Glad your daughter wasn't in the car, accidents are bad enough but when kids are in the car it takes it to another level. Glad to hear both you and your wife are ok.. Congrats on the new Audi, in for pics..
Wanted another grocery getter with some oomph within a set budget with no payments. Started looking into B5's Avants, but sellers are entirely over pricing them... long story short - and I do mean long, ended up locking up a deal for a sedan in TX. Plan on flying into Dallas next week and making the 19hr trek back home in this thing :
You mean you'll ATTEMPT to make the 19hr trek back home in that car.
Just kidding (I hope) congrats on the new pickup. Tyler T's S4 is really fucking fast and a ton of fun, this should be no different!
So... I don't where to start as it's been quite the ride trying to close a deal on this particular car (B5 S4)... you guys wouldn't believe half the shit that's gone down if I told you.
In the meantime; as of yesterday at 3:02pm est to be exact, my newest family is on her 8 day journey home from California.
'01.5 B5 S4 w/ MTM Stage 2 tune
- Original owner
- No accidents
- All - and I do mean ALL service records of work ever completed, original window sticker, manuals, brochures / magazines, and the list goes on... that dude kept everything!
The previous owner (81 yrs old) was a true enthusiast. He recently passed and his son / wife are now dealing with his affairs... they were really cool throughout the whole process. I assured them that the car will be well cared for.
From the pictures sent, the car in MINT condition for it's age; showing no real sign of wear as it's been well kept.
Any who, that's the short version of the story. I'll share the longer edit at a later date.
Tyler, J, and the rest of the GroupMe crew, thank you guys for helping out! :gheyhug:
The seller for that car backed out of the deal... one of many deals that didn't fall through.
This car is from California... as fun of a trip that would be, between the wife & munchkin, didn't make sense disappearing for a couple of days lol... so, it's being shipped here; currently on route.

If I may make a recommendation, although you probably already know.
Please take your time inspecting the vehicle for damage before you sign off on the transport company.
Not sure you know, but the V came with roof damage caused by poor loading...they had it up top, last of the day, had me sign and scooted before I could really look her over.
They claimed I signed off and took no liability...luckily, the parent company that sub'd them coughed up the money to fix. Seller does a lot of business with them.
I literally decided if I ever buy sight unseen again, I'll set up a lawn chair in the grass near the drop off until I'm done. I'll even have little Coronitas waiting for the driver.
Finally got a chance to head to the shop today.... and NO CODES!
Couple things to address though:
1) Passenger side ballast needs replacing, light is out; quick fix
2) Airbag light came on... I pushed the seat too far back and undid the cable; quick fix.
3) Hearing a slight knock when turning / taking speed bumps at a turn... we drove in circles trying to replicate the sound, we were successful. The UCAs & axles were recently changed, the LCA were not... not sure why, but, on the list for quick fix.
Aside from that, she's as clean as they come for being so old!
The cars pulls pretty hard; I'll upload vids later.
A stock looking engine bay is always a good sign with these cars, you picked up yourself one that hasn't been molested - that's for sure
Congrats again! Downpipes / exhaust ASAP, you Floridans don't do that smog thing ... pretty sure 20-30whp is being restricted on a Stage II tune with the stock exhaust.
