thanks for all your opinions.Like I said I have been looking for the last couple years and have seen this go for easily 12-13K with miles.I put down half,until i can get the rest.As soon as my 401k check comes I will post some new pics at home.

I would def buy it! I like automatics as well as manuals....but to the guy that says which one is more fun is a matter of opinion. I dont think I agree.

I like my A4, I don't care what anybody says. Especially if you commute to work every day. Chances are your rear will last longer too

Hey all,
Well I went and picked up my SOM WS6 tonight,and its adjusting to it's new home (garage).The engine and tranny run smooth but there are a few-hopefully minor issues.Thanks for the opinions and it feels good to be back in a ws6.

Why can't M6 guys just say "GREAT CAR!"" " BUY IT" but without the "Oh, i'd buy it but then I saw it was an A4".....

x100 when I had my '01 A4 Formula I would walk ALL OVER similarly modded M6 LS1's at the 1/8 mile....now roll races on the street were a whole diff story, but still the A4 was just as fun as the M6

You shouldn't have any problem fixing those "minor issues" with the wealth of technical information on this forum. You got a steal on that car and I'm sure you'll enjoy it

Great deal... I say get it, stall it, and pound on some of these M6 guys...

Let's not even go there with the A4 M6 debate... That could take all day...

I prefer the stalled A4 and i have had both...

Light to light, drag strip, similar mod's.. i'll rape the M6 everytime... All of the M6 guys are "From a roll" Let's go from a roll"....

Like the M6, the 4L60E can be upgraded..i.e level4...Rossler,FLP,RPM...

Oh, and in terms of gas mileage... You definately got us there...! However, i took my stalled A4 on a long road trip Dallas to wisconson & avg'd 24 mpg and drove 325 miles on a tank of fuel...

Back to the post... Buy the car... or tell me where it's at...

Yeah. Some of us couldn't get our hands on an M6, no matter how hard we tried to find one in our price range, and the A4 is not that damn bad.
