Price reduced again to - £19,500

Sorry for the lack of information in previous post. Had to post it quickly before going away for work.

Right..... I'm selling my B7 RS4 Avant in srint blue after owning it for 14 months. It's been a joy to own but it's time for something different. The car has had 2 previous owners and is sitting at the moment with 71,427 miles on the clock. I have covered about 7,000 miles in the time I have owned it. It has all the necessary extras I my opinion :- bucket seats, flat bottomed steering wheel, sat nav, carbon inlays, electric sunroof and black head lining. The car is totally standard and has full Audi service history. It is MOTD till the 15/12/15 and there was no advisories.

Services carried out.
14,179mls Longlife service - Ipswich Audi - 18/03/08.
24,807mls oil change - Ipswich Audi - 17/08/09.
31,624mls Longlife service plus brake fluid- Ipswich Audi - 02/06/10.
48,485mls Longlife service plus brake fluid- Kingslynn Audi - 12/04/12.
56,492mls Longlife service - Kingslynn Audi - 05/04/13.
65,516mls Longlife service plus brake fluid - Dundee Audi - 10/01/14.
70,891mls Longlife service - Dundee Audi - 20/01/15.

I have lots of receipts for work carried out on the car all of the Audi dealers

NSF and OSR shock absorbers were replaced at 48,485mls on the 16/04/12.
Front discs and pads changed at 54,876mls on the 24/01/13 still plenty meat left on both discs and pads.
4 new Mitchelin tyres fitted 11/10/2013. All 4 wheels were refurbed at this time as well. All tyres still have 5mm tread left on them.
Oil cooler and pipes replaced at 66,209mls on the 28/02/14

Bad points on the car - when I bought the car the exhaust flaps didn't work as the previous owner didn't use them. They are now stuck in the open position, which I think is no bad thing!! Sounds great!!
Ignition can be sticky very occasionally, hasn't really bothered me.
Rear discs will need changing at some point but 40% left on pads that are on.
One wheel has a very small scuff on it (the wife did it) it's only 3-4 mm and its only the powder coat.

I have tried to be as honest as I can. I think the advert on pistonheads has been hacked as I can't log on the change the price.
The price is negotiable any questions will be welcomed.

Thanks for looking

Chop the autotrader link from the long sequence of numbers - that way it doesn't include your home postcode. :thumbs:

Possibly? But not by much?

FASH *not* at 20,000 mile intervals is a big plus though. It makes me cringe when you see them serviced 2 years @ 20k, 4 years @ 40k, 6 years @ 60k. Nice regular oil changes :thumbs:

Add the dates next to the service - last one was clearly very recently?

Oil cooler pipes done, front discs and pads @ 55k, wheels refurbished, matching 5mm+ tyres, recent mot.... All major pluses - 'zero spend' for your buyer

Has the clutch been done? If so, mention it, again a big plus.

Autotrader mentions it - but you haven't in this thread - has sunroof

Exhaust valves stuck open is GREAT in my book!

Had an offer of 18k!! Seems low to me but don't know when the next offer will be.
New car coming in 5 weeks time so don't want to miss out and end up either missing out on my new car or having to trade it in even cheaper. Plus there seems to be a few sprint blue ones for sale just now.

Thought this would be gone by now. Reduced the price again to £19,500.

Had an enquiry and agreed a price but he asked for me to email by bank details so he could send me a deposit. I told him I wouldn't send them over email and for him to give me a phone. All contact had been through email and had never spoken to him and have not heard back. So suspect it was a scam.

Don't want to have to trade it in or give it to WBAC.

A transaction price of £18k is about right

I'd say 18k is too low. You are in Scotland though and buyers don't like to travel, so it may take a while to sell.

I thought It was low but new car arrives in 5 weeks and need to make sure it's gone so I don't loose out on the new car.

I traveled to Norwich when I bought it. Don't mind traveling for the right car.
Been to Belfast for a car before!!
