Aren't those S4's the ones that like to grenade engines?

BIngo! The timing chains stretch or the tensioners fail and they're located on the back of the engine. My BIL is selling his A6 2.7t next Friday and he's been looking at S4's but doesn't want another 2.7t and doesn't want the payment associated with buying a B8 S4. He's also very willing to pull the engine and do the work to prevent grenading. He's a VAG guy through and through. He's also considered some 2.0t's but then I may have encouraged the V8 by sending him video clips of B6/B7 S4's with aftermarket exhausts. I know he'd do the same for me.

Yeah, they ride pretty high, eh? One of the first things I did to mine when I bought it was bavauto springs and matching Bilsteins. Even after taking 1.25-1.5" out I still occasionally get hit with:

"man, you should lower this thing"

"ummm, IT IS lowered."

"whoa!"

If anyone is interested in the vert I can check it out. It's only 30 minutes from where I work.

Edit: Actually the other one is really close too in Owatonna so i could check out either.

Dang, thats a good looking car. For that level of car/price I'd expect to see real CCW's or something and not ESM's though. Not that there is anything wrong with reps, they are just a bit out of place if you're asking top dollar like that.

Cool side note, I had no idea the quarter windows on e24's could be retracted, that's pretty awesome

I guess even unicorn cars aren't safe from reps=( I sure hope it comes with the set of original wheels and that the paint and underbody are immaculate at that price.

For $40k it should come with a happy ending! The market has dictated that these cars aren't worth near that! It's a $20k car at most. With that said, it's gorgeous and i'd drive that in a heartbeat.

Anyone looking for a hauler?!?

That e24 is amazing, IDK about the "only one in the world" thing but it is a very nice example. Odd that it has shadow line taillights, but the rest of the car is chrome.

The white E30 vert is immaculate and well worth it. Someone go buy it!

^thats an interesting flatbed.....cant say I have ever seen a setup like that.

That's an interesting conversion, he doesn't mention in the ad but it's only front wheel drive. It does say that in the details section but nowhere in the description. Anyone that would actually buy it would probably know that already just from one look though.

yup, wayyy overpriced! You can get a low mileage M635CSI for that price.
