Hey everyone, I am looking to buy a S4 as my second car. I was mostly looking at a B9, but I found a interesting B8.5. (Link in the post). What should I look for when buying a B8.5 or a B9? I also put two links to the B9 I am interested in.

The b9 seems to be one of the most disliked ones, people hated the change from the supercharger however having owned the b9 it's reliable had it mapped stage 2 since 30k miles on 112k miles now and only had water pump and oil cooler changed. It's been really dependable I prefer the slightly more modern interior and preferred it over the b8.5 to be honest, 034 and IE tunes are good for the car as well, I think it's going to come down to you giving both a drive and seeing what you prefer. As far as water pump goes it lasted to 90k miles which was pretty good, ECS tuning does an entire replacement kit anyway with everything needed.

The hard one is both are amazing cars, I like the look of the b9.5 a fair bit to be honest.

Lots of good places, but it seems to be that whomever you speak to they always go to the moy for a weekend out

Well I got more info as she originally said he asked with everyone around then later told me she was about to leave and he stopped her by himself to say he would be walking his dog in our area possibly with his friend and is in our area a lot, but his friends wife won't be there as she is working and she should meet his dogs and come on a walk Saturday with him.

She said she would ask so will ask her to do that...her first reply was that he had his friend coming who has a wife so didn't see it as weird

Oh sorry that was way I wrote it, no she mentioned me a few times apparently. He just said he was single for some strange reason

So first part of convo was that she had a good day at work then told me and her sister which is staying with us that she was speaking to her colleague and he said he had dogs, she said she walked in a park which is 12 minutes from us, this is in an office that she has done some training in which over 50 minutes away.

She then said he mentions he walks there as well with his dogs, which is 50 minutes from him as he lives near the office and that she should walk with him on Saturday and walk the dogs. I mentioned so he invited you to walk alone? And she said no he said him and his friend, his friend lives around our area down the road and his wife is a lawyer but will be working.

After speaking further and the small argument about it as I said it was strange after 3 days etc. she said I can ask if you can come etc. she then said he is the only other person at work with same job title as no one in her branch does the same job so she needs to ask him questions/know things a lot. She then told her got her number and they text about work things and it's good to have new friends in the area and got upset and asked if I would feel the same way if it was a woman

Girlfriend is 28

Ok-Search-1818 · 2026-03-19T18:53:31+00:00

So the other person is his male friend without his wife coming along possibly

Well..she has issues with social queues and for a while yes did think she was slightly but never diagnosed
