Firstly,

Alloy upgrades DO NOT neccesarily make a "Rig" stronger, but more susceptible to damage (I.E alloy suspension arms) so where alloy "Upgrade" parts are concerned caution is the watch word.

The RS4 3 Evo is a good rig, and fast with it if tuned correctly.

Have you got a link to the ad/auction ? We could give a lil' more input then

wow price sound good
the t 15 engine from my expereance is once the engine is old and depending weather it has been thrashed or not the engine is very hard to tune but this is just my experiance so wait and see if anyone els has had a differant experiance and speres should be easy to get hold of

Depending on price I would say go fir it. Just hope and pray that alloy is not "integy" ("intergarbage")

Looks well looked after though.......................
