1994 Audi Ur-S4

I give a lot more attention to BMWs these days, but for a long time I was all about Audi. Stemming from my first car being a VW, I wonder if the past decade I’ve spent in California has subconsciously diminished my desire for winter capabilities embedded by a youth spent in Washington. It’s not a permanent or complete change, however, as the image of throwing snow from all four wheels still gets me all excited. While Audi stepped up their game as the millenium turned, I love the original S4s and S6s for their understated looks and rally-bred performance. There’s something special about a 5-cylinder turbo, as I was reminded of recently upon seeing a TTRS and RS2 conversion in the same day. I want to take this Ur-S4 off the family man’s hands and keep going in the vein of subtle modification he’s begun. When you see names like MTM and 2Bennett, you know someone has done their research. If I were to give up the BMW S38 scream, it might just be for the blow-off whoosh of a tuned Audi.

Obviously a legitimate Audi guy, this S4 offers a great value for performance, luxury, and all-weather dominance. It’s covered some mileage, but even if the current bid doubled this would be a decent deal.

1994 Mercedes-Benz E320 Coupe

by Paul on April 13, 2013 in Mercedes Benz with 6 Comments

Maybe I’m getting old, but I yearn quite often for the Mercedes-Benzes from the 1980s and 1990s. Having grown up in a family that had a 190E 2.6 and a 400E, both of 1992 vintage, I miss the tank-like quality of these cars. These cars always struck me as interesting since they weren’t a boring drive, but didn’t have much in the way of sporting intentions. After driving my parent’s 2000 C280 on a trip home this weekend, the merits of these older Mercs are clear. Thirteen years and 105,000 miles never felt so good.

One of my favorite and most overlooked Benzes from the 1990s is the W124 coupe. Sold in small numbers stateside, they aren’t very flashy for a two-door, but have a simple elegance about them which exudes good taste. This E320 coupe for sale in Illinois is a low mileage survivor that personifies personal luxury.

Year: 1994
Model: E320 Coupe
Engine: 3.2 liter inline six
Transmission: 4-speed automatic
Mileage: 64,600
Price: $13,500

1994 Mercedes-Benz E320 Coupe on AutoTrader

Rare 1994 Mercedes E320 Coupe, all options, automatic climate control, seat belt assist front seats, power antenna, premium sound, sunroof, Mercedes factory phone. It is hard to find E320 Coupes. Many Convertibles are listed but a coupe is very rarely up for sale. The engine and trasmission run great and shift seamlessly. The interior and all wood is in excellent condition inside this vehicle. Even the trunk mat is clean with no stains, A/C ice cold, always garaged, looks & drives great. Must see, interior like new, title in hand, well maintained.

As a general rule of thumb, the convertibles and 500E/E500 über sedans are the most highly valued W124s. The coupes can bring a little bit more than the estates, and the estates a bit more than the sedans. Since there were so few sold here, the coupes are fairly hard to come across. Nevertheless, $10,000 to $12,000 about the high mark for these cars, barring an exceptional car that might have around 20,000 to 30,000 miles. The 1995 E320 Estate we featured last week sold for $9,600, so I’d say were somewhere up around the $10,000 mark or so as a realistic value for this E320.

1994 Audi S4

by brian on February 5, 2013 in Audi with 8 Comments

In the early 1990′s, Audi was shaking up their line up and introduced the S4 in 1991 as the performance version of the 100 sedan. Despite sharing its basic structure with the 100, the S4 was intended to take the place of the the discontinued 200 Turbo-Quattro sedan. It wasn’t until the next model year (as always) that the US saw the UrS4. The S4 featured a turbocharged 2.2 L, 20-valve inline 5-cylinder engine that made 227 hp and 258 ft/lb of torque. Standard equipment included Quattro all-wheel-drive and a manual transmission.

After Audi dropped the 100 nameplate and re-badged the car as A6 in 1994, the S4 became the S6, although the only changes to the model were minor cosmetic. It wasn’t until 2001 that the S4 came back as its own model based on the relatively new A4 platform.

