[s-cars] What to look for in a used B5 S4

[James Shackelford]

For the drive related issues....  I am currently in a 03 Jetta TDI, while I
love the 40+ MPG.... I hate the seats, the FWD (Colorado), and the size.  I
am 6'4", and my friend has a 99 B5 V6 A4.  I know the chassis is supposed to
be similar in size, but it sure feels bigger when I sit in it.  I have
thought about getting another UrS.... I just want something a little newer.

Mechanically, I am not too worried about minor issues.  I have done the TB
on 2 UrS cars and once on my TDI.  I have replaced engines and transmissions
in other cars as well, so a little mechanical work is not the problem.  Oh,
and I would never buy an Audi Automatic (unless of course it was an S8, or
perhaps the newer S6).

The real reason I have the 95 UrS6..... Well, besides for me to drive
occasionally.  Is when I sold my 93 UrS4, my wife wanted an Audi wagon, and
insisted on a manual (w00h00), and the only Audi wagon with a stick besides
an Allroad was the 95 S6 Avant.  Too bad for me :-)

Thanks again for any input.

James

My wife drives our 95 S6 Avant.  I am looking in to getting a B5 S4.
Anything particular to look for?

 

Thanks,
