Yeah- It's not the $20,000 S4 everyone keeps talking about that's for sure. I still think it's a good car for the money...I had him start it up and it sounds a little rough... He said the heads were just redone, and the belt too...
I think he wants to check all the fluids before we test ride...He said to stop around on Sat. afternoon and go for a ride. At this point, after hearing it run (exhaust leak and some tap).... I would say it's a $5000 car, would be nice start for that price... I'll post an update after I drive it on Sat.

I would say the car is in need of TLC, and some mileage put on...From what I see, the exhaust leak is the only thing that bother me, because it seems to be coming from the upper flange (like someone never replaced the crush rings)

I totally agree. Did he do the work himself? When did he do the heads and timing belt?..... 10 years ago (judging by the dust everywhere)? LOL I kid I kid...

Yeah, it's been sitting for at least a year or two...You can see fresh sealant. I said it earlier, he has another 928 that he drives. This was the spare car for a rainy day, I guess. Dude has more than a few toys, so it sat there. This guy knows cars, and doesn't have junk. I would trust that he stands behind his word when he says the car is good, and he will have the exhaust leak corrected on Sat.

I just can't get over the auto... I need a 5 speed or it's not interesting to me. If anyone knows where there is a 5sp s4 for this money let me know...I saw one in Boston two years ago for $7500, should have bought it!

LOL... That's like saying that a Junkie knows where to go to score a bag of heroin.
I'm a car addict. I only wish I had more space, and more cash. I would do this for a living!
Also,
I am attempting to sell this car on behalf of the owner, and I will facilitate the answering of any and all questions. If you want to buy the car, I'm the guy doing the talking. How can I possibly listen to conversations aimed at steering me to some foregone conclusion about this one? I JUST made this posting, and I JUST started to get the full picture on the car and it's condition; not to mention several interested parties with different outlooks and opinions, and different $ offers coming my way?! Lets not be rushing here, I'm going to drive the car tomorrow, and the exhaust leak should be repaired, and fresh oil too. I'll report what I see, and we'll go from there. I've been totally objective so far, in both my reporting on the car, and my dealings with prospective buyers. I appreciate common courtesy in comunication. No place for RUDENESS in my world.
