Is it just me or will EVERY used 6speed be modded (or previously modded) in another couple years?

Seems like people are going to have to buy Tips and convert them if they want a "virgin" S4

I was wondering this last night. What % of these cars are now modified?

True. I guess looking on ebay at S4s, WRXs, makes me think that they have ALL been modded

Default Exactly...for every 1 Modded S4 I see at least 4 that aren't around town.

And alot of women drive S4's...at least around here I've seen at least 3 women with Kids in the back driving them.

Default When the S4 first came out, that was true...

over time though...these cars are falling into the hands of enthusiasts...a good number of whom will find their way onto this site. Of the remaining B5 S4's out there, I would bet a much larger percentage of them are on AW vs. other models from Audi.

Now obviously not everybody posts...but I have met people that know of these place and come for info without posting.

Default It's hard to find an original S4/S6 20vT that has not been at least chipped, let alone lowered, etc.

When your B5's come down in value more, people will see the capable chassis, engine and transmission and grab them up to mod out. I will be one of them, hopefully with an Avant.
