Meant to be looking at an M reg Audi A4 1.8t with 120k on the clocks fairly local to me.
Had the corsa for about a year and a half now and looking for a maturer car with bit of room etc.
Its got the full RS4 kit on it, full leather interior, 18" alloys.
Would you consider if you had the choice to swap??
My car is a 1994 Gsi in white, 95k, cesaros, rollcage, inlet, 4-2-1.
Appreicate a bit of guideance

i had a P reg one.... 2.6 v6
drove like a dream and had 130k on the clock... sold it on and its still going strong.
not sure if thats the engine whih suffers from the famed coil pack problem but the only problem i ever had was the immobiliser went up the shitter and needed replacing whih was relatively cheap.

However Audi's are just niggled with electrical faults

Niggled with electrical faults  Not seen any on mine tbh
Like any car, look after it and it'll look after you. You're always going to get Joe Nobody saying "this and that go wrong" on an internet forum.
If it's sounds right, drives right, everything works and it's got the history then I'd go for it if you like it. Would be handy if you or a mate had vagcom to plug into it on the test run to see any faults which may be hidden.

That's not an 'RS4' kit, the front bumper looks similar but the rest....
I'd leave that well alone imo.

Just my opinion because the kit is horrible, it's not a nice colour, it's got gangsters tints, the eyebrows, the wheels.
Ok it could probably be made to look better and I don't know what performance mods it's got but i'd prefer a standard 1.8t, add some wheels and jobs a good'en!

I think ill keep my eyes open and in the meantime get the corsa up to scratch and then when thats done i may have a different opinion
Really want to get it to Alan Jefferies with the TB's on too, which is another reason why im swayed against it atm. Im just so indecisive when it comes to a car
Going to update my Build Thread with some possible things that are going to be done over the forth coming weeks, again thanks for pointing me in the right direction and thanks for all the positive comments, they are much appreicated.
