Description
Overview: This 2004 Audi A4 1.8T Quattro features the renowned all-wheel drive system and a clean title. It is a reliable daily driver that has recently passed smog and is ready for a new owner.
Maintenance and History: The vehicle has been well-serviced with new brakes, front axles, and a new alternator recently installed. The odometer shows 178,000 miles, which is well below average for its age.
Features: Fully equipped with a leather interior, Bose premium sound system, and all-electric components. The car sits on 18-inch Audi factory rims with good tires and has current registration through March 2025.
Market Highlights
- The Budget Market Gap: In early 2026, finding a reliable, running vehicle under $2,000 is exceptionally difficult. This Audi occupies a unique space, offering AWD capability and luxury features at a price point usually reserved for non-running vehicles or salvaged economy cars.
- Southern California Context: In El Monte and the greater Los Angeles area, a passed smog test is a major value-add for older cars. The lack of rust on SoCal vehicles allows these 20-year-old Audis to remain structurally sound far longer than their East Coast counterparts.
- Mechanical Desirability: The 1.8T engine is a favorite among DIY mechanics and enthusiasts. With recent replacements of high-wear items like front axles and the alternator, much of the immediate maintenance anxiety associated with an older European car has been addressed.
