Question This A Good Deal???

alright... just kind of wondering who thinks this is a good deal or not... what my dream car is is a ws6 black on black a4... but.... this could do.. i know most would say no because of milage... but i have a 99 ls1 engine 30,000miles out of a ta that i can swap... so that is not a big problem... this car is a 98 with 175,000 miles has black leather chrome stock rims.. a4... was asking 8500 and i asked him what bottom dollar was.. he said he would let it go for 5,500 cash... car has been sitting for a while... asked if any problems he said no.. thanks a lot in advance..

I'd check the car over well and if all is good 5,500 is a good deal. Yeah it may have 175k on the clock, but if the car was pretty well kept buy it, dump the new motor in and do any mods you want and go. Just remember a car with a 175k miles is a car with 175k miles and normal things will break and wear over trime due to the wear and tear of those miles.

Just my 2 cents
