Default Pre S4 purchase question. Maybe Carson can add his 2¢.

I will do everything I can to get a Santorin. If I find a deal that to good to pass up on a non-santorin S4, how much would it be to have it profesionally re-painted so it looks like it came that color from the factory (save for under the hood, I guess)?

Thanks very much.<ul><li><a href="http://denver.craigslist.org/cto/846453899.html">140k though? Yeesh.</a></li></ul>

Default Between $8k-$10k for a really good job.... Remove all glass & trim, no masking marks.....

Blend into dogleg rubbers, paint the inside of the panels etc....

$hitty job will cost you $5k...

This is from experience!

Best,

Ram

Default I think a lot of people probably have trouble selling a Santorin car...so you should be able to find

one w/o issue...

Default do yourself a favor and buy a modded one, I went out of my way to get a non-molested car and regret

it everday. In the end I basically traded low mi for mods. Color was also on the bottom of my list and only slightly regret that fwiw, santorin or blk would have been nice, but silver stays clean so.. whatever

My first A4 was Santorin. I miss it everyday. What a great car. 2.7t would be better.
