My brother-in-law is getting a new car due to his A4 needing a new oil pump. He said if I thought of anyone who might be able to fix it up and use it for autox he would get rid of it dirt cheap. The car is immaculate inside. Silver on grey p-leather. Car had head redone at 100k. The car currently has 160k on it. I think he is looking for under 1k. This was his daily driver going back and forth all over the MAR because he is in sales. Just a feeler for a family member

I would be interested, but Andy told me that AWD cars understeer really badly, so I don't want it.

Maybe Jed does though? All his cars are really old, so it would fit right in!

They're called classics. Besides, the E46s are heavy understeering pigs and the E92 335i has an unproven twin turbo motor. Not to mention they are both Bangleized atrocities.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh, now I feel better about myself! :)

Have you tossed it onto Craigslist yet? If not, do it right away.

For $1K, the thing should walk away.

Sorry guys I was not informed of everything wrong...

Example:



Right outer CV boot is torn

Right tie rod end needs replacing

(probably need a 4 wheel alignment after that)



Needs new front pads and rotors

Left upper links need replacing

Rear differential seal is leaking

Coolant hoses to oil cooler are leaking

Needs 3 vacuum hoses

Abs light is on (won’t pass inspection unless fixed)

Airbag light is on (won’t pass inspection unless fixed)

Passenger side light washer cover is missing.



Just wanted to keep everyone informed.

I sent my bro-in-law an email letting him know that people are interested and to get in touch. He is swamped right now. I would get back to you guys asap but its not my car nor am I driving this process. I thought I would post on here because I knew people would be interested. Sorry for any delay and hopefully he will be in touch with anyone who is intersted today at some point.
