2004 S4 Avant

[Hayes Myers]

Let me know once you've got some feedback from the sellers...and then i can
get out to look for sure.   The 05 looks ghetto with the VW rims in the
ad... the 04 looks snazzy with OEM RS4 rims too? it's a better deal
probably... 160k isnot a lot...but you are looking at service issues ...same
for either car really though.

cheers
