I was takin a look at some 00-02 Audi A4's. i saw an 01 a4 1.8t for $8500 with 74k on it. Does anyone know any info on these cars such as problems, recalls etc. i don't wanna get into any trouble after buying this. Please share your info. Thanks!

I wouldn't buy them. Too many little problems, IMO.

Take a look at some more reliable cars.

At that mileage, motherf-in

Nice cars and Audis do last long, but definitely expect spending much more $ in maintenance and running costs. Things could/might break. What about a 5.5g Maxima?

I'd only consider it if you had the service records. If the oil changes werent done frequently then you might end up with oil sludge.

...older cars have so much mileage on them... unless they are Japanese, then its so expensive to fix them when things go wrong... or they just arent worth looking at, at all...

...whats your price range? and what will you absolutely NOT drive?

Price limit is about $9000. prefer imports sedans cuz i'm looking for a car for my mom and thats wat shes interested in. Dont really prefer V6's but i can work with em.

for 9,000, i'm sure you can find a nice accord or camry.

I wouldn't buy an A4....It's going to need "things" with that kind of mileage unless they've already been done....electrical issues, timing belt, control arms, cv boots, etc. I would stick to a camry/accord/maxima.

I wouldn't buy an Audi that old or with that many miles... and this is coming from a guy who owned an A4 and currently owns an A6. Differences is they're newer and under warranty.

If you only want to spend $9k I'd look Japanese so you can at least get a reliable used car...

I'd stay away.

Keep looking. I looked at a couple A4's and 2 of them had the CEL on and one was only at about 30K miles. The only one I test drove felt like crap.

i had a 96 a4 2.8 before my cl-s and while it drove amazingly, it had soo many little problems that were so expensive to fix

if you go european get one with service records

Used Audis are expensive to maintain. Given the modest budget I'd suggest something that is more "appliance-like" and look at a Maxima.

i'd get a early previous generation Accord.
