Hi Guys!

I am looking for a RS4 B7 Saloon

I have seen one that I'm slightly keen on, but the colour is Avus Silver, I personally like the colour but not sure if it is good when coming to resell.

Also what to look out for?

And a lot of RS4's have mileage above 80k now, even 90k on some cars, are these cars okay to buy?

Any help would be great.

First place to look is the Buying Guide sticky thread http://forum.rs246.com/viewtopic.php?t=90255

+1 it's the best place to start. The pistonheads guide linked in that thread is good as well. Come back when you've read both

Avus looks great. Especially with matt dark alloys.

Milage: as has been said on here manys-a-time, milage really isn't an issue with these engines. I'd have greater hesitations buying a low milage one.

I have had a read, very helpful.

IS Avus silver rare in RS4 B7?

I think it was 3rd or 4th most popular colour after black, Daytona and sprint

It's a great colour in the flesh, changes with the light. Pictures don't capture it

If u can find am example that's had the big bills paid already, DRC, brakes and carbon clean that helps

Good luck

Also worth checking aux rads and oil cooler for leaks/replacement as they're both known weak areas.

I personally wouldn't worry about mileage massively aslong as service history is pretty good

Mine is up for sale at £15995 by the way and it's not cat C or D. Very straight and well priced

YoungBen's just put his up on pistonheads thats a minter lots of info on here about it

Mine's not for sale but just tipped over 80k and is immaculate. I wouldn't worry about that mileage on a car that has been loved, and I wouldn't touch a low mileage car that hasn't.

I didn't buy a forum car, found this place afterwards, but if I was looking again I would hold out for a forum car in good condition over something from a dealer. And as TAB1S said, youngben's car is more than worth a look.

What colour is ben's car?

Seriously? Ok, so far everything has been handed to you. Go to the sale section and work it out yourself. It's not hard. He's got 'Ben' in his username.

Daytona and it looks cracking

Are you from Bradford by any chance??
