The cressida already has a supra motor in it. It just doesn't come in a 5-speed or a turbo variant.
Jesus christ, why can I never remember to balance my checkbook or do my homework but I know all this shit about cars???

im looking for a newer car...less than 10 years old. I wouldn't mind a 96 A4 but I wouldn't get a 90-93 anyway, I don't like the style and it's just a little old.

The nice thing about Q45s is that because they're the top-end sedan they're usually owned by old people or wealthy folks, which means they're usually treated well and maintained regularly. I'd look into a Q45 if I were you. They're very solid cars, and extremely comfortable and luxurious. If you don't like the '90-'93 style, the '94-'96 is better anyway because of the improved valve guides. Throw an aftermarket transmission cooler (stock one's more like a heater) and you're golden.
In '97 they switched platforms and changed to a 4.1 liter V8 instead of the 4.5.

That audi a4's are the shit..My cous. has one..I think If im not mistakin' its a 98..Hes got some dub's on it and the shit looks hot....
I think he got it for 13 grand or some shit..CASH.....hes got money like that..Street Pharmacist...lol.NOt funny.lol
They are really expensive and the parts from what I hear are way way way too overpriced....
The Nissan Maxima is another good looking car and I think they are cheaper too... You should look into that...

If your skills on the road are comparative to your skills behind the keyboard... sell it now, while you can still walk.

ME + BIKE = NO MORE BRYAN
me plus a quad plus equaled me now having a big hole in the back of my knee, like 9 stitches, a shit load of road rash and a dead 10 point buck.
I still want the audi. I meant to go to the dealer today, but I think I'm going to wait till next week.

yea I perfer the "feel" of the 1.8t, but as for reliablitliy which is the better choice as well as cost of parts.
They're both nice to drive but I'm looking for the best one to suit me. I'm not looking for some super powerful thing, the most I'd probably do is stick a chip in it and be done.

for reliability you can't beat the 1.8t with a stick. They've been using that engine for YEARS.
Having owned a 96 A4 and also spending a few months in my brothers 2003 A4 I can say they are sure pimp ass nice cars.
However..... you say you don't mind the cost of them but do you really understand what you're getting into?
First off most parts are dealership only. I had to track down some breakpads/rotors for my 96 A4 ONE place within like 50 miles of me had them other then the dealership. Some random no name pads just the fronts costed me something like $89.99 the rotors were another 80ish each. so the front brakes cost me 250ish.
Timing belt, for parts alone is $550 dollars. Audi had a sale on doing a timing belt job. The SALE PRICE was $1200
Also depending on where you live FWD isnt such a bad thing. I'll never own a RWD car if I have to drive it in the snow. EVER.
1+ for Bs idea 2.5RS they are in your price range and look great.

A4s are AWD or FWD, and I'd much perfer the AWD.
It can't be much more than what it cost me with the 944. Pads were in the range or about $70 and order only for the fronts, but some cheap no names could be had for 50 or so cause the internet is my friend . TIming belt was also rediculous amount, right around 600 and that was a bargain.
I'd spend the extra on better pads but this isn't TOO bad if I was in a situation.

I'm going to look into the 2.5 RS, but that's not as nice as the audi and harder to find a nice one.
Jeffie,
Did you have a 1.8t, 2.8, FWD or AWD?

I had a 2.8 FWD and still have the 2003 3.0 6speed with AWD
also the brake pads I bought were no name after market parts.
I bet OEM would have cost me 400 for parts alone to do the front brakes. 2 rotors and 4 pads. Im just guessing that.....
Bottom line even having the option to buy another audi I would NEVER EVER EVER buy one with out a warrenty EVER
