Looking for a an Audi A4 around 5K
Hello Guys I have a 2001 A4 but now my friend wants to get an Audi too.
He can afford only around 5K, which seems to be not a lot of money but
he does not mind a Fwd insead of a Quattro, no leather inerior, No CD
is fine too. Most important we thought was the mileage and condition.
If he could get one under 100K miles would be good enough. Any
suggestions apart from local news paper, cars.com and autotrader.com??
Please let me know.
Thanks.

There's loads of A4s and A6s available for that kind of money - or do
what I do and buy a Passat, which effectively gets you an A6 for half
the price.

No flames here, Steve - that's about right. A6 chassis, A4 guts and
bits, VW emblem on the grille. FWD, relatively inexpensive (I guess if
you convert USD to UKP, the price is about right.)
Doesn't have four rings, but it does provide just about the same
experience as a FWD A6. (I say this having driven a Passat and an AWD
A6.)
E.P.
P.S. You got that right about Alfas - owned a '72 GTV when I was young
and full of time and money to fix cars. That car was a blast, and
didn't really take that much cash or time in repairs. I wish I hadn't
sold that car for the princely sum of $250.

Just visiting from Saab world, and curious if the A4 shares with the
smaller VW (GOlf?) in the same way?
