Easy to find the add on kijiji/edmonton

What a terrible ad....If you are going to advertise a heavily modified car you have to give a parts list to back it up.

Re: 2001 S4 stage 3 Nogaro/Nogaro avant!!

And tried to find it on kijiji with no success.

Edit: it's not in Edmonton

Not my car... Just wanted to bring it to everyone's attention

Link above ^^

Would be a bad ass project for someone.
I already have b5 s4 avant project and can't deal with the headache of two of them!! Even though it was tempting!!

Not sure about the tune.
K04
Water meth/tapped into some bi-pipes
Rs4 inter coolers
Twin 2 exhaust
Bremo fronts
Vogtland coils
Short shift
$5000 worth of stereo
Supposed to show very well, had two friends look at it.
Needs tranny rebuild (sticky 1-2 collars/ comes with kit)
Traction:abs module issue?

But it's a Nogaro/Nogaro 6speed avant... Unicorn.
Someone wants a sweeeeet project car I hope.

Chris at Das Auto needs a 2.7t I think

Re: 2001 S4 stage 3 Nogaro/Nogaro avant!!

Went for a look at the car yesterday. Beautiful sight to see in person. From what I could google, it's one of 25 (approximately) 2001 Nogaro on Nogaro and Onyx 6-sp sport pack Avants.

After digging into the specifics of the car, however, the shine wore off.

Spoke with both the current owner and former owner (Colin Andrews) and some inconsistencies appeared.

Cons:

-- 1/2 shift collars, obviously. (Parts on hand tho)
-- CO told my buddy Colin (floater), who was ready to buy it today, that the flashing ABS/ESP lights are "normal for these cars."
-- ABS module was replaced by CA and CurrentOwner says the ABS/ESP lights come on while driving
-- CA mentioned it needs a retune, CO confirmed this has not been done
-- CA mentioned the w/m injection needs adjusting, CO says "it works fine for me"
-- CO insists the BBS CH wheels that came with car are legit, when I knew them to be reps (which CA then confirmed). Not likely to be included as he says he's giving them to his mom for winters. Instead, car comes with (mildly) stagger'd, stretch'd and stance'd TSW Valencia wheels with fresh Nitto rubber.
-- There's a half done stereo system with good components but the install was amateur hour. Gonna take hours of work to fix.
-- Dinoc/CF trim wrap needs attention
-- Low on coolant, not sure why
-- Bent floor pan mod lol
-- CO says a headlight ballast was lost while driving due to poor mounting
-- CO says fog lights don't work, need rewired and new ballasts (IIRC)
-- Battery dead, apparently due to sitting over the winter
-- Dash cup holder is FUBAR
-- Upper dash trim is loose (around the ESP/Hazard buttons)
-- Door locks are sticky, CO says it's due to dead battery. But they're vacuum operated locks...
-- Clean, but could use a detail

Pros:
-- CO says the TB has been serviced very recently, and PS hoses and pump are new. Top end gaskets new.
-- Front bumper was shaved and repainted.
-- Alcantara (doors/seats) is in tip top condition
-- Little things like mirror glass and, armrest and glove box hinges and other interior stuff all seem good.
-- AWE Twin2 made into Twin1
-- Remote starter installed, works with smartphone



He came down in price a couple grand, but honestly... this car has a reputation lol. And it needs more work than he led on. This is a 12k car max, with the winters and a detail, IMO. He sells cars, should be able to source a cheap detail, at least. CA figures no more than 10k as is (without the winters tho).

Hope this helps!

Lol. Ya... for 15k you better be getting a properly tuned/fully functional stage 3 car.

My 1-2 collar is boned. I would never try to sell it as is though. Huge deterrent. Ask someone how much labor is for the swap.

Sounds like a thrown together project car.

Re: 2001 S4 stage 3 Nogaro/Nogaro avant!!

I saw this pop up too, seems super cool but way more work for anything other than to make it your 'project car'.

Re: 2001 S4 stage 3 Nogaro/Nogaro avant!!

When I saw the pics I was pretty sure it was Colin Andrews' car... Yeah not worth 15k for sure. I would lean closer to the 10k myself.

Re: 2001 S4 stage 3 Nogaro/Nogaro avant!!

Sooooo damn tempting, but I don't have the time right now to get this back to tiptop shape. Not for $13-$15k anyways.

[PRY4SNO]

Re: 2001 S4 stage 3 Nogaro/Nogaro avant!!

Just thought I'd add that the seller texted me recently, saying he was flexible on price. So $12k or less, peeps.

Here's a link to when ColinAndrews picked it up in NYC.

Re: 2001 S4 stage 3 Nogaro/Nogaro avant!!

Is CA still on the forums? I'd be interested in hearing his thoughts now, years after that ordeal has passed.

The floorpan is enough to put me off. Sounds like the current seller hasn't done much in terms of improving the condition of the car.

He is on here once in a while. PM him

Re: 2001 S4 stage 3 Nogaro/Nogaro avant!!
