Default Chip or no chip'??

I am getting a used a4(99,00). I was wondering whether I should get a car that has not been chipped, or just get a chipped one? I was afraid taht if it was chipped then there would be problem with the car. And does car with chip means no more warranty??

Default I would not buy a modded car..

There is a higher probability that a modded car has been abused. Get a stock car that was taken care of and chip it yourself. A chip does not necessarily mean no warranty. It depends on the situation. Failure caused by the chip would generally not be covered.

Default Re: Reputable Chip OK

So are you saying that chip by GIAC or APR or maybe MTM would not hurt the car??
