September 2018 - Now available again, read the comments

***not sure I really want to do this but...***

Come 2016, I think that I'll be advertising my Sprint Blue RS4 Avant for sale as there's a Porsche scratch that needs itching. This is just a feeler thread right now and I'll be upfront - there are already a few people whom appear to have expressed serious interest should I decide to sell.

Deep down, I'd really like to see this one off RS4 stay with an enthusiast, hence the heads-up thread before it potentially comes to the open market. Price is strictly upon application, PM me if you're seriously interested.

Thanks guys, I'm surprised how many ex RS4 owners have PM'd me :shock: Doesn't help me to think that I'm doing the right thing.


Another point to add - the car still meets the Audi criteria for the purchase of their Extended Warranty, should that be something you want.

Don't do it Sam! Fantastic car, and extremely well maintained.

I think I'll be looking up your detailer in the spring.

Stunning car

and getting rare nowadays to find one like this ... and for the likely price, not much can touch it ... B8 still +£20k and no better

This will sell very quickly as long as the price is not too high. If you're not in a hurry then I think you can get a very high price, but by the sounds of it you might get a high price and fast as you already have a few people interested.

I use the same detailer, you normally have to book up in advance, he's usually busy for up to 4 months
What car you after Sam ?

Now that's the way to photograph a car if you're looking to sell. Brilliant

Sam - Might be interested if it's got a Trups' LED and DRL kit :biggrin3: :biggrin3:

I'd find it very difficult to sell such a lovely unmolested example TBH. I looked in vain for a Sprint Blue Avant and had to settle for a Warburton's red one. Don't do it, you know you'll regret it :boohoo:

Sale Agreed - Sprint Blue Avant - Huge OEM spec

It's with a heavy heart that I've agreed a Sale and shall be driving it for the last time tomorrow, it's off for a fresh MOT with Audi.

The gentleman was the first person who was in contact with me and then come view the car. It should be leaving my possession in a week or so (gulp) :(

Thank you all, for the kind comments both publically and via PM.

I really don't know mate, Porsche got me started but I'm considering other options - it's so hard when the B7 represents such fantastic value for money. The Black RS4 will be up next to be sold, just need to sort a couple of cosmetic items on it first - badges and rings etc.
