I'm thinking of moving away from my 1997 GTI VR6 into the world of Audi. Specifically a B5 A4 1.8T quattro with stick shift.

I'm thinking of a 2000 or 2001, but I'm open to suggestions that will sway me one way or another. What dangers do I need to look out for when I'm looking at used cars?

Additionally, what can I expect to pay? A local dealer had a 2000 A4 1.8T quattro with stick shift, silver, 29k miles, leatherette, aftermarket tail lights and H&R coilovers. Was asking $22,000. This seemed like a lot for this car.. am I wrong?

Advice people, I need advice! Help make my Audi purchase a succesful one.

because it was the last model year that used a non- Drive By Wire throttle....meaning that the throttle was controlled by a physical cable rather than electronically (which they began in the 2000 model).

The non-DBW throttle is more responsive, has a better, more agressive feel than the DBW models.

I heard 98.5 was the best for an A4....... cuz it's mine....

Not looking for that old of a car. Need something newer, I don't mind DBW
