About to buy S4
Posted: Sat Apr 08, 2006 5:39 pm
Hi everyone, been lurking on here over the past few weeks, doing my research
thought i'd register and say hi
Went to look at an S4 Avant today at a local garage. Its an S reg 1998, leather and alcantara trim, done 94,000 miles with half of that serviced at audi dealers and the rest at place I'm getting it (non audi, but well respected independant dealer) and priced at 7950.
Seemed to be okay to me, going back tomorrow for test drive.
Things that i noticed were one sidelight bulb not working, couldn't get the headlight washers to pop up and the radio wasn't working at all. The garage said all faults would be sorted before sale.
Did i read here somewhere that non working radio was a big problem?
And whats the options for transplanting my alpine tv head unit into there? Its obviously not a straight swap.
Part exing my Sti2 Scoob for it.
