Hard to say. Owner's hosed down the engine bay at least once seeing how the paint is flaking off on the VC.
Maybe his oil leak is a lot worse and he's washed some of the evidence away.

There is a reason people are opting for the z1 6 spd.
3 years ago, a bunch of K20 swapped hatches were asking for $8K and sold for $7K so hard to ask for $13,500. | This was listed 4-5 months ago IIRC for like $8k? Or something like that

| at that price, that surrey rs4 i suspect has blocked heads from the carbon buildup that they are known for at high mileage that can cost a fortune to correct.
brand new base price was $94k cdn stay away from the early pre-2007 quattroportes because of the duoselect transmission burning through the single plate clutch. they are cheap used because it costs thousands to fix, and it will just eat the new clutch again (i was told ~70k kms or less)

ha. i wish. i remember my old vw 2.0 fsi motor needing a chisel to break up the carbon. i can't imagine how long it would take to work on a v8. trying to use seafoam will only make you get to know your neighbors as you decimate the local mosquito population.

how is this price? engine runs but needs a bottom end rebuild. i can't see any rust in the pictures, but there seems to be some body misalignment in the left rear and something is going on with the rubber seal on the windshield header: 1997 Acura Integra GS-R - $1899 1997 Acura Integra GS-R

Look at all that black on the rear bumper. Just like my high mileage ITR and Poopsicle Civic.
You can buy that car, and do JasonTurbo's cheap ring job like the ad mentioned and drive it around for a while. Not sure how much that would cost. I am currently debating that idea as my B18C1 has 400K km's on it and is missing quite a few ponies.

Usually do not post dealer ads, though I feel this is a cheap luxury. It is the V6 N/A model, so no turbo issues, and comes with a free 1 year powertrain warranty. I would say it's not bad for the price. 2002 Audi A4 Quattro 6 Speed Manual, 1 Owner, Local, 1 Year Warranty | |
