Default Brought her home.

Shes a 2000 T/A A4 with almost 90k miles on her. Pretty much clean interior, exterior, and engine bay. Some normal wear and tear here and there. But none the less. I had one hell of a ride home. But it has a WS6 emblem, WS6 cap covers, and the ram air/handling package. I dont think its a real WS6 since I couldnt find it on the RPO. Also sorry that the pictures are blurry, shitty camera phone.

If your car is a WS6 the bottom part of your lid should be raised up about an inch and the top part should have ram air written on it.

What he said. From the under hood pics it is easy to tell it is not a WS6. The dealer or whoever sold it to them was probably just trying to pass it off as a WS6. Looks good though and you still got a good deal on it.

But they did say it had the Ram Air handling package which it probably does not, right? The WS6's handling package had specific tuned suspension - upgraded sway bar, springs and shocks I think. Not a big deal in any event, just letting you know. Plus it might have aftermarket suspension parts on it anyway.

WS6 or Not, that's a sweet looking T/A. Take that K&N Filter out though, it's just gonna dirty your MAF & Throttle Body plate. I recently Seafoamed my car, and damn when i took off the Bellow to the TB, the plate was oily as hell. Now ive got a Purolator Air Filter from Advanced Auto.

It does have the raised air lid. I was planning on changing out the air filter. But first I wanna seafoam it. Which will happen within the next week or so.

Wow gorgeous car, cant believe it has 90K miles on it as it looks like it is in pristine condition! BTW what kind of exhaust is on there as it doesnt look like the stocker?
