    Bought a new car...

    I recently bought a 1998 Audi A4 Quattro 1.8T for $1500. Took it in as a trade. 1 owner and flawless. Didnt want to drive the GT alot so got this to go the 7 mile trek to work. What do you guys think? Gets me 31 mpg so far with an awd

    You got to have a good backup car when you own a 3s.

    Ya, definitly scored. Funny thing, the guy traded it in for out Audi TT vert, and his car was full off weed seeds. Smelled like it too. lol. He was baked out of his mind. Old guy too, probably around mid to upper 50's. I had the car completely detailed and looks (and smells) brand new. Pretty happy. The wife's Mercedes was totaled out last month so, she got the Tahoe and I now have the audi. Now I dont have to drive the GT much (thank god!)

    Paul, get the 19T's back monday and then I will get em in and wire up the turbo timer and the breather mod

    Sell it before it breaks!!!! I wouldn't call an Audi a reliable backup car LOL

    If it's an auto, make sure the trans computer isn't getting wet. Water likes to leak in around the cabin air filter area.
