Short Description
You’ll want a car that will last, a car that is safe, sure footed, and to a certain degree a car that you can “grow” with. You want a six-speed manual or tiptronic transmission, permanent four-wheel drive, and a six cylinder turbocharged engine with the very latest five-valve per cylinder technology, superb build quality, and lots of “go”. You’ve convinced your better half and your bank manager, you’ve checked with the insurance company that you can be covered and you’ve satisfied your conscience that you’ve made the “right” choice. You’ve made the decision to buy an Audi S4. Here’s how to make the vision into reality…

Model Specifics
Where do you go from here? Well, firstly you might want to appreciate that the Audi S4 biturbo was first released in Europe in 1998, with North America and Canada being introduced to the model in 2000, so there are actually two different models available in Europe. The external differences can be seen quite quickly, with early vehicles featuring square side-repeaters, thin body-mouldings, flush mounted door handles, and Xenon headlamps with separate indicators. It takes quite an eye to see, but you may also note that the doormirrors on earlier cars are not quite as “angular” as those of its successor. You’ll also need to know when browsing through local classifieds and dealer pages that an S4 listed as circa 1994 is not a misprint, and while it is a fabulous car, you do not want to waste valuable time looking at it! The early S4’s (or urS4’s as they are sometimes referred to) are based on the last model Audi 100 cars, and feature a 20-valve 5-cylinder turbocharged engine as found in the Audi S2.
Choosing a vehicle
By choosing an Audi S4 biturbo, you’ve actually cut out some major hassles usually associated with car buying right from the start. At the time of writing, the oldest Audi S4 biturbos have only been in circulation for under 3-years. This means that in most cases, you can rely on them having relatively low mileages, having been well looked after, sporting service history from the main dealer, and still benefiting from the manufacturers warranty. Problems such as rust, mechanical wear, and other such issues do not really come into the equation when buying an S4, especially since the car is fully galvanised and because it is exceptionally robust. But, as with all cars (and there is a but), there are some issues you do need to be made aware of – most of which stem from cars that have been modified, cars that have been poorly repaired after accidents and cars that have been repaired after vandalism.
