I don't think that 2003 A4's came with 2.0L.

The car looks like it is in good condition though. It doesn't seem like too bad of a price either.

Truepoint!! 1.8L my bad! Anyone else agree its an understandable price?

Price seems pretty reasonable for a private sale...blue book would be about $6K but that doesn't take any consideration in for the mods. Looks like a nice ride. Best of luck.

A little overpriced, you shouldn't be paying extra for mods on a car. Plus if that engine was swapped into it, it could be a headache...

True man, engine swaps could really be a pain in the ass...other thing is i agree just cause it has a lot of mods doesn't mean you gotta pay for it. The car looks great though. Good luck

tons of nice upgrades, but the price seems too steep to me. I paid $6500 for my 99' Passat GLS (all options and V6) it's in perfect condition, including the leather. It looks brand new inside and out.... but what I paid was a little too much in my opinion
