flatblack94 · March 1st, 2011, 06:43 PM

S14 1995 NISSAN 240SX OBD1 5 SPEED LSD

2000 VW GTI Lots Of Mods

1998 Audi A4 AWD TURBO FMIC CF HOOD

flatblack94 · March 1st, 2011, 06:46 PM

fair enough, any suggestions?

graystang01 · March 1st, 2011, 06:47 PM

I have an A4 and love it.

^How is it as far as maintanence? and reliability? I have heard that they need to be taken care of extremely well or they give you a lot of issue

RDY4WAR · March 1st, 2011, 06:53 PM

None of the above. The reason is because they're all modded. If you're looking for a daily driver that will be reliable, DO NOT buy a modded car. You have no idea what that car has been through but already know that it's probably been abused and driven like it was stolen. Definitely not the best selection for a daily driver. IMO, find a '97-'98 Audi A4 with the 1.8T and AWD that is bone stock and don't mod it. You have AWD you can depend on in bad weather/snow, you have the 4 cylinder getting good mpg, and it still has a little pep to it.

He has had the Audi for like a month so I wouldn't put too much weight on what he says about reliability.

Personally, I don't like any of them. In the $4500 range I would look at something like a Ranger, an Explorer or a Jeep Cherokee.

Redfire is right. I've only had this car for a month so I can't vouch for its reliability. It seems like its been taken care of fairly well. Ride quality is amazing and has decent power, and the gas mileage is amazing.

Because that would be great for gas mileage...

flatblack94 · March 1st, 2011, 08:46 PM

I kind of realized about the whole modded thing for a DD after i thought about it but as of right now I am looking for a Stock a4, GTI or Ranger. Thank you to everyone above for the input so far

This car is 45 min away from you, looks to be in good shape, and is in your price range.

I know this is off topic, but I felt obligated to comment on your signature. Due to the color variations in your banner, I read your name as "GayStang"-- like you were trying to make a statement or something.
