A4 (B5 Platform) Discussion Discussion forum for the B5 Audi A4 produced from 1995-2001 B5 FAQ

Why is he selling for 12.5k? Seems worth ~20k. A little input would be great...

<img src="http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t287/bm6841/silvera42.jpg">

The car runs like a top and has always been mechanic owned. It has been driven almost daily and has no issues. The car still has all the original motor and driveline, everything else is perfect.

The interior has about 10k miles on it and is flawless. The exterior is a 9.8 out of 10 shape. This is the cleanest looking B5 A4 you will ever come across.

Here are a few pictures. The bottom two are with different wheels. It has CH's on it currently. Test drives available.

Asking 12,500 obo.

My roommate just bought this beast and we are waiting for the tranny to fall out of it when he drives it home or something. Seems way to good to be true. Those are BBS CH 19's. Theyre worth $500 each (the rims in the top pic). Lemme know what you think.

Default any number of reasons..

it's probably not worth A LOT more than that, and he might be ready to move on so it's priced to sell

I'd imagine it being pretty immaculate coming from a GMG employee.

Default DAMN!!!

I have been in contact with that seller to try and buy that car. He said that he had somebody who was probably going to buy it, but he would let me know if it fell through.

I was hoping it would fall through.

Damn.

edit: sorry posted on the wrong level.

Default mods don't add to the market value of the car

if anything, it reduces the number of potential buyers as the average joe might be turned off by a heavily modded car.
