I wouldn’t worry about miles too much. Mines nearly up to 120k now and you’d never know, it rides them well and really enjoys being used.
I’d buy on condition, spec and signs of all the big jobs being done - they’re not cheap…..

Re: Fresh Paint and Stage 2 from MRC
The CRS Performance dampers with OEM springs have a completely standard ride height. I have them, they’re excellent and almost indistinguishable from the DRC setup, which was a relief. Only comment is they are marginally less sophisticated over low speed harsh surfaces eg. If you drive up a low kerb...

We’re not comparing apples with apples but for reference here’s a quote for work I’m having done from an Audi specialist

Re: Leaking Shock - no longer replaceable?
Thanks - they seem to be out of stock too. I have the standard setup. The garage hopefully have some sourced from Audi Tradition but they are going to check the DRC pipes for corrosion before I make the call. I think if the pipes are bad I might try the CRS Konis as I don’t want a firmer or lower ri...

Re: Car will not start
I had the Audi Master Tech who did the airbag recall work look into my issue. He said there was a relay fault, so I’ve had those replaced and so far so good. That said he said you have to work through the issues as they appear one by one….. fingers crossed for now. It sounded like there is a long l...

Re: Car will not start
Hi everyone, new to the the forum, just picked up my 'new' B7 RS4 Avant last month, loving it, will post about that separately at some point! I have also had this sporadic starting issue and only the first start of the day. What I've learned so far is you have to press the button and then WAIT. Som...

Re: I did exactly what you're not supposed to do | Fuel Costs
Shame you didn’t track the mileage, would have been interesting to see the long term MPG.
I’m 1 month and 1k miles into ownership and have had to disable MPG from the trip computer menu to help keep me sane !!
