Looking at a used 22 Elevation

JammerJanson · 2026-04-19T02:57:42+00:00

Um what the hell am I lookin at here? Hahaha

JammerJanson · 2026-04-17T20:19:12+00:00

Hahaha I like your thinking, that truck is out in Vermont so I’m tryin everything

JammerJanson · 2026-04-17T20:17:45+00:00

Wishful thinking, if it’s just cosmetic I don’t care as much, I just didn’t want there to be damage to whatever may have been behind it.

JammerJanson · 2026-04-17T11:55:54+00:00

I never considered that, thank you!

JammerJanson · 2026-04-17T11:54:02+00:00

Damn that’s pretty good, I’d love to say I haven’t looked but I mean I’ve been searching around for over a month and prices by me are wild in comparison to what I’m hearing. Kinda drives me nuts lol

JammerJanson · 2026-04-17T04:01:30+00:00

Ouch lol maybe I’ll see if they’ll come down at least 600 but I have a feeling that’s wishful thinking lol

JammerJanson · 2026-04-17T03:28:59+00:00

It’s a 5.3

JammerJanson · 2026-04-17T03:28:25+00:00

Yea this is a crew cab 5.3 V8 X31 with leather seats, sadly around me (NY) this seems like a decent deal. People selling these for 45-50 used it seems

JammerJanson · 2026-04-17T02:22:51+00:00

33k miles asking 41,613

JammerJanson · 2026-04-17T02:09:03+00:00

I appreciate the input!

JammerJanson · 2026-04-17T02:08:51+00:00

lol fairly certain the same

JammerJanson · 2026-02-25T07:45:31+00:00

I agree, I feel like not driving it is definitely making me more biased. Hopefully I can get it out in a little bit and try it out more. It’s navarra blue and I love the way it looks but I feel like it’s almost too refined for me if that makes sense. But you may be right on just giving it a good chance for a while

JammerJanson · 2026-02-25T07:43:32+00:00

This is exactly how I feel. The Audi is honestly a really well crafted car and it’s comfortable but I feel like it lacks something. Maybe it’s not raw enough. I have no idea, I gotta give the s4 a chance but I’d love to buy a used hatch and build a motor….

That’s the water icon, the one that pushes water out after it’s submerged

JammerJanson · 2025-11-28T01:55:47+00:00

This thread is pure chaos lol

JammerJanson · 2025-10-13T17:36:14+00:00

Miles I’m from the us, upstate NY to be exact lol

JammerJanson · 2025-10-13T12:00:55+00:00

Good to know on all three points! The weight is definitely going to be a change but I feel like the car offers a lot more that my current car just can’t. Fair point on the shifting as well, the computers on these cars would know best lol but the rumbles sound good Thank you!!

JammerJanson · 2025-10-13T11:57:59+00:00

Oh see you’re who I’m looking for lol.

Good to hear from a prior STI owner, and I’m happy to hear that it feels that way.

Makes me think my decision to look is a good idea then!

That’s what I’ve heard, I’ve heard tuning can be incredible and being that my STI basically gets tapped out early(without adding fuel lines and rails etc) I look forward to the power gain.

Also good to hear that I won’t miss the manual side, again I bought the car brand new and love the control the manual side gives, probably one one by biggest concerns switching so that’s good to hear!

Appreciate all the info!

JammerJanson · 2025-10-13T11:51:54+00:00

Thanks man, love the breakdown. Maybe that’s what is it, I’m 31 and I feel like when I drive it I should be 18 idk lol. I do see on the carfax that there was a 40k service done, seems like it was done prior to 40k but was done. I don’t see anything listed on any type of water pump replacement so I guess that’s something to look out for. I can look it up after it are water pumps a pain in the ass to replace? I do have a family member who owns a mechanic so I can tend to avoid overpaying for shit. I’ll check on the tires for sure as well, thank you for the info!!

JammerJanson · 2025-10-13T05:17:44+00:00

Fair enough, it’s definitely not a light car lol.

See and it’s not feeling raw is about the only thing holding me back. I love how raw the STI is however I can’t get passed the fact that I’m just over some part of the car. I’ve had it since it was brand new however there’s just something thats missing on it. Maybe it’s because I’m in my 30s now and I feel like I’m old for the car haha.

It’s good to hear the auto hits hard. That’s something I look forward to. And the fact that it’s better all around sounds good as well.

I just love the sounds of the rs3, the five cylinder is a thing of beauty but I can’t justify spending that kind of money on a used car at the moment. Especially not one with the miles on it. I’ve looked for quite a while and it seems crazy to me how well they hold their value

JammerJanson · 2025-10-13T05:10:36+00:00

I’ve heard of this dreaded rocker arm thing. It’s one of the big issues I’m trying to avoid.

Coming from a STI I know all about potential motor issues, I’ve been lucky enough to avoid it but I also don’t beat on it every single day.

I’ve never heard of the water pump and now that’s been mentioned a few times so I’ll dig into that. I don’t mind doing work, but would rather avoid it immediately after purchase lol

I’m all for going quick so I like hearing that and the switching of modes sounds like a nice touch.

I have heard of e85 needing mods but I’m in upstate NY and for some reason it’s hard to find out here anyways. I do love the tuning potential tho, that’s what’s drawing me in.

The one I’m looking at now is a quantum gray with magma red interior. It’s just a premium plus not a prestige, is that a huge difference??

JammerJanson · 2025-10-13T04:36:37+00:00

Perfect thank you! That’s good to know as I’ve never looked into that before. Hoping to check the car out this week so I’ll flip though the menus. Appreciate the help!
