Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum. I have been looking at a couple of Audi's for a while and wanted to see what everyone thinks about them. Both have maintenance records and have had major routine maintenance done recently. Let me know your thoughts and suggestions please! I will attach links of the craigslist ads here:

Audi A4 1.8t

Audi A4 1.8t Ultrasport

I've had my '04 for about 2 yrs. It's a 3.0 quattro convertible and has been a reliable car. I can't speak for the 1.8, but it seems to be the more popular engine. As with any used car, due diligence on the maintenance records is important.
Good luck

I own a 1.8T and it's been a year since i've had it and no problems yet!

I also just picked up an 04 A4, I hear valve clatter after a couple months, any suggestions? Burns a little oil...and uneven tire wear as the guy had two sets of tires, between front and rear, didn't even notice...should I just replace w 4 new tires because its quattro?

There is an Audi spec on the total variation between the largest and smallest tire diameters,this to avoid wear on the drive train. I don't know what it is though.

Owners manual state "Max thread difference 3/16 or less."Also highly recommend identical tires.
