Default 2000s4 vs 2001 a4

i am contemplating buying a 2.8 fully loaded brand new and then looking to take off the window trim (so it is black like the 1.8t) , adding the s4 bumper and adding new rims, this would be around 38 maybe 39 after all that or closer to 40

i am considering looking for a used 2000s4 instead and spending about 33 or 35 on it - is this a good choice ? a dumb question? does anyone think the 3*haveing 2 yrs left) vs the 4 year (having 4 left cause it would be new) is that big of a deal. i know it goes to 50,000 and i put on about 25,000 per year so i dont think the mileage cap would lastme more than 3 years at most anyway.

thanks for any comments.

Default No contest...S4. (More)

I looked at the A4 for quite a while, then I had my mind set on a TT. This lasted a year or so. I finally ended up with the S4. I wouldn't trade it for any other Audi. Actually there is only a short list of cars total I would trade it for.

Austin Martin DB7
Porsche 550
Lotus Elise
BMW M5

And thats about it. =}

Default get the S4, no comparison in performance between S4 and A4...

unless you heavly modify the A4. since you are putting that many miles on the car, the warranty sooner or later is gonna go bye-bye...SO...GET THE S4!!! =)
