I want to sell my S40. It's a 2000 S4 T4 Super Tourer, 5-speed manual. It was previously setup for hillclimb and has a firm suspension.
After restoring the grille sash:
It goes hard, it's very fun to drive. I've tweaked the front suspension a little to optimise for street driving, and have taken it to Canberra and back a couple times where it has performed well. Around the city I get about 11L/100km.

Most of the work is documented in my build thread: James's 2000 S40 T4 Super Tourer
Pros
- Tyres are all 1 year old with great tread
- A/C (electronic climate control) and heater work great
- Cruise control
- Sunroof works, no leaks
- Comes with a tub of spare parts, spare ECU, AFM, and some other bits
- Comes with a spare factory BBS alloy (it won't fit under the boot liner)
Cons
- Body has hail damage, and has a dent on the rear driver's quarter, and on the back of the boot lid
- CV boots are due for replacing (I already have new boots and seals)
- A-pillar trims and headliner need attention
- Interior is missing a couple of pieces in the footwells
- Interior is OK, driver's seat has a bunch of cracks, the foam itself is good
I bought it to drive around while I had some other cars laid up, it's been a great daily and is now
caught up on all its maintenance, but I want to replace it with a 3D printer.
Comes with NSW rego until April 2026, ~267,000km on the clock.
$4k negotiable, don't judge a book by its cover - come and take it for a spin! I'm in Telopea 2117.
