I like that A3, as long as he doesn't get caught up in an accident on the highway, otherwise it'll be a nice leg workout.  | |

Perhaps the blurriness could just be attributed to the fact that they also don't know the difference between brakes and breaks.
Front end also looks quite beat up, the headlights are faded, the plates look kinda like the old old BC plates, the font looked a little different back then.

Work that needs to be done:
- steering rack leaking and needs to be replaced+tie rods
- power steering pump needs to be replaced
- ABS+Speed Sensor control module needs to be replaced
I suspect this is just the beginning of the list haha

Hey RS, Help me find my next snow day car! Since I gave the Eight Hundred Dollar Baller X5 to my son last winter. I need to find a snow car, I’ll drive my Mustang GT on winter tires pretty much every day of the winter except the days when the snow is too deep to get the RWD Mustang out of my driveway (it’s a long driveway and I have to be at work way early on snow days)
Budget under $8K-$10K, AWD/4WD, don’t care if it’s auto or manual, I’d prefer a manual obv. but beggars can’t be choosers. My penchant for unreliable euro trash is well documented in this thread but hey, I could be convinced to stray for the right car. I’ve been all over CL and FB marketplace for the past few weeks and just haven’t found anything worth jumping on. If only there was someone who wanted to sell on a high mileage A4 wagon they’d just picked up….
