I am in the market for an SC300, but I came across a 2001 Audi S4 Avant. I was wondering if any of you would trade your SC300 for an S4 Avant or hypathetically if you could do it all over go with the choice of an S4 Avant or an SC300 would you go for the S4 Avant?

Here are specs on both cars...

The S4 will break.

Coupe vs wagon... I prefer coupe. But those are one of the few wagons that I actually like.

Driice

Yeah I actually like this wagon as well. Very few that I do like as well.

I always hear that S4's engine (2.7T) is not reliable and will need to replace turbos probably sooner than you think. The SC3 and S4 I am looking at is at the same price range, although I could maybe get the SC300 for a little cheaper).

I'd rather have my sc, but if I trade it, it would have to be a rwd, 6speed, 2dr, v8 and alpine stereo Sorry guys I know what I want

Driice

Really.. Alpine stereo isn't that great...

I think Alpine is a good radio. I would find a SC and buy it. Then if that ain't enough then swap it with a 1jz or a 2jz. Jmo.

No way I would trade anything for a VAG product. I have owned a couple VWs, and they are a maintenance/repair nightmare.

Any more details about the S4 in question? Mileage, price, etc might help if you're looking for more than just people saying they'd keep their SC.

my buddy has a s4 and its awesome just not for me. sc300 > s4

If an S4 is comparable in price to a SC, it must have huge dings and 178,000 miles on it. So no. There's no way I would turn down a mint example
