Hey yall, I picked up this '09 JSW about a month ago. A little less than 2 years ago (January 2020), I had a 2011 reflex silver 2.5S/5 speed JSW that met an untimely death after a I was rear-ended. I've been passively looking for another manual 5 cylinder wagon since then, and this car popped up for very cheap, so I went ahead and scooped it. And it came on a set of pretty good Watkins Glen wheels (my favorites).
The 0A4 did what most do and had been whining for a while and finally started sounding like there was gravel in the case, which was the last straw for the PO. He had already swapped one 5 speed into it after the first died a similar death at 140k. This one quit at around 170k. The guy was super cool and had a gorgeous black/black 6 speed B5 S4 avant and was a photographer for BaT, hence the beauty shots from the ad.
