So I have just bought this RS4 from a very nice chap on the outskirts of Leeds.
About 100,000 miles, 7 owners, loads of bills inc much money spent at MRC.
Dyno print out at 374.3PS which seems low?
Had a few plates in its time: RS04LMS, TON929Y and now back on SY07DVW
Looks like it has lived in London, Aberdeen, Cleveland, Leeds and now Bournemouth
Wingback seats, lots of bumper stone chips, a few assorted other scrapes.
Unfortunately it has cheap front tyres and worn Contis on the back.
Wheels probably need a refurb but otherwise seems good.
A little smoke on startup but then runs really cleanly and pulls well.
Having driven it back the 280 miles home pretty pleased with it so far.

"Dyno print out at 374.3PS which seems low?"

Sounds about right, they rarely make anywhere near quoted output

Was this the one on Autotrader recently?

Lovely colour and the bhp is probably right without a recent carbon clean

Will, yes it was the one on Autotrader recently.
I bought it from a really nice guy near Leeds on Saturday, who had had it for just over two years and who took a keen offer on it as he had too many cars.
Big folder full of bills and history way back to 2009 with a few visits to MRC.
Looks like it had a stage 2 remap and manifold, gutted cats, a DRC shock and a cold intake at MRC in 2015.
So would have thought there would be more power?
Its had a fairly recent clutch and also a carbon clean and 8 coil packs in the last month.
Seems to go pretty well but it does smoke a little on start up after being left overnight.
I have a 2015 M4 as well so they are a very interesting comparison, its very analogue ...

Sounds like a good buy with the mileage and history.

With a Stage 2 map + manifold and recent carbon clean id have expected 400-420bhp.
