i am going to the auction this thursday and i am considering a 2003 c32 or a 2004 audi s4... so far i been doing alot of homework and came to a few advantages and disadvantages...

c32 is faster
s4 is manual
c32 is co0l inside
s4 is better inside
c32 is nicer outside
s4 is quattro
c32 can be carlssonized
s4 can't
c32 is v6
s4 is v8 (more mod capability)

i know this has probably been posted before but i am just curious to see your recent inquires... thank you

C32 is easily upgraded with renntech pulley and chip and will run 12.4 1/4 mile. Which S4 are you talking about. The new one is non turbo but the old is turbo. C32 is an AMG Benz, S4 is an Audi That should pretty much end the debate. By the way, Mannheim is awesome! GET THE C32!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

thanx for your response... i was thinking about the new s4... not a big fan of the old one...i hear they are going to make a supercharger for the new one eventually but i might get the c32 anyway and mod the hell out of it... hard decision... thanx again..

i went there... there was no c32s... and the new s4 was too expensive and i much rather have a c32 than a old s4... i think the old s4s are a bit boring..so i was looking up prices on the dealers pocket pc for previous months c32 sales... and the 2002s were going for under 30gs. probably cuz they are low in deamand compared to m3's and other cars in that class.. i couldnt believe it... so i might get a 02' or maybe 03' c32 with low miles.. might take a while but i cant wait..

is there a way to view the inventory at Manheim or do you have to have a dealer?

it also seem that the C32 is cheaper than the M3, is there a reason why? How do the two stack up face to face ('02 vs '02?)

this looks like a great deal if you are looking to buy a c32

m3 was a bit more expensive than the c32... probably because the M series is alot more in demand then amg... and the m3 is probably one of the best cars tehy ever made at a reasonable price for what you are getting...the 03's were going hi 30's... that c32 is nice but red aint my color.. and the auction had them with less miles for around the 28,000 range..thanx tho..

the guy i go with is a dealer but he does get print outs of what is going to be there... so he lets me know and if something comes up either in black silver or blue either a 02 or 03... than i take a ride up there... i would consider a m3 but my girl is gettin one from there and i also want something with 4 doors but just as powerful if not more..but thanx for your help.. i will let you guys know how everything goes..
