RS246.com Forum :: The World's #1 Audi R, S and RS Enthusiast Community

Hi Guys,

This will hopefully be my 1st post of many, as i'm in the throws of sellecting my S4. I currently drive a Honda S2000 and am looking forward to a return to silky smooth 6 Cylinder and huge torque rather than a 9000rpm frantic screamer. :29428-red4:

My questions are as follows;
The car i'm interested in is a '99 (T) Silver Avant with 71000 miles up at £14k. My plan is to sell or p/ex my S2000 for £17-£18k and use the excess funds to give the S4 a thorough check-up plus taking out a warranty, chip uprade, suspension change and maybe brakes. Do you think this is a sound idea? Who would you recommend taking the car to for the work? I was thinking AmD or Jabbasport.

I will obviously have the car RAC inspected & HPI checked at purchase and will then immediately take the car in for refreshment work. [img]images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Thanks in advance.
Chris.

p.s. are any of you guys in the Leics./Notts./Derby area who would be prepared to go and take a look at the S4 to give an owners opinion? I would obviously cover your fuel costs plus a pint or 3. [img]images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Hi Biggins and welcome to RS246 [img]images/graemlins/thumbs.gif[/img]
Good luck with your purchase, but if you come unstuck, let me know..... [img]images/graemlins/s4anogaro.gif[/img]

welcome to the forum.
Im a newbie my self, good choice of car though.

I have heard good feed back from AMD, a lot of people on this forum use them. I have chose to go with Oettinger but there are many other tuning companies out there like revo, apr, jabba etc...

good luck [img]images/graemlins/thumbs.gif[/img]

Thanks guys.

The Car is in Uttoxeter and I will be viewing sometime during the week. I just need that re-assurance that my budget is large enough for an overhaul of tired components, warranty and maybe chip. Don't want to get [img]images/graemlins/FIREdevil.gif[/img] fingers on this deal.

Welcome to the forum Biggins,

Your doing the right thing by getting an RAC/AA inspection, it costs a little more for a 4x4 but well worth it.

I can vouch for AMD they certainly know their stuff when it comes to S4's they done enough of them now. Can be a bit pricey but they're a good bumch of lads n lasses.
