Hi All, Im thinking of picking up a '00 S4, with about 110k miles on it. PO claims new clutch and bunch of other things positive, and the pics look good.. But I have no clue on these cars, mainly cause they dont have 5 cylinders..lol

Any opinions..?

Thanks in advance,

Hal

at 110K miles, you'll likely need one soon if it hasn't already been done.

Couple little things that were improved in later models...but basically the same thing as my A6.

Bah, 119k on originals here...so far.

The rewards when driving it are fantastic. Sucks when things break as nothing is cheap. Mine has been relatively solid, except for the usual wear items (CV boots, brakes, and now control arms)...oh and a blown turbo.

A couple S4 posts worth reading:

I've learned a lot about the car over the past month while rebuilding. I can't wait to have her back on the road this weekend.

A6 2.7Ts usually have a better reliability record than S4s though

Does Tony not being chipped have anything to do with it? Or does that have nothing to do with it?

99% of the A6s I see around are driven mildly...while many/most of the S4s are driven by younger, more spirited peeples.

And running stock, along with proper warm-up/cool-down/maint., will greatly prolong turbo lifespans.

Oh, running stock certainly helps preserve the turbos too
