hi everyone I'm really really confused , seen an audi b4 2.0 come and gone on gumtree and e bay now relisted hasn't sold again
needs re paint to bonnet , front wheel bearing but the chap says one will come with the car, rear window dosent work, slight rip in drivers seat, 4 owners, drivers door needs barrel lock,no mention of cambelt , or tyre condition, , its only 5 miles from me and not a lot of money would you take a flyer or wait for a better example 1 months mot , but the cars always failed most past mot,s , I do so want to get a b4 with speedline alloys to tinker about with

What would the plan be ?

1. Used as a daily
2. A resto project

Okay, well if it's going to be a resto project then go have a look and buy it if you like it, i bought a 2.3 coupe unseen for £250 and wasn't disappointed, i get 3hrs a week on it if i am lucky but have enjoyed messing with it.

Look at The Interloper thread in readers resto's, i'm still playing 3 years later

If it's going to be a project and for going to shows and using for high days and holidays then maybe hold out for something a bit more special?

....or, just buy it!

Speedlines you say......(let's call them)

original.....or 10-spokes !?

Putting a link up would be useful

I think I saw the car advertised. Looked an honest enough example for the money. And it had the Speedlines you're wanting. Worth a look at only 5 miles away if it's still available.

Check for front subframe rust & failed heater matrix.
