Looks to be a super clean Moro Blue '05 S4 with blue alcantara interior and just about every JHM NA mod on it. I added up his mod list and it’s in the range of $13-15k.
That car is worth $17k without any of the parts. Sure wish I was closer to MN and had barn/garage with some space in it.
A b6 worth $17,000 stock?
You sure
He’s missing a bunch of JHM NA mods 
LWCP, Stage 3/4 clutch, LWFW , intake spacers, and probably more I can’t think of right now.
Plus he’s missing all sorts of mounts, adjustable upper control arms, etc.
Tsk tsk
With a few of the cosmetic mods and some good pictures, sure. He’ll get close to that.
I guess I should have said NA power adding mods. He’s got a great suspension and brakes too. And I’m sure he’s got the spacers if he has the manifold.
Either way, that’s a well sorted out car at that price.
oh yeah, krunkman. Wonder what he replaced it with?
His mods, that you could part out and sell (if he/you have the stock stuff)

$??? what are they? - Practically new 19in s4 rims with Nitto Invos (not in picture)
$800 - premium for swapping Nogaro seats out for some black ones.
$8060 + the wheels but a bunch of work to get the parts off.
I think the car might sell for $12-14,000 stock
So I don’t see the deal there…but maybe I’m out of touch with the market for B6 S4s with 85,000 miles. I do know that you can buy an RS4 with 85,000 miles…that is a 2007…for about $30,000. So I don’t see this 2005 car stock getting $17,000. If that was true, I think a lot more people would be selling B6 S4s and buying RS4s. When the premium is only $10,000 to $15,000…that’s extremely compelling. When it is $20,000 it’s more difficult to justify
It is tempting for a guy like me but I don’t have the time to swap everything and then deal with annoying fucking buyers…plus my wife would shit our baby out if I bought it!
Some of your pricing is off.
Brembo GT kit retails for over $4k. You could probably sell it used for about $2500. +$750
KW V3’s are about $2k new. Used with 5k miles you could get $1500 + $700
Hotchkis F&R sways ~around $450 new I believe. Seem them sell used for over $300 + $200
V1 - the detector itself is $400 - used $300 +300
RS4 pedals, shifter & brake - probably about $500 new. Bet you could get $300 used for all 3 + $100
That’s about $2k more in parts.
I watch the market pretty well. If the car is really clean, he could get alot more than $12k for it. Joe had a really clean B6 that he sold not too long ago. Anyone remember what he got for it?
I don’t think you’re getting $2500 for used Brembos. A friend bought some for $1300 (good deal admittedly). When the rotors and pads are 50% life left, I can’t see you getting anywhere near $2500. (Oh…if you need a better deal on Brembo GT kits, let me know…because $4000 is a terrible deal)
Here’s a 4 piston set set for $1500…incomplete…and people are yelling at him for asking $1500 lol http://www.audizine.com/classifieds/showproduct.php?product=82897.
Used coilovers…same thing. First off I think $2000 is a bad deal on those KWs isn’t it? Aren’t they more attainable for $1700-1800? And used Coilovers…I can’t see you getting anywhere near 90% of retail for them. Think half. That’s why I put $800. Suspension doesn’t hold value. For example HR springs for our cars are like $450 new. Used? http://audirevolution.net/forum/index.php?topic=1496.0
The V1 is worthless on a part out. It’s hardwired into the car, so unless you want to un-hardwire it, and have a bunch of unfinished holes, it’s staying on the car. Not parting out. I guess you could always buy a new ashtray or whatever you punctured to hardwire it and make it stealth, but that’s destroying your value equation of the part out.
The RS4 pedals sell for $100 (they’re $180 new). I sold some for $100 and it was giving a friend a deal. The shiter and handle are not that valuable. Again, retail from alex @ eurorprise or something doesn’t really tell the tale of used market. I bought and turned down a used RS4 handbrake lever for $45 because I changed my mind. You can get them new for $90. If someone is paying $500 for Rs4 knob, pedals and ebrake handle, they aren’t very good shoppers. That’s $350 max brand new. Used it’s worth half that.
You most certainly aren’t going to buy a car hoping to replicate the highest used price ever paid.
I couldn’t find the V3s for less than $2000 myself but you’re right about suspension components not holding their value. They get dirty and take a beating and people are pretty wary of buying used suspension components.
Thanks for that

It’s funny how your performance parts are spread out over the forums after you part out
my exhaust almost went to the guy in Boston who complains about his JHM tune throttle every 3 weeks
my pedals are on your car
my piggies are on bangoman’s car
That’s nothing too. Imagine if you sold all your parts? Half of Audizine would be rocking your old gear.
^^ Yeah, lol.
JHM Piggies are all core exchanges so everyone who did the core (didnt send in theirs for modification) is rocking someone else OEM Downpipes!
One big happy family =P
He is asking 22 for it now. Did he want 17 before. That is a solid mods list I think 15 would bave been a great deal. 22 is a bit on the high side. It will be interesting to see if he gets it. He got a bmw 335 power wose the b6 with that list of mods would be better thdn the 335. The bmw 335 cars are too tempermentile for me. By buddies bmw alwats seems to be broken
Fuck, imagine the amount of labour it would be go to back to stock for me? lol I still have every stock component (even my stock catback, cut up into thirds) except for the stock manifold (did a core exchange for that one). Good thing I intend to keep the car until it’s on its last legs
(And if I get the engine and tranny rebuilt, that could be for a long while).
