Default You should get a 2001.5 or 2002 if possible. Otherwise, just be aware that it has two
turbos so don't expect Acura/Lexus reliability. My Stage 2 S4 Tip has been solid. If you chip, upgrade the TBB and DVs and be aware of the tranny limitation (no easy stage 3 upgrade w/ tip). If you STFA, you will find lots of good info.

2000 has no ESP. That's the biggest difference between that and 2001+.

Default If you are planning stage III, expect to pay a lot more
IF you want cheap Stage III go stick.