Year: 1994
Model: S4
Engine: 2.2 liter turbo inline five
Transmission: 5-speed manual
Mileage: 169,000
Price: $3,600 reserve not met

1994 Audi S4 on eBay

1994 Audi S4, very rare blue color, only 500 or so of these made for that year and in blue color I don’t even know how many were made. Clean title, clean Carfax, no accidents! This car is in excellent condition for a 1994. The body is free from any major dents or dings just a couple minor door dings. The interior is clean, the leather does not have any rips in it and has held up well over the years. The dash does not have any cracking or fading and all the wood trim is intact also without any issues. Everything in this car works from the headlights to the taillights. All windows function properly and everything locks properly as well including the keyless entry. Everything on this car is all original no modifications whatsoever and no pieces missing except for the magazine for the CD changer. The car runs great the turbo spools nicely without any hesitation and it feels very strong along with the clutch which also grabs strong and has no grinds or popouts. Brakes still have about 70% life remaining along with the tires which are also about 70% remaining. If you would like some more pictures please send me your email and i will get them to you thank you.

Normal flaws for this car include:

Splintering in paint on the hood only (hard to show in pictures)
Wear on driver seat bolster nothing serious just regular wear and tear over the years.
Low windshield washer fluid warning light is always on unless completely filled to top

Timing belt was done at around 110k but unfortunately, I do not have receipts for this car. It was my stepfathers and it was meticulously maintained anything that was ever wrong with it was taken care of right away that is why it is in such good condition the way it sits today.

While not the most pristine UrS4 I’ve seen, this could be a great project for someone looking to put a little elbow grease in to it. The blue over ecru leater is a great combination and a nice departure from the green cars that seem to have flooded the S4 market. The maintenance history is one of the only things that would concern me about this car. Without documentation, it’s is tough to discern that the T-belt was done 50K miles ago, as well as other issues. That aside, this car would be a good solid buy at $5,000 to $6,000.

1994 Mercedes-Benz E60 AMG

by Paul on January 29, 2013 in AMG, Mercedes Benz with 5 Comments

Many consider the 500E and E500 the top dog of the W124 range, AMG did this car one better. While not offered in the US, buyers elsewhere could specify Code 957, the AMG Technik package, turning your base E500 into an E60 AMG. This tuned sedan featured the M119 V8, modified with a longer throw crankshaft, a 10:1 compression ratio, higher lift intake and exhaust valves and a less restrictive exhaust. This all added up to 376 horsepower and 428 lb ft of torque, with 60 mph attainable from a standstill in 5.2 seconds and a top speed of 175 mph. This was more than enough power to scare certain high end sports cars of the day off the line. Only 126 of these super saloons were ever made and there are even reports that AMG produced a handful of E500 and E60 estates. What I wouldn’t give to get my hands on one of those fast haulers…

This Brilliant Silver E60 AMG is on offer about 60 miles southwest of Hanover, Germany.

Year: 1994
Model: E60 AMG
Engine: 6.0 liter V8
Transmission: 4-speed automatic
Mileage: 90,409 mi
Price: $62,966

1994 Mercedes-Benz E60 AMG on Classic Driver

Mercedes-Benz E60 Sedan

Exterior color: Brilliant Silver Metallic 744
Interior color: Black Leather 271

Amenities: Left seat electrically adjustable with memory, driver seat right electrically adjustable with memory, AMG technology package, automatic dimming rear-view mirror, electric blind for rear window, electric sunroof, adjustable steering column, adjustable front folding armrest, automatic climate control, sound system, locking system with remote control, heated seats. Very well maintained vehicle, serviced recently with extensive replacement of all oils and filters, as well as new tires and muffler. All calculations based in Germany accounted for.

Currently, an E500 in good shape with less than 75,000 miles will range somewhere in the low $20,000 range to just above $30,000. I was shocked to see how much the seller was asking for this car, even when considering how rare these cars are. Closing in on almost 100,000 miles, I thought the asking price was steep, but then I stumbled across a limited edition E60 AMG, one of 12 ever made. This was on offer $15,000 higher than our feature car. While it may seem crazy for some to spend that kind of money for a W124 of any kind, I’m sure there are collectors and enthusiasts who appreciate these cars for the goal the manufacturer and tuner had in mind: to be the fastest thing with four doors on the Autobahn.
