Today we present you a manual-transmission wagon -- a 2004 Audi Avant 1.8T.

This one has apparently been well maintained, and it has 186,000 miles on the clock. Modifications include a BorgWarner turbo and a Magnaflow exhaust, among other things -- the list is long.

The front brakes, coolant flush, and timing service have been done, and the car has Bluetooth.

The car needs a rear brake service, has a misfire, and some paint fade, plus a few other issues.

The seller has some spare parts, including OEM parts, available. You can find this car in central New Jersey for $5,500. Click here to see more.

Tim Healey

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

$5500! For a 20+ year old VW with mods and 186k miles? You'd have to be a true gambler with stones the size of beach balls to pay a dollar and drive this a mile from home. Should come with a sign; "grasp firmly, pull pin, run like hell".

Not bad, but it needs to be brown and have a diesel engine!

28-Cars-Later Suggestion for future QOTD: Given the fact US road infrastructure is crumbling around us why must all new cars have 20+ inch wheels with tires an inch or two thick in sidewall which literally become bent over time bc of potholes? I know initially in the 90s wheels got bigger to accommodate larger disc brakes but its gone a little too far given the road infrastructure don't ya think?

SCE to AUX I can't warm up to the new look. Still prefer my 22 SF.
SCE to AUX I guess the direct sales stores weren't polled. Unless dealers are going out of business, I don't feel one bit sorry for them. They should most fear the mfrs who are eager to get rid of them, reducing costs and increasing customer satisfaction.
