Default Thinking of buying an S4

Hi there my name is Armindo and i am new to these forums. I had just gotten rid of my evo 8 and am looking into getting something new. I wanted to get a car that was more luxurious than the evo cause i just got sick of the cheap look the interior of the car had. I have always like B5 S4's so i thought that it would probably be a better fit for me considering you can also mod these cars to perform extremely well.

My question comes from reliability however, im not sure if anyone here has owned both cars, an evo 8 and an s4, and could compare the maintenance that comes with the cars. I did all the maintenance and repair myself on the evo but then again the evo was very easy to work on.

I was hoping someone could take a look at this ad that i had found and tell me if this S4 was selling for the right price cause i am going to look at it tomorrow and was wondering what i should look out for when looking at the car.

Thanks in advance. Cant wait to hopefully own an s4 soon

Definitely get the car checked out, and do some research.

These cars seem to be all over the place, I've had little issues with mine in the 5 years I've owned it, but I've seen others spend 3-4k in 1-2 years, so, it will be well worth your time to be very careful in what you end up buying.

says vr6bomber (not true dude)... Anything is reliable if it's maintaind. My S4 has been nothing but reliable.

take care of it, and it'll last you for forever.
