Re: B8 Buying - modded or stock? Links included

Thanks for the replies guys. I've decided to give that particular one a miss. There is a RS4 near ish to me that looks a better bet. Full history and extended warranty. I'd be keeping a warranty going for as long as I own the car. It will be a daily. I think they are still young enough to cope with ...

B8 Buying - modded or stock? Links included

I've been thinking about a B8 for a while. It will be a daily so not really looking for super low mileage cherished examples. Just want to have owned and enjoyed one for as long as I can put up with the fuel bills! I'll be trading a decently spec'd F31 330D https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/403148845223?_t...

Re: Running costs of a B8 RS4

Thanks for the replies. My STI is averaging 26mpg. I'm paying dealer prices from Subaru at the moment to keep warranty intact. Are all B8s the same? Is there a particular year which is the better purchase - or particular option packs - the prices seem a little all over the place. I prefer the multi ...

Running costs of a B8 RS4

I have tried to search for the answer but couldn't find anything. Apologies if this is asked regularly. I'm wondering if its a case of if you have to ask, you can't afford it? I bought an STI new in April and although I'm enjoying it, it is a little compromised in some areas. I could keep it and sto...

Wanted B7 RS4 Avant

Hi there, Looking for the following spec RS4 Avant. Prefer low miles but will consider over 100K depending on condition. History needs to be good with low owners. The usual suspects replaced or at least proved to be inspected. Mods fine but no loud exhaust. No coil overs. Not red, silver. Black OK, ...

Re: Long Time B7 RS4 Admirer

Are you the same DAIR on Overclockers? I'm pretty much sold on the idea of an RS4 and I too worry about high milers. However, I've had a chat with a lad who has a car that is pretty much as per my want list but it is just over 100K and was planning to only look at sub 80s minimum. It's had some of t...

Re: B7 Buying advice

Thanks for all the replies guys. One thing - is Sport Plus that much different over Sport? I've been offered one particular example which I quite like but it is over 100K miles and was really wanting something well under 80K. However, it's had a reasonable amount of work - clutch+slave, DRC checked ...

Re: B7 Buying advice

Was it black with the reg rs04chr by any chance ? No, it was silver/grey with a private plate and smoked rear lights. One thing - I didn't know some were in a cheaper tax bracket. Aren't they all £500+ or something? If I could find one with cheaper tax that would be good but not essential. It is a ...

B7 Buying advice

Currently own a B7 170TDI Avant. I finally got a test in an RS4 last Tuesday. Arguably it wasn't the greatest example but I needed to know how it feels before making a decision. I'm still in two minds whether to get a B7 RS4 Avant or go safe and get a Black Edition B8.5 Avant oil burner. The one I d...
