Default My new Red C5

Hi guys!!!

Im too excited because I just bought a red A4 C5 1998 Coupé..

The most important is that only have 4K miles on it!!!!!!! IS NEW!!!

Since I bought the 97 silver I was sure that the car was excellent but when I drove this new one, the silver felt crap!!! hahahaha.

In the case of problems, only need to be reprogramed the tire sensor or replace a batery of Rear left because (like in silver) the BCM shows to check that system and in the gages dont show that tire..

It obviously got the Colum lock working perfect, I replace the battery for a new one with 700-1000amp, so I hope dont have bad energy problems soon. I will buy the CLB just in case.

The rear right tire was flat but I think that is RUNFLAT because didnt looked the wheel on paving and I dont felt bad driving, I just put air and works great but, 2 day later need to put air again, the question is: This kind of tire, may be repaired like the conventional?.

The drivers seat (like the silver) isnt fixedly or i dont know why it moves to the front when a brake, I hate that.

So, as you can see, I won the lotto with this car....

What do you think?

Here it was covered all this years, until I came to recover it to the streets


Here is the CHEVY HOUSE

Some more pics

Just kidding! Love the Torch Red!

Damn, where do you people find these cars? They don't get much lower mileage than that!

I'm sure you'll get many years/miles of enjoyment out of that baby!

Oh, btw, you have a fine stable of Chevys!
