are maybe even more notorious than the allroad.

It says $38 in the title which is NP. However the $38,000 listed later isn’t. Talk about bait and switch. He also claims its a reliable Audi so that might make it worth a billion dollars. It does include Hawk HPS pads though, so there’s that.

My dream Audi is an R8 6M ... guessing even those are more reliable.

The owner is a master automotive technician. Odds are he knows what he’s doing.

In that case, it’s a money grab. I’ll also point out that I’m a lawyer, and I know complete fucking idiots who have managed to pass the NY bar. Not everyone with credentials is trustworthy, or even capable.

That’s nice. But you’re being overly critical. It’s impossible to tell without looking at this in person.

Fair enough - I’m risk-averse enough to where I wouldn’t even look at it, but someone might fall in love.
