Ex rental RS4, would you?

Post by abe froman » Mon May 09, 2016 3:55 pm

On the search for an RS4, just looking at whats available and spotted one with ceramics. The type of trader scares me to death but rang and got the reg, quick google search and find out it's an ex-rental car. Such a shame, but thinking thats a no go for me.

Would you?

I had an S4 rental. Fastest car I'd ever had. Went to the tip, it was great.

To answer your question, no.

Would you not class a leased car as a rental though? Just a thought.

Yes. Know it?

Was an interesting spec and price so had to ring them. But not my type of dealer.

It was on my Radar because of the brakes but like you, the dealer type put me off and the mileage was more than I wanted.

I think it may have been for sale with SSC last year?

No need for that

I had a rental whilst mine was in for ages and it was a pile, ruined brakes, no power, ropey as hell and stank of fags, I'd rather have had an a1
