it looks like a good example imo, but you would have to speak with the seller and gauge what the car is like from them. It is low mileage and at £13k is a good price. Im sure there will be someone with a bit more info.

It makes me really really sad to see RS4's with this mileage going for less than 13k. :thumbsdown:

Surely this trend has to change?

No way would I sell mine for that kind of money and it has more miles! :!:

A few of us reported it to EBAY at the time. The seller kept stating that the CAT B was an mistake from the insurers were going to revise it. Don't think so some how...

I also enquired about the wheels/spacers, knowing full well the OEM RS4 wheels are ET29 and B5 OEM are ET20, so a min of 9mm spacers are reqd. He said none were being used...

Should be reported again, if it is the same one. Seem to recall the old advert also being written IN CAPS !

No, you shouldn't! Loads on here (including mine) that have past that mark, and they look and feel like 30k miles. It's all about history and how well they've been looked after (as with any car). I've never worried about buying Audi's with 100k. If looked after properly, these cars go on and on and.......

Looks like there is a good reason then why that car was so "cheap" phew!

Dont worry about mileage, i ignored loads with high mileage but i have just bought a 115k miles rs4 and it is as tight as a drum you would never be able to feel/tell it is anywhere near that.

Like stated above, well maintained and a good history are key with these cars. And check all the common faults.
