Audi 2003 A4 1.8T Quattro, 161,000 mi, he's asking for $1500
What's your read, Veeky Forums? Good deal? It's gonna be my first car to own, what should I know?
Questions welcome
Got offered a used car today

Buying a 15 year old entry level Audi is a bad idea for obvious reasons.
I hope you have a few thousand stashed away for the repairs you'll be dealing with.
Even regular maintenance is more expensive, you now have transfer/diff fluids to deal with, a turbo that could (will) shit the bed on you, AWD system with myriad moving parts...
Would not recommend OP, if you need it as a reliable DD.

I'd say no as your first car. Get something slow and N/A so you can take a vehicle to its limits without doing 5 illegal things at once

enjoy your $400 alignment jobs, the $1k per wheel when working on the Quatto bullshit, the electrical gremlins and the leaky engine

My first car was a Volvo v70, it had about 170k miles on it, great car.

Im driving the 2.0 NA, non quattro version of it.
Got it with 100K km here in germany.
You are just asking for problems
>quattro
>turbo
The 1.8t is bad on the mpgs and the "power" is not worth it at all.
My a4 gets around 7.3 L/100 km, city stop and go 8.5 L/100 km. The 1.8t is using 8.5 L/100 km average.
So good luck with the fuel costs and the maintenance cost that will hit you.
Also, waterpump will fail and crack soon. Mine did at 160 K km. You will have to remove the front bumper to get to it and the timing belt.

OP here, See that's the thing, right now I don't. I walk to work, but if I need to do anything with a car, it's a clusterfuck with zipcar, namely that I can't go anywhere and actually enjoy it without watching the clock.
This will be a max 70 mile/week car
