That's what I meant by cosmetic issues...

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.

Listings for the cars are here:  http://toronto.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicles-cars-trucks-2004-Audi-S4-Avant-Quattro-W0QQAdIdZ258079454 and here:  http://toronto.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicles-cars-trucks-2005-Audi-S4-Wagon-W0QQAdIdZ195042186  I have some concerns about some of the cosmetics on the '05, particularly the wheels and seats, which is why I'm leaning towards the '04.

But either way, i'd go with the 05  unless the 04 is strong example and looking like all hwy km...  Not sure on any other difference between 04/05 but think not so many differences. and there are a whole BUNCh of others in the Toronto area (ie: actual mechanic type) that might offer same... lets see who chimes in on this one..hard to resist looking at an S car that's for sure. love the v8 S4's...very nice ride.

>> Hi,
>> I'm looking into buying a used S4 Avant.  There are two for sale in Toronto, so I'm looking into flying there from Winnipeg and then driving one back.  One is a 2004 with 160,000 km, asking $19K and another is a 2005 with 104,000, asking $23K.  Both are manuals, the '04 comes with summers and winters, the summers on RS4 wheels, the winters on the stock wheels.  Anything I should watch out for in particular?  Should I steer clear of the '04, given the mileage?  Any advice would be appreciated.  I'd have about 24 hours of driving over two or three days to get the car back home, so I'd prefer to avoid any issues.
