Anyone own one? I'm thinking of picking one up from the USA. See a couple of good deals (~25000k CAD).

I've heard audi's have horrible electric problems and I don't want to be stuck with a lemon.

Sounds right but what's the upgrades on the B7 over the B6 S4s?

I always thought it was just a minor facelift, but i'm sure someone on RS can educate me on this area.

My dad owns a 2007 S4 as a daily driver, and so far there hasn't been any problems.

As far as i know there isn't much difference between the B6 and B7. They share the same 4.2L V8, but the B7 has a 40:60 torque split along with minor mechanical tweaks, new springs etc.

At 25 000 that sounds like a good deal.

Yup 25,000 is definitely a good price, as long as theres no frame damage.
I thought the B7 has 30:70 split, i dunno i'm no Audi fanboy. I still like the B6 styling though hasn't gotten old on me yet.

Just beware of the horrible gas mileage, I can't afford it :(
something like 16L/100km? but well for 25,000 i guess it balances out

I would get an older one but I like the facelifted one. The front end looks a little more aggresive and I like the spoiler in the rear.

I'm not worried about gas mileage If I pay it with cash.

I like the more germany block-ish front end of the B6,

gas mileage isn't a big deal, lots of dailys get around 12L anyways, a 4-5 L increase/ 100km will cost probably less than 1000 more a year, so it ain't too bad a tradeoff

That's a sick price! My friend has one and it's been problem free except for the check engine light going on due to his aftermarket downpipes.

I'm going to wait till the fiesta comes first, but I'm sure there will be other deals like this by autumn. And I'm not to to worried. I have lots of cash in USD laying around from some work I did there last year.

It's kinda of a hard prediciment right now. Because the fiesta would be great on fuel and I could siphon my money to other causes.

But I can't ignore 340 hp. I remember when I had my bro's old 01 cobra for a bit. So much fun.

^seems hard to live with as a daily, but Audi's 4.2 has so many excellent exhausts to choose from!!!
