FWD 1997 Audi A4 1.8t 148k (5MT) mi $1500 obo

For sale is my 1997 A4. I've owned this car for 3 years and it has never let me down.

It is my daily (for now) so miles will go up slightly, maybe 5-10 a week.

Owned originally in Chicago up until 60k mi, by second owner until 121k mi.

The car is aluminium silver mettalic (ly7m) but was in a fender bender under 10mph last august that ended up denting my hood to a point where it didnt open.The front end is mismatched as a result. NO FRAME DAMAGE!!

Lowered on Bilstein struts and H&R springs
Unitronic Stage 1+
JVC radio w/ BT and Handsfree calling
8" subwoofer w/ box, amp, and wiring. Installed professionally by previous owner, Vortex's own, OstTrefftWest.

During my ownership the following has been repaired or replaced:
- radiator, filled with g13
- new turbo coolant return line (metal and rubber one)
- leak detection pump
- new plugs (NGK, gapped to .028 20k mi)
- new ignition coils (10k mi)
- forge 007 dv with correct spring for tube, greased
- facelift headlights
- one is missing a tab so the alignment is a little off
- oil changes every 5k mi with castrol full synth 5w30
- upper control arms driver & pass side, under 5k mi on them
- new 1.8t rad support
- newer battery, ~5k mi
- oil pan drain (turns and drains oil pan and closes. no annoying drain bolt)

The car will come on 4 15x7 OEM Speedline wheels and an additional set of 4 OEM Speedline wheels wrapped in winter tires. Both are low on tread and will need to be replaced soon. Comes with spare tire.

Starts on first key turn. No codes. I just drove it 200 miles without a hitch. Turbo spools nicely. Clutch feels good still.

Needs brakes
PCV & TB eventually (have upper pcv, no puck)
headliner very saggy
originally chicago car. Shell is mostly fine but the chassis is starting to rust. There's a hole in the exhaust somewhere. It's pretty loud, doesn't sound amazing but it's better than stock.
ac doesnt work. (compressor doesnt work) was quoted $500 to fix and decided it wasnt worth.

Beater with a heater. Located in Lafayette, IN. Yours for $1500 obo. PM or text seven six five, 7seven2 fivefive52 for pictures.

Thank you
