+100hp on a golf sportwagen/alltrack is easy and not very expensive, either.
But that doesnt fix the plain, boring interior, shitty seats, numb slow steering, vague gearbox.... its GREAT value for a brand new car, but the F31 is literally DOUBLE the price as a new car and it shows/drives like it. All of it can be 'fixed' with some suspension upgrades, GTI seats drop in, APR tune & GTI turbo... but that's a lot of hassle on a brand new car and effectively voids the warranty as soon as it rolls off the lot.
https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2008-audi-s4-avant-9/ - the price on this is careening into orbit so I'm out but was watching it with an itchy bid finger. I put a feeler out for a low mile B7 S4 that hasnt been tilted into the BaT alternate reality universe, but I dont expect that will turn up anything. A really nice one with under 60k passed through audizine a few weeks back, so they are out there.
F31 mafia people, is there anything I need to look out for specifically? They were sold new with a 4/50 warranty, right? So if I buy a 2015 with 30k on it, I should have at least a year left on that. I found an estoril blue one in NC with all the m-sport options, even brakes. Nice price too. I got some pricing quotes on Dinan packages from Tischer BMW and its not terrible and cheaper than a timing chain job on an S4.
