Finding the right RS4

[GarethO]

Trying to find a black Avant with carbon trim but struggling to find one on the used trader market. I need to trade my Focus RS.
I've found a couple (IMO on the expensive side) but does anyone know of others? One being with Top Gear cars in Scotland and the other with Meriden (Ferrari dealer) down London way. Both in the right mileage zone (under 40k miles) but neither have the carbon trim (is this an expensive option? I know a set has just been sold in the classifieds section).

Also, I've only ever driven an Avant. Does the ride differ from the saloon at all?

TIA
Gareth

I must admit i do like the carbon trim,but if the cars is right apart from just that i would go for it.

At some point you will find a set on ebay for not to much,its suprising how many come up that are being broken

How much are you looking for for the Focus? Mine has Carbon and folding rear seats for the dog..

Hi, I was also looking for carbon trim (plus a few other things) and in the end found a car that was right that actually had silver trim. On the plus side is its a silver car, so the trim kinda works, but I ended up compromising. Guess my point is dont get to hung up on trim etc, as the mechanicals and condition are much more important!
There was a private sale in North Yorks I test drove, think it was higher mileage (52k) but a black avant in really really good condition!

I personally didn't like the carbon trim and found it a bit.... tacky.
However brand new it's somethin like 2k as it is proper carbon. You can get get existing trim carbon skinned for a few hundred quid and done professionally you can't see the difference.

You wont get it carbon skinned for a few hundred but you can wrap it in carbon 3m vinyl very cheeply or even do it yourself

Not sure on shipping - may make it up to about 500 quid max Id have thought.
The photos look stunning - esp the RS5 build blog.

I live next to this garage and went to school with Kier. Great guy and real car nut that knows his stuff. Couldn't buy from a nicer guy.

My family have had a couple of 911's and AMG's from him.

Seen the car the other day and is a good example.

Driven both I opted for the Avant...defo holds it's money better than the saloon, and is a fine drive....go for a nice Avant
