i love me some audi but even i will tell you that being the 5th owner of a B5 chassis is asking for it, especially when the guy's fix-it list shows him throwing new parts at it every 1000 miles :lol: the bi-turbo S4's are special cars, and you have to be a little "special" to own them and keep them in peak condition.
i've posted this before, but its worth repeating: the "lotus-lite" 2ZZ swapped MR-S. they do come up for sale in motorsports circles from time to time. i know, no swaps! but its soooo cool and makes the car like it was supposed to be from the factory. fine - no swap? the 1ZZ cars are still pretty sweet. 2200lbs, 35+ mpg, LSD equipped, mid engined spaceframe toyota before the brand went completely lifeless. you can get a hardtop, and you'll love the fact that it has almost no storage capacity - 100% toy, except its all corolla parts underneath so just drive it forever. $10K will get you a nice later-year model which should definitely have the LSD.
known problems are few and once you know where to look its pretty easy to fix.

they're strangely ugly but at least they have a personality
