04 S4 thinking of buying.
 

I am thinking of trading my 02 A4 in for an 04 S4. What do I need to know about getting an S4?

I'm wondering specifically about problems with certian model years?
Common problems with the 4.2 V8?
Expenseive maintenance?
anything else I should know?

I previously owned a Porsche and have a 350Z now so expensive for me is relative. I wouldn't wanna pay $4000 for a Ferrari timing belt job like my buddy just did, but I don't expect it to be done for $400 on a car like an S4 either. I'm not wealthy but have some money to fix them if something happens.

Regards,

Yeah I was thinking but this forum is so slow that nobody replied before I pulled the trigger. Oh well, I am happy with it.
