Default speaking of this, my car wasnt driven really at all for 2 years

and i asked this a while back but somtimes my cars idle is a little funny, i cleaned ISV and i think it has helped but it sitll does it slightly.

lets say the gas did whatever it would do after sitting, what do you do to "clean" it out?

well the thing with sitting on near empty tank is it will generate some moisture in the tank which means water and gas = not good gas..

I'm not sure if this is your case but i would prolly just run close to empty and fill again.. Maybe run some techron every other fill up.

Default ya i guess it needed some work (brakes, spark plugs nothing major maybe 400 in total parts though)

and the paint on the roof and trunk is bad, it was a one owner, and the guy moved from florida somewhere to dallas where he bought a V8 A6, and he had attachment to the S4 and didnt want to sell it i guess so it sat for IIRC from the carfax almsot 2 years, the person i bought it from i guess finally talked the original owner into selling it because he was storing it at his shop, he was a mechanic that did the work it needed and got it inspected and whatnot, then his wife wanted somthing else (a newer M class) and i came in and bought it
