Hey guys I have Macan GTS coming next month so after 4.5 years it is time to sell my pride and joy.

Thinking of £22,500. Thoughts on the advert below? Will take loads of pictures at the weekend.
thanks
James

I would imagine you would have traders enquiring at that sort of money. Sounds a lovely car with fantastic provence. There won't be many cars around still under Audi warranty and under 60k miles, so still relatively cheap to extend if you wish. My last one had similiar history and mileage incl audi warranty and sold for a bit more and that was last year!

B7s with the right provence are only going one way :thumbs:
Congrats on the new car btw

Wow this sounds a mint car! Can i ask though what did changing the clutch switch do? Do it stop the weird feeling pedal when you rev high?

I changed the clutch switch on mine recently as the cruise control wasn't working and you had to hold the start switch for it to start. Cruise control now works and car starts as soon as you press the button.

Gotta say, you win the ''random question in a sales adverts'' award. Don't think anyone has ever come up with as many strange ones as you.

What asking if someone wanted to sell a flat bottom wheel separately as he also had a multifunction wheel and i was curious as to why this part was changed as my clutch doesn't come all the way up when i beat my car so thought maybe this was the part. Cant ask any questions on this forum jeeez, not like any others ive know audi-sport.net, 350z-uk, subaru pages. Maybe rs4's are driven by upper class snobs

Good job I don't drive an RS4, huh.
Might be worth asking if anyone has some full stops for sale :thumbs:

OP, Good luck with the sale.

thanks guys. The interior looks almost as new. Having it detailed next week and then will post loads of pictures.

So £24,500 more reasonable?

No, keep to your original price and be prepared to make a deal, should you get any interest.

Avus Silver is a very slow mover hence why a lot are low mileage examples...they just sit around on dealer forecourts.

A forum member had a very similar car for sale in the summer, it was a 2007 with full Audi history and just over 60k on the clock - he started at mid-20's and had to drop below £20k before it attracted a buyer. It's the RS4 Avant’s in Blue, Grey and Black that attract the premiums unfortunately.

Good luck with it though and the Macan is a lovely SUV to have.

thanks guys. Had 4 PM's already and not yet for sale. Will get pictures up at the weekend, she is a beauty.

I believe it is the only B7 RS4 still under Audi warranty.

Mines still under an Audi Warranty so I guess that makes two.

Shouldn't hang around long, the good ones never do.

Mine was still under warranty when I sold it last week.
Good luck with your sale but sadly I think you may need to knock about 7k off.
