evening all im looking to get either a B5 RS4 avant or a B6 S4 avant. i appreciated the differences in engies and although id love the rs4 im fearful of major bills... obviously i know any car can have its failures but in general with FSH is a 100k mile B5 RS4 generally ok? i hear ridiculous prices ...
