what is the tuning potential(and the cost of the tuning) of this car? how many more miles can it squeeze? and how would the gas mileage look like?
100k miles is alot, so i’m wondering what else it would need to keep rollin.

not worth 10gs

It’s an attractive car but I would stay away from German cars if I was you, and I speak from experience. I have had a 2001 BMW M5, and knew friends who had Audi’s. The Audi brand has always ranked lowest on JD Powers quality and reliability ratings out of all the German brands and that’s not all. They are also extremely expensive to modify and ridiculous to maintain. About $100-150 for an oil change, $500 for a simple sensor. The same cold air intake that would cost $300 on a Cadillac CTS-V will cost about $1500 on any Audi in the same performance class.
Not exactly sure about gas mileage but I would expect 17 city, 24 highway. If you need to stay close to the $10K mark, there is only 1 car I can think of that combines performance and excitement with a very decent level of reliability and acceptable gas mileage as well: The car is the 02-03 Nissan Maxima SE with the rare optional 3.5 V6 and 6SPD manual. All of them have HID headlights and BOSE stereo and most have leather seats and optional Navigation as well. I would highly recommend checking this car out…it is very respectable and very easy to tune and maintain. Unlike the Audi, which you will want to tune, but you’ll be surprised how fast repairs and maintenance costs add up when you go German and trust me, the AWD and luxury is not worth it. Nobody can tell one Audi from another anyway and your budget will thank you. I would keep Japanese cars at the top of the list, and American cars in second place, while the European marques completely off the list. I wish you luck with your search!

GREAT car, decent price. contrary to popular belief, if you do your own work and can stay away from the dealer, parts are VERY reasonable, and since audi built a ton of b5 s4, used parts readily available. Lots of on-line forums with help for the diy’er. Fun track car too, if thats your thing. properly maintained, 100k is nothing.
Tuning potential ? your kidding right ? That little bi-turbo is the pinnacle of tunability. 500hp is EASY. (ok, not cheap but easy). Some tuners are claiming upper 700hp with professional builds. Check out. Their simple stage 1 chip ($700) brings the otherwise stock motor to around 320hp and will keep you more than happy till you can afford to go bigger. (check the youtube video of the mrc-tuning b5 s4 going over 200mph!) Then when you want to go bigger, check out. Crazy stuff….
a stock car is good for low 20 mpg (if you can keep your foot out of it)

Reliable, 10k for a 100k audi s4 b5 is alot tho, you should be able to get a 80k-90k for $8k.
As far as reliability, i’ve heard the good and the bad. You can’t rate a car on JD Power and associates. You need to use it, feel it, love it/hate it.
If you have money to pay the repairs at a dealer ship wich are assumed to be expensive because of the labor, Go get it. Its an awesome car.
If you are a college student, with a tight budget, stay away from it while you can. Or if you can perform the maintenance on your own, it’s relatively cheap to do.
And it’s an S4 so it’s a little more to repair than a general audi.

you have to pull the engine to address the turbos, the cost is about 5grand
