I guess the only problem I really had with my M6 was the clutch pedal going to the floor so the slave only when running it hard.

It was stock clutch and hydruaulics with over 100K and about 20 track passes with full bolts ons.

If you had an M6 you will be pissed after your "I got a new car" honeymoon period wears off. As far as the slave make sure you have good clean fluid in there. When I changed mine last year I don't even know what kind of s*** was coming out of mine. Guess its a good thing I did it. Oh and the gold color is sweet! I have only ever seen one in person.. NICE... I think it is like the SOM color. Love hate kinda thing. Which I like SOM too.

What exactly are all these issues with the A4 you guys are referring to?

And SGM is definitely sick, I almost got one but the deal fell through...that was years ago now.

Okay well I talked to the people they are the 3rd owner bought the car with 90k put new tires and brakes on it recently only thing it needs is A/C recharged.

Only thing its kind of sketch is I asked him to find the RPO code for the rear end and he said there is no sticker on the door jam so I am kind of thinking its a repaint or possible accident. Althought I dont really feel like blowing 30 bucks on a carfax.

Heres the VIN if anybody can run one and find out the RPO codes. 2G2FV22G9W2207922

Hey I'm a dealer, and ran the carfax for ya. It shows 4 owners, no accidents. However it does have an inconsistent odometer reading. Hope that helps...

Well I bought and wow the color is amazing! Never seen anything like it before. The only thing it needs is a oil pressure sending unit the gauge bounces all over the place. The motor is very strong I punch it from a dead stop and it just sits a spins until I let off.
Its 100% stock. Although I think the gears may have been swapped my speedo is 10 MPH faster at 70MPH im doin 2200RPM its suppose to have 2.73s.
