Feeling it out

B5 S4/ RS4
#1

Just wanna stop by and see whats going on here at AR. Tired of reading politics on other sites. Hope I can bring something to the table.

I have a 2001.5 BB S4 which is pretty much absolutely stock. Bought it from my friend for $3500 and it needed some maintenance. Just did timing belt/wp/ snub mount. Bought SSAC resonated DPs (not installed) and working on a deal for a used APR 3in exhaust.

I have been a dsm’er for years and finally grew up some…or at least I think so. The S4 was a good compromise between family car and sports car.

Nice to see a site thats not soooooo…well you know…

welcome and i agree, the fact you see me and saki as well as other posting side by side shows how non political this site is. Digging it!

thanks god… lol

Holy shit $3.5k for a B5 S4. That’s a deal. Did it need a whole new engine/drivetrain or something?! No politics, no sponsors. Out of interest, how did you find out about AR?

It is a nice change of pace on AR.

Thanks for the welcome.

Yeah the $3500 was a “best friend” discount. Once in a lifetime opportunity to grab this car from my friend. The car needed about 1k in maintenance but it runs absolutely awesome. “Gretel” is the name of the car…per my best friends guidance LOL. So Gretel is slowly getting great part as I get the chance.

BTW, I found out about AR via a Google search and through some threads on AZ.

I am also a member on S4forum.com which is similar to AR here but just for S4 platforms. Not too much going on there but still a decent place with good people.

AR is a great site. I love the fact that no advertisers allow the real progressive users to be able to post and to not get you yelled at for advertising a great idea.

3500$ with 4500$ needed in maitnece?
Seems most b5s have turned into maitence whores

Still you know whats great. For the money its a great lux hot rod. It seems that now the industry is so old the most of the money grabbing companys that have no real interest in the enthusast side have left. Now you have a invirement that consists of the true inthusasts

$4500…not really needing that much maintenance, but still does need some love.

So far its a great car and I love it
