TIP also known around these parts as girltronic transmission....Other than that, it looks fantastic! You gotta love that Blue paint with matching interior! You should ask about the Timing Belt or plan on changing it soon.

Service history from car fax looks good too..I say go for it if you don't mind TIP, but you'll learn how to drive stick faster than you think and then you might wish you'd waited.

Ignore the trolls, most have never driven an S4 tip. It's a great car to drive, regardless of transmission. Have you driven an S4 yet? Just asking.
