A4 Avant question

[Kona Bear]

I'm looking at getting a A4 Avant as the family car. I've found a 2004 I really like. My question: Is there such a thing as a wagon that does not have Quattro?

The car in question (I have yet to take it for a test drive) has no quattro badges.

Everything I've read (American) tells me that Quattro was standard for the wagons for the model year. Was there a Quattro less Canadian Edition that I don't know about.

Thanks.

Re: A4 Avant question

an audi without quattro is simply stupid.. but the new b8s are going to come FWD i've read and quattro of course

i'm pretty sure any B6/b7 avant is quattro only

Re: A4 Avant question

Is there any website that tells you how to read the VIN #?

Thanks.

Re: A4 Avant question

Does it have a quattro badge on it?

Re: A4 Avant question

It has none. Either they where not put on for the model year, or they where removed.

Re: A4 Avant question

Why not look under the car for the driveshaft?
Also, you cant remove the interior Quattro badges...

Re: A4 Avant question

I think Nordex was refering too the exterior badges. Good call on the drive shaft. It's on the Northland VW lot right now buried under snow. When I take it for a test drive on the weekend all my questions will be answered I'm sure. Thanks for the help!

The CVT FWD was offered in that MY, but I didn't thing they made Avant's with it...like Mark said, the "Quattro" badge on the interior trim cannot be removed (without leaving a hole).

I'm pretty sure there were Avants without Quattro. We looked for one for my wife and found a black one, standard, but then realized it was only FWD. So as they may be rare, there are some for sure, it was MY 2002+.
