Hi guys,
I’m Peter, figured I’ll post up here. I was actually on the phone with JHM and that’s how i heard about this site
First a bit of an intro about my previous car, 2006 Audi A4 2.0t quattro tiptronic. My first Audi, it went through a few stages in its life. It got totaled in a rear end by a BMW driver exactly a week before waterfest.
You might of seen it at G2G’s, events or wherever else. I put quite a bit of work into that car, maintenance wise and etc. I actually finished doing all the bigger maintenance and some mods, like mounts, FMIC, new intake, BBK, and other goodies two weeks prior to incident in preparation for Waterfest. I was suppose to Auto-x.
Kinda wish the accident never happened as I’m now dealing with back issues =/

Car was deemed totaled which I was glad about because it seems like a lot of stuff got affected, but it also meant I had to find a replacement quick. I drive pretty much every single day to work and school. I live on Long Island and work in Manhattan so train is doable but a pain in the ass considering what I would have to go through and at my current job i have a driveway i can park in so it’s alright.
Accident happened in July of this year and it must of been possibly the worst time of the year to find a decent replacement within a price acceptable price range for me because I seriously couldn’t find much, whether it would be a B7 A4 2.0T again or B7 S4. I looked on ebay, autotrader, craigslist, classfieds on Audizine, EA, and other forums and there wasn’t much available. There actually werent many, if any B7 S4’s for sale.
I told myself I had to get a 6spd but i couldn’t find one in the price range. So I found this CPO 2006 S4 in tiptronic at an Audi dealer in jersey. Priced lower than what was available for similar mileage on Ebay. So i jumped on impulse without thinking it through too much. I was too excited about getting into a car that was a dream car for years. I had some issues along the way with it, more specifically with the dealer, I wanted to sell it or trade it in shortly after but I would of ended up loosing way too much. So I’m staying with it.
And what do you know, 2 months later all these s4’s start popping up for sale. I was pissed but whatever.
Here is two pics of the S4 that I have: Car already looks a bit different than in the pics but i havent had the chance to take some recent pics of it.
I have a RS4 magnaflow 16689 installed.
