Long story, but my car is salvage title and apparently when they fixed up the cr they redrilled holes to remount the transmission. Over time, original holes and newly drilled holes got closer md closer. Now they have become elongated/widened to be one hole.. Fixing it would help, but the movement of transmission back and forth side to side has most like damaged my diffs and axles to.
Its either take a risk repair it and then may have a massive bill to fix everything else.... Or sell my car and get an older model impreza with higher mileage which will have a massive bill too, but won't have as severe issues.

KBB has my car at 15,100...it's an 08 Premium with 33,500. Does that sound right? For that I'd gladly upgrade to a 11+ WRX...

Maybe you should see what the cost would be to fix it and go from their? I mean maybe you could fix it and sell it. It really depends on what you would rather do |

Hey guy's. Just joined and read the last 200 pages of this thread. I'm looking to purchase a 2008 2.5I sedan base package, auto, newton pearl blue locally here in North Jersey, so I sent a friend request to some of you guys that I found are local with modded 2.5I's. My plan is to use it as a DD. Most likely just RA flaps, Rota wheels, and coilovers. If I purchase the vehicle I will do a more thorough intro, buying this car to keep my Audi in the garage all winter (it's my show baby).
Anywho, anything you guy's recommend I look for that could be problematic? All the battery/fluids/belts/timing belt/waterpump have been changed and it's mechanically sound. It's a 1 owner, garage kept, 150k, no accident car. Remember, just looking to buy as a DD (my daily commute is 8 mile roundtrip) |

Also Fancyfoot... your car was one that stood out in this thread. Excellent car, OEM+ and love the flaps and gold wheels. Inspiration for sure. |

Damn, what a shame. this site has 3x the amount of users then my Audi forum but this place is dead! I only saw about 4 of you users that actually posted pictures of your cars lowered, wheels, engine mods, etc. in this thread over the past few years, haha.

I'd rather sell it, since resale value is going to be the same either way. Nope, not yet, but will insurance really cover this? |

I feel you man I felt the same way when I thought my car was totalled. There isn't much people left like us who value their car as more then just a thing to get from point A to B. By us I mean every car enthusiasts on this forum, ect. I'd say about 90% of my friends n family just see cars as accessories.

My OE mud guards or whatever they are called got ripped off a couple days after lowering my car, and they're no where near as low as the RA flaps |
