[A4] new / used a4

hah.   Well, they're rare because they didn't import many and manual 
transmission versions are even more rare.   They were pretty 
expensive when new.   It is tight in there with the W8.   I hear some 
sensors you have to pull the engine down to replace them.  Still, 
that wouldn't scare me off of one though.
