Q: Any chance of finding a Audi S4 wagon w/the 3rd row seating available? I'm looking for something 1999-2003
No other option matters, I must have seating for my kids! Or is there another Twin Turbo Audi that has 3rd row?
A: Go for the allroad if you want the third row...
Q: please can anybody tell me where i can get a Votex body kit for a 2003 b6 s4. Preferably in the southwest!?
apparently they are available from Audi dealerships but are therefore pretty expensive. Is there anywhere else i might be able to get one from?
A: I would suggest you to go to ecstuning.com.
If they don't have it there, I think your best chance will be to go to
Audiforums.com
Audizine.com
fourtitude.com
Go to their forums and make a post in the regional sections as way as the marketplaces to see if anyone has them.
Good Luck!

Q: Car choice for a recent Yuppie?
I m a recent college graduate and I make pretty good money, I cant decide how i want to deal with my car situation.
A) Lease a brand new G35, or 350Z or maybe the new TL type S , B) do I buy one of those cars but from about 2003-04, maybe the WRX STI or the EVO
C) buy a an older car, for maybe 15 grand and put 5-7 grand into it to make it as fast and clean. Like a 98ish SC300 or 2000 Audi S4 something
A: It's personal preference.
If you have a deep set need to drive something new, and don't mind making payments forever, then lease.
There are those who think it makes no sense to buy a car because of it's rapid depreciation--I'm not one of them.
I personally try to find cars that are no more than 5yrs old with low mileage, put down as much as I can, then get a 4-5 yr loan. So in your scenario, that's option B.
Q: Which first cars do you think is the best?
I've looked at so many different cars for my budget of under $16,000. My choices are listed below. Please don't recommend any other choices, I'm just sticking to my choices for now.
1. 2001-2002 Audi TT, mileages range from 60,000 and up
cons I've seen for the Audi, are the electrical problems, if you can, elaborate on it, and please tell me what will happen if it isn't fixed.
2. 2003 BMW Z4, mileage range from 50,000 and up
3. 2003 BMW 540, mileage ranges 60,000 and up
4. 2001-2002 Audi S4, mileage ranges 60,000 and up
Tell me what you think of each of them, style, safety, reliability, how much do you think I should get for it, your opinion, and anything else you would like to add. Also, please explain in detail for me what will happen if something happens on the car, and I don't fix it.
Also, how much would you think the aftermarket parts would be like new Rims for the Z4?
And can you get a hardtop for the Z4, and the TT?
A: 1. 2001-2002 Audi TT- I've heard these cars are not reliable, like you said- electrical problems. Just seems like power features will stop working. Lights will go off in dash behind instrument panel. At least they did in my friends 1999 A6 3.0. Style is leaning toward feminine. Don't know if you are a woman but if you are this may fit you. They are also tiny inside. I'm sure they are quite safe. Back to reliablity they simply aren't very reliable and on top of that they are expensive to have repaired. Then on top of that you are dealing with a trubo. How much you could get for it in the future? Well, it isn't going to have good resale value either. Your number one is my last pick.
2. 2003 BMW Z4, I have drven a Z3 and they are nice. BMW is a huge step up from Audi in my opinion.. Style- they look good but the Z3 looked better. If you put rollbars you could improve safety. These will hold their value better. I would place this car as my second pick. 3 liter, 225 hp, 214 tq
3. 2003 BMW 540. The owner of the company I worked for had one of these. This is a professionals car. Lawyer and doctor type. The car screams luxury and that you are doing well. I would say most realiable out of the four and best for resale value. The 540 is my number one pick. Black with black leatheer would be nice but if not. White with tan leather would be my next pick and this is my top pick out of the four. Most power 290 HP, 324 lb ft of torque. Worst gas mileage.
4 2001- 2002 Audi S4, My friend had one of these. An 01 I think. Black on black and he put 70K miles on it in about 3 years I didn't talk to him so I don't know if he made repairs. I like them but they have the potential for serious problems
250 HP, 258 lb ft of torque.
Q: i have about 13,000 usd to bya car and don't know which one????
its either a 2001 Audi s4 with a biturbo v6 with a 6-speed, a 2002 mercedes cl-class 400 hp v8 witha tiptonic 5 speed auto, a 2000 bmw 545i, or a 2003 caddy cts??? any help would be great. id prefer to get to now more personally about the cars but i have to travel far to find most of these cars thank you
A: I work as a car buyer/certified frame damage analyst/mechanic and cosmetic defect analyst. None of the vehicles you listed are very reliable used cars. All of the cars that you named are luxury, out of warranty vehicles. Even with extended warranties, these will be more in the shop then in your possession. $13k is a lot of money. Why don't you buy a Lexus or an Acura if you are looking for used luxury. You can buy either one and these are a lot better/cheaper to fix and have much higher reliability records for used cars.
Now, if you were to choose only between the cars that you named...I would not buy Audi with a turbo engine, these engines are extremely prone to breakage and problems. If it's just a regular Audi or Audi quattro model (4 wheel drive), then you should encounter less problems. I would chose either an 02 Mercedes or 2000 BMW, but be prepared to get extended warranty or pay lots of out of pockets for expenses. Also, be prepared to not have the possesion of your vehicle, as each of these cars is expensive and lengthy to repair, even for small, seemingly minor issues. You mentioned that you live far, that is even worse, since most luxury automobiles can only be serviced at their prospective dealerships.
Lexus and Acura are made by Toyota/Honda respectively and thus they can be serviced at either dealership/mechanic pretty standard.
Hope this helps. If you would like to know some more reliable cars, just ask.
P.S. I would not recommend buying an older Caddy, as they are prone to oil leaks/fluid leaks as well as transmission failure over 60k in miles.
Q: Which car is faster?
A BMW 323i 1999-2003, BMW 330i 1999-2003, or an Audi S4 2000-2002
