Buying a used Subaru is an awful idea

le frere de mon ami a eu ca un an. super belle voiture wagon. Il avait payé 17000 $ y a eu des trouble avec la chaine et la clutch et+++ ca lui a couté 10 000 $ en tout, il a revendu l'auto 13000 $ un an apres l'achat, je pense qui s'en est servit 3 ou 4 mois la dessus. Asteure y roule une sentra mais y a pu se permettre une maison neuve lol

J'ai passe tellement pres a un moment donne d'acheter une A6 4.2.....superbes autos mais je prendrais pas de risque avec ca. Elles se vendent meme moins de 10K (les 2005-2006) mais si ca coute un autre 8K par apres....ce n'est plus un deal.

A6-A8 et Touareg sont a belt il me semble.

What car?

Yep.

Doesn't keep people from purchasing in awe.

I'm running a time bomb supposedly because the 2.5L on my car has the same guides problem. I drive mine like I stole it and keep it freshly well maintained and in top condition. No issues so far, but yeah, it's an econobox and a Volkswagen, so we're all past the horrible reliability issues and electrical fire jokes so I'm alright.
 
Wow je suis content que Doug DeMuro parle d'un de mes sujets de discussions favoris, les 4.2 et leurs chaînent... J'ai eu une S4 B7 et je l'ai adorée jusqu'au moment de son vol trois mois plus tard.:run: Mais je savais dans quoi je m'embarquais.

Je comparerais pas vraiment les problèmes des 4.2 BHF avec le problèmes de IMS de Porsche qui sont beaucoup plus simples à réglés:

C'est important de mentionnés que les V8 4.2 des R8 et RS4 sont complètements différents de ceux des A6/A8/S4. Ils sont des versions hautes performances des V8 de Q7 qui sont eux mêmes "dérivés" du design des V10 d'Audi. Pas de problèmes de chaînent et de consommation d'huile excessives avec ces moteurs.

Je considère les S4 B6 et B7 comme des voitures fantastiques mais vraiment risquées comme achat seconde mains.
 
mon boss a un S4 2010 brûle l'huile, mon beau-frère a un S4 2006 brûle l'huile, un de mes meilleurs amis vient de changer sa S4 2010 pour un 2014 et guess what la 2010 brûlait de l'huile….un autre de mes amis a eu un S4 wagon 2009 bleu…le char était malade jusqu'à ce que ''boom'' moteur sauté…une chance que c'était un certifié pcq il se serait fait violer…j'ai vu le Work order et c'était un job de $10K….
 
This is not the only terrible Audi, there are many others including the C5 allroad. I believe there newer cars are better (but I gave up on Audi after owning two of them).
 
Un de mes amis a dret acheté une s4 2004 low millage l'an passée, dret comme dans l'article, tic-tic-tic, $$$$$$$$

Depuis il a mis pas loin de 8000$ en réparation au total sur l'auto, il la vend 12000$ ...

Mais sans joke c'est un charme cet auto la , ca va tellement bien ( quand c'est pas au garage )
 
I have owned 3 Subaru's, a 2007 WRX Stage 2, 2012 STi and 2012 WRX stage 1 and I have never had one single issue with any of them. I don't beat on them 24/7 but I am no means soft on them. Honestly there is a lot people out there who drive their cars like douche bags ripping on them 24/7, not taking proper care of them (Not letting car warm up before flooring it, not letting it cool down after beating on it, and not properly maintaining them). I won't say they are the best engine that money can buy, but if you take proper care of them, they are one of the funnest cars you can buy for such a reasonable price. I have had a LOT of cars and of all different power levels and many had much more power than my Subaru's but yet I always have a fonder love for these cars.

I am not saying that every Subaru owner that gets an engine problem was their own fault BUT I am damn well sure that there is a hell of a lot of them who don't have a damn clue how to properly take care of a care than when it blows they try and say that Subaru's are shit. There is a lot more shitty Subaru owners than shitty Subaru cars.


Only work I have ever done to any of my Subaru's was regular maintenance and not a single one of them has ever burnt a drop of oil.

Moi quand le Subaru Impreza 2014 de 4000km d'un monsieur de 70ans prend de l'huile, j'appelle sa un moteur de marde et un char de marde. Après sa chez subaru ils disent qu'un moteur à plat sa consomme de l'huile et que c'est normal. Le monsieur aurait du savoir que la technologie révolutionnaire de Subaru comprenait une consommation de 1l d'huile au 4000km et qu'il aurait du faire ces recherches par lui même avant de s'acheter un Subaru de marde.

Moteur de marde, service de marde, Subaru

You are honestly wasting your time and breath. When you have mods on this site making threads with titles like this one, which has nothing to do with the content posted, with the goal to bait non-constructive car discussion..... you know there is a systematic issue with the way this site is run. I applaud you for having your heart in the right place, but sadly your words will only be interpreted as misguided. The site you joined in 2005 is not the site you're on now.

Bizare ta beaucoup d'ami qui roule en S4 considerant que c'est une auto rare !

De mon Coter ma 2011 boit meme pas 1L en 15 000km ...

Les conssomation d'huile sont surtout reconnus sur les moteur suralimenté (particulierement les 2.0T.

Je fais 600km semaine avec mon S4 2004 de 219000km et il a va comme un neuf c'est sans contredit la meilleur voiture que j'ai eu a vie

C'est une auto d'entousiaste il faut voir les choses en face , il faut etre un peu mecano et ou avoir de bon contact sinon les depenses peuvent venir rapidement !

De mon coté je travaile en concession
Si les chaines brise je les changerais c'est pas plus grave ... De toute facon qui va vraiment au DEALER avec une auto de 10 ans ?!

Si ca arrive "on s'enttend que c'est pas toute les auto qui y passe ". On parle d'une job d'environ -4K pour avoir entre 120 et 150 000km de fun avec un V8 Awd de 350hp , ou environ 2000$ en DIY

Totaly worth it

I saved the picture of that motor....

WTF, that is a lot of chains and a ton of HUGE plastic tensioners , no thank you. I thought BMW 4.4 tensioners were bad.

Next time I even think of buying a used S4 I just have to look at it.
