Subject: RE: Purchase question for used Audi for me

[Tom Winter]

Fay ­ I just saw your budget. An S car is probably out unless you find an
early 90¹s S4 sedan. The best ones (with tasteful upgrades already done)
will be a bit more than you want to pay, starting at around $6k or more for
solid examples. You can go cheaper, but best to find one well sorted. Still,
I¹d look. You might get lucky!
