This is gonna sound a little crazy, but I gotta get some opinions. I currently have a Bifrost 2/64 feeding into my Saga 2, going into my Orchard Audio Valencia, powering my (fairly new) Tungsten V2 double sided. I have some other "fun" amps for tube sound etc, so I am not super interested in it sounding different, just better. Do you guys think a Kara F would be a significant sonic upgrade? Maybe even another headphone amp from Schiit? Right now I actually do not have any issues running the Saga besides it not being balanced input, but I kinda doubt that matters a whole lot.

I am looking to purchase a 2016 to 2018 Audi S3 Quattro with the 2.0 turbo engine and s tronic automatic transmission. The mileage of cars in the 55 to 70k range seem to be within my budget.

What should I be on the lookout for and check before pulling the trigger?

Does this look like it will be a total loss?

Crashed the car during Autocross. I do have Auto-X insurance for this situation. I am waiting to hear when the adjuster will be able to come and take a look at it.

My only Auto-X incident in 11+ years of doing this.

On a separate note, the side airbags did go off, and I walked out of the car uninjured, so I give it a 5-star safety rating.

Update 5/12/26: Confirmed as total loss

$1750

The wheels are in very good condition, and the tires have about 2000 miles on them.

Wheels: DRAG DR-77 20 x 9 ET38
Tires: Michelin Primacy Tour AS 275/40/20

Comes with 433MHz TPMS sensors that work with vehicles that support this interface, like the Hyundai Ioniq 5N. I will also include hub centering rings for the Ioniq 5N. Other vehicles may need different centering rings. I am located in 07876, pickup only. Including pictures of the tires/wheels on my car.

This was a two-day event, and this is my best run from Sunday.

I believe I did much better on Sunday than at Saturday's event.
