If it is as good as you say, it's a steal at $11k. Go for it.

Could this be the same car the dealer was selling with some stolen pics of a Rlister's car.

Sounds like a great deal !!! Go for it. With these cars it is not so much what you pay for it as it is what you get. This one sounds like it should need very little catching up and such low miles can not be reproduced/restored.....

My s4 AUTO needs some work as circumstances had made it a kind of statue in the last few years.
I will be keeping it. I plan to fix it up right. The cost would be around $7K.( including section painting. Damn clear coat.)
I was contemplating on reviving her but it might take over a month. Perhaps next year.
I do love the kickdown at highway speeds for passing.
That is something the manual, cannot give me.

assuming it is as you describe it....BUY IT...100% slam dunk...... Worse case scenario is you can drive-enjoy it for a couple years then sell it for a profit when the economy recovers.....

If its legit....I'll give you $12k right now cash money!

Ah..."I do love the kickdown at highway speeds for passing.
That is something the manual, cannot give me. ..."Which is a good thing because you will have the CHOICE of downshifting to 4 th, 3rd or 2nd to do your passing It can be done quickly with a nice blip of the throttle and into the BEST gear for the speed.

Perhaps I have to learn that. Thankyou Mr. Baily

The PSD does work on the GT but the warning light is on sometimes......needs a good flush.

Good looking S4 Mike......does it run and drive as nice?
