Price advice needed : )
Hi All!
I'm hoping to get some input and advice on making an offer on a car I'm considering. There may be some discrepancy as to
what the car is worth as far as the bank/NADA/KBB says and what the seller is asking, so I am trying to make a fair and educated offer.
The car in question is a 2007 S4 Avant, 6-spd. 104K miles, overall good shape. Not outstanding, but good.
Service records are pretty complete, clean title, but it's had at least 4 owners. It has had the 105K service, but no work/updates
as far as the timing chain tensioners.
It drives well, no obvious clutch issues.
I know it's somewhat of a unicorn, but I need to keep it realistic. Let me know what you party people think! I may be joining your ranks
(with dual citizenship in the land of B5 S4).
Cheers!

Good luck (if you haven't already purchased it)!

from my personal experience, if it hasn't had the timing chain service done to it, i would personally offer 1500-2500 less than the median value as given from the sites you listed (the cost of a JHM intermediate kit) plus whatever you think it will cost to install it. This one might have a newer/upgraded guide design, but that doesn't mean they aren't failure proof. It's not really a matter of IF you will need to do this...it's more a matter of WHEN it will need to be done. Then again, this is just my .02 I currently own a 2005.5 and am getting ready to do the service at 94k miles. local indy shop wants 4800. At the very least, keep that in the back of your mind.
