    Possibly looking at buying an S4, approx year 2000 ish. How many miles can these babies do, there are a couple ive seen with 100k + mileage which on a normal audi i would not be worried about due to previous experience of high milers, but as these a bit more tuned than the average can the 2.7 twin turbo handle it??

    Cheers.

    When i was looking for mine, i saw quite a few with 150k+, which kind of reassured me. With S4s the main things to look for are full service history, check the turbos, and the abs unit, as well as leaks round the diff and gearbox. Also like the rest of the A4s of that age the front multi link suspension arms are a weak spot.

    I bought mine with 70k on the clock, and although the cambelt wasnt due, i had it done anyway, it gives me more confidence in the car. Also i replaced the discs and pads with uprated black diamond items. I think with a car like the S4 you always have to be prepared to 'put your hand in your pocket'. But it definitely rewards you.

    The main thing really is to do your homework, take your time looking, and dont automatically go for the cheapest one available. Its easy (too easy)to spend two or three thousand getting one up to spec.

    Mike.
