First Audi RS4 Avant

Post by CrackinNorks » Tue May 24, 2016 2:52 pm

Hi Guys,

Looking into buying my first RS4, i've read all buyers guides on here regarding common issues, DRC etc and done a lot of research!

Any of you eagle eyed people can spot anything untoward with this one from its AT listing?

I dont know. But you posted in the wrong section. Never noticed the roof aerial on any other one before but that might be for the TV.

Well, that's a B7 not a B8 for starters ;)

Other than that, there's not much to go on. It's not been photographed especially well so hard to see panel alignment due to the photo contrast etc but from what I can see looks straight. No mention of former keepers but presumably low.

They're asking top money for it, so expect impeccable service history and signs of major preventative maintenance being carried out (oil cooler pipes, aux rads etc).
Believe only the man who has nothing to gain from what he says.

Just noticed this! No idea how I ended up in B8!

Typical trade ad - although states 2007, conveniently forgot to say whether it is a 56, 07 or 57 reg.....also 'forgot' to show the condition of the drivers seat bolster in the pics.
But having said that, looks clean enough. Has black optics pack, buckets (if you can get in and out of them without the frame sticking up your ar$e) and a sunroof.
But a call to the dealer will give you an indication if he knows his RS's (heated high back seats??!??), and of course there's nothing better than seeing it in the flesh!

I thought you spotted something and were testing us. But now I think you were just asking for opinions, right?

I know a bit about the RS's but not as much as most of you forum monkeys ;)

So I am appreciating all the opinions!
