I think this guy has no idea what he has. Either somebody stole s5 lights from it and put on AE lights.. or something.. or un-AE'd it.. and made it n/a?? Hm..

Do the S4s have the large-louvered heater vents like that? I've owned two S5s now and they both had the small louvered heater vents.

Looks like a cross-breed to me. A nice and CLEAN cross-breed...

Wow, S4 Tails and shift ****. I actually like my S4 **** better. Who knows, maybe it needed a new transmission and they put in an S4 tranny. Actually, now that I think about it, an S4 shift **** and S4 tails make the car an S4, disregarding the fact that it has an S5 engine, side moldings, front lip, and S5 tach...

He also traded out the dash for a s5 turbo or automatic dash with the 8k redline. The other 4 gagues to the left were round, so it's not an s4 dash. I would stay away from that car, being that it looks like sombody just found a bunch of parts cars and made one conglomeraion with no true documentation of mileage on a single part of the car.

I say find another one, that looks like it was beat to hell and back with an idiot behind the wheel and a fool in the body shop. Looks like pure unadulterated crap slapped together to make an Ebay-worthy car, and thats about it.

S5 body, S5 intake possibly engine, S4 transmission, S4 door panels and S4 taillights. I have no clue as to the vents. They look like somthing rigged from a junkyard car. I think this car is a S5 GTU with all of the above listed parts and S4 wheels.
