RS246.com Forum :: The World's #1 Audi R, S and RS Enthusiast Community

Lack of use means I'm eventually getting off the fence and selling my original owner, ultra-low mileage B7 RS4

It's a brilliant spec, and fairly recent service & MOT - but unlike some on here it hasn't been detailed to an inch of it's life, and has some work needed to make it perfect (see The Bad) so the price hopefully reflects this

RS4 Avant - Daytona Grey
22,200 miles
Original owner (Registered April 07)
MOT till March 15
Full Camberley Audi service history (except MRC Sept 10)
Last work carried out (Oil Cooler replacement in Dec 13) received 50% goodwill from Audi due to mileage & service history
Early DRC issues like almost everyone (when we took the battle to Audi viewtopic.php?t=70803) but changed to new generation under warranty and it's been perfect for nearly four years

Standard Spec

The Bad
Parking grazes to front & rear bumper (including 2 marks to grill surround)
Shallow scratch on bonnet (some kids jacket / glove in snowball season)
Wheels have never been refurbished, and have slight / modest marks
Small windscreen chip (away from field of vision) - 4 years old and never spread

I haven't posted much on the forum lately (500 miles in the last 6 months hardly warrants it!) but the car's whole history from order onwards is here - including my last feeler viewtopic.php?f=35&t=109190&p=664704#p664704

Consensus seems to be around £27k for a mint example, so allowing for the work needed to achieve this I'm asking £24,500

Hi Dom, sent you a PM.

Sounds like a very nice example - any timeframe on pics or have you sold it already?

Apologies for the delay in posting pictures and reading / replying to PMs

First refusal currently lies with a former (multiple) owner from the site, so until he's made a decision please understand that I won't be arranging any further viewings

I've attached some very basic photos - let's say not of advert quality, and to satisfy Rule 1 as much as anything...
Happy to answer any questions

Dom

Gorgeous Daytona Avant - and a gorgeous London Mews too.

Looks fantastic, only 1 question:- why were the front dampers changed twice?

When the early versions first started to fail, there was neither upgraded parts nor (in some instances) the experience or the correct re-pressuring tools to rectify it. I was at Camberley so the issue was only parts not expertise or equipment. Almost all of the failures were to the front, with rears normally only replaced in the misguided belief (early on especially) that you had to replace diagonal pairs

All a long time ago, and the latest generation are holding up just fine...

See viewtopic.php?t=70803

Deposit taken (with very mixed emotions) - thanks to all those that showed interest
