Sounds like the perfect daily driver for me.

Looking at getting a short term loan for about $2500, i have about half of the cars price now

Well, I got it to pass inspection without even having to do the injectors. My mechanic said he just had to call the registry and explain something to them, so it's all done until I come across a set of injectors.

 

can you snap some shots around the car, and some interior shots possibly?

 

Sure, no problem. It's filthy on the outside right now, we just had snow, but the interior is still nice.

 

Bump... I took care of the injectors and it has brand new summer tires.

 

^ what ever happened to the pictures?!?!

 

If it ever stopped snowing here, I could get some.

 

^ i was just teasing i got over two feet here!!!

 

Well, it's going back to the mechanic on Saturday... Needs a thermostat and a new blower motor for the A/C... After that, it will be perfect, LOL

 

car looks gorgeous Excellent vehicle to VIP mod

 

Bump for a great guy selling a good car. Wish I would have went with this car instead of my Jetta.

 

You need a bigger car for one kid? Keep the damn thing.

 

If you can swing it, just have him replace the timing belt and water pump and all the rollers and tensioner as the correct way is to replace the thermostat is to remove the timing belt, however, you can "flat rate" it and get it out without having to remove the timing belt. Why are you replacing it anyway, do you have no heat, or is it overheating? The water pumps on these cars go bad as well, the impellar on the shaft breaks and the shaft just spins, but the impellar doesnt, that and the radiators start to clog on the higher milage audi's due to the "lifetime" fill interval from audi...which is retarded, same with their tranny fluids...etc...the 2 valve 2.8L like you have are also known for leaking oil from the head gaskets and EGR port clogging. Anyway, good luck,lookslike a nice car exterior wise.

Less for cash?

 

$5000 flat i mean

 

Dude, you're in Australia, I'm in Rhode Island.

Price drop, $4600 cash. I think the rear wheel bearing is going bad, and my mechanic told me he doesn't ever want to see it again, LOL. It has a valid RI inspection sticker through Feb 2009 now. Check engine light came back on, it needs a thermostat. So, thermostat and wheel bearing, it's good to go. I'm not putting any more money into it, though. I took care of the A/C blower motor, that was $400.

 

It's not warming all the way up. My mechanic just did the whole water pump, timing belt, rollers, etc, about a year ago, so that doesn't need to be done now.

 

Gotcha, if the gauge is not going all the way to normal, then the engine coolant temp sensor should be replaced...we usually do those at the same time as the t-stats because they are usually bad at that time anyway or starting to go bad.
but yes, sounds like a t-stat stuck open. Good luck with it.

 

The engine coolant temp sensor has already been replaced, about 3 months ago. Like I said, this car has had everything taken care of that it's needed... You're an Audi guy, I'm sure you can figure out what this has cost me.

 

Yup, I can def. relate with you about the cost

 

OK, the Audi needs to seriously be sold, I got a 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP now for a DD.

Check engine light is fixed, the car is as perfect as I can get it.

The power steering rack failed, so I just bought a new one and had it installed.

$4300 cash.
