2000ish Audi a4 1.8t awd for 1,500?
 
It looks like it has blown turbo and needs some coils, but it has a mint interior and exterior. If the engine is gone I plan on parting it out. I've read so far these cars are POS. Is that true? If I fix it I hope to get atleast 5-6k for it. So does this car sounds like a good 1,500 investment?

If all it needs are coils and a turbo, go for it.

The only deal I got was a bmw 325i at 2500$ but no power stearing, right wheel bearing gone, exaust leak, ducktape pflow and had more rust than my teg... At least the engine was good :P

I went there and the girl said to me: "I went to the garage and they said to me that there was no oil anywhere"

thanks for the info and bye bye!

2000ish Audi at 1500$ is pretty cheap... I want a deal like this too!

Check the timing belt. If it jumped forget it and move on.

1.8t is full of fail, I think we already had a thread about this...

Rob i hope you didnt call me a tranny cause i have no clue what i said let alone you.

Yeah i was trying to stay away from 1.8t's cause i know they have some "issues" but high milage turbo motors scare me. If you plan to flip after fix i dunno. too much of a margin to find all sorts of expensive issues once you dive in. I can see a 1500 invest ment growing to a 2500 investment quick.

The turbo's are crap, the wastegate valve is riveted to the actuator arm and falls off,the turbo crack bad and suck to change. If the timing belt broke/jumped you will be looking at 20(5 valves per cylinder) bent ,sodium filled valves. These cars were meant to be driven, not worked on!!. Expensive head set w/torque to yield bolts,will need complete timing set with tensioner and rollers . I have done 5 or 6 of these at the shop and they are no fun to fix.
