RS246.com Forum :: The World's #1 Audi R, S and RS Enthusiast Community

Hi, Always been a fan of the RS4 and it feels like an itch that needs to be scratched. Hopefully going to view this car tomorrow: http://usedcars.audi.co.uk/carview.aspx?id=600434984 56 reg, Phantom Black Avant with just under 20K on the clock up for £34.5K. Given that we are in the middle of a rece...

Hi Dave, :bigwave: I have been lurking on this forum for almost a year now as was seriously considering an RS4 but picked up my CSL a couple of weeks ago instead!! Agree with you a great machine and fantastic to drive (oh the noise of that engine!) See you over on bm3w (are you coming to the M Power...

Thanks Phil!

Hi Phil,

How did you get this info? Is there a backdoor into the HPI system?

I need to check the history on a car (non-Audi).

Thanks,
John

This week's Autocar has a brief note on the impact of the new RS4 on prices of all RS models - take from it what you will. It anticipates that the price of RS4s will take a hit over the next 6 months and will be much lower than they are now. I have been watching the RS4 market for over a year and yo...

John,

Ah, so it is you I have seen around Putney. Seen you pootling up Schubert Road off Upper Richmond Road a few times.



Car looks lovely BTW

cheers,
John

Have seen a Noggy Blue RS4 couple of times in Putney (anyone on here?)

If you post the first part of the plate, will keep an eye out for it...

A few questions as I consider the purchase of a 2001 RS4.

Is an extended warranty available after 5 years and if so how much is it?

What is the limit to how long the warranty can be extended for (have heard 8 years somewhere) and does the cover reduce over time?

Thanks for your help!

So Tombs, have you had a chance to look the car over yet?

Any concerns around wear and tear doing a lot of urban driving?

I am thinking of overheating in traffic etc. as you won't get the benefit of cool air to those intercoolers and turbos you would as motorway speeds.

Good site for some of their other stuff too.

Enjoy.

And how many owners?

Well, vendor won't budge from 30K. IMHO over-priced in particular compared to the Misano car that you mention Ben.

Looks like I'll have to start my search again...

Thanks for your help guys.

Inspection at QST is £75+VAT and takes an 1.5h. Kim checks the car over visually, gets it on a ramp, plugs in the VAGCOM and checks for diagnostic codes and then takes it for a test drive. Everything you can do short of starting to take the car apart and I guess what you are paying for is Kim's know...
