My B6 "S4" - Project Lemonade?

Re: My B6 S4 - Project Lemonade?

Yeah.. Dylan is right. Being 17 + a B7 S4 = essentially writing off my car every year, i believe the cheapest quote i found was 10k a year, most of them being around 12k a year (almost as much as i paid for the car). This new one should be registered under an A4, but then again, ill have an accident under my belt so ill see how it goes with this one.

I recommend any young guy get the insurance option that waives the first case of the year, I totalled my jetta at a left turn in vancouver and insurance rates weren't affected because of that

Hmm, I use Canadian direct, and even before turning 25 I was paying around 3k for full insurance on everything. I also don't have any (except one) tickets and zero at fault accidents.

So I guess what you all are saying is there are advantages to getting older other than body hair and boner pills. I could probably T-bone one of you twice, wait till you got out to yell at me then run you over and I still wouldn't have to pay 12ka year.

Remind me to stay far away from you haha

Well yeah Bob, that would just be a single claim.

I had a accident when I was 16.....paid for that one over the next 6 years. Insurance basically doubled

Re: My B6 S4 - Project Lemonade?

I have dealt with high insurance, trust me.
I would still recommend full insurance on an Audi S4. Or get a cheaper car that you don't care about is always another solution.

Great Project! A good way of making the best of a bummer situation. Parting out the B7 will help pay for the project since the sum of parts are worth way more than the car as a whole.

Too bad it'll cost you your soul at our age for full coverage.

Re: My B6 S4 - Project Lemonade?

Ah okay that makes a lot more sense now. Maybe now from that little incident will come the lesson to always put full insurance on any car you care about/want to have around for a while.

Re: My B6 S4 - Project Lemonade?

Sadly it was an at fault accident :( I was turning left onto John Laurie and there was 2 cars the perfect distance apart that the car in the closer lane (an Acura MDX i think?) Was completely blocking the Buick in the further lane. It sucks, i thought it was clear, shouldve double checked before i turned but hey... hindsight is 20 20 i guess.

Anyways, i only had basic coverage, so the S4 was my problem. I did the math, seeing how much i could make back from parting it out. I figured that buying a B6 for 1500 would pretty much mean a free repair, once the left over B6/B7 parts were sold. Its just gonna be a lot of work haha

I'm excited to see this V8 turbo project go full speed ahead

You're getting way ahead of yourself with the cosmetic stuff. Save money for potential hiccups and worry about the small things like that later!

Yeah, normally id agree haha but the USP lip was on sale... and in Canada.. and there were 3 left... so i kinda just jumped the gun on that one haha.
