To tell you the truth I would be selling it to my brother-in-law... so I would let the mods stay and give him a good deal...

I would just have to educate myself on the S4... that should not be too hard.

I'm getting more mechanically inclined being that I have done a clutch in my current A4 along with a host of other things, brakes etc etc. So I'm not afraid to roll up my sleeves. That's actually one of the reasons my wife allows my car hobbies to even happen... with the promise to save $ when repairs are needed.

Every time I start thinking about my DD my mind wonders... what about a newer S4? Heck I've even thought about a used GTI! I had a new one before we had two girls! I loved it. I wouldn't mind picking one of those up. Granted they are no S4, but still fun. You can get 40k mile examples for $8k-ish. Not bad.

I don't know... I guess I'm looking to spend $8-10k for my DD. Just a highway workhorse is all like the A4 has been. I know the Audi 1.8t so well. (wife has it in the 02 Passat as well)
