Considering selling my Missano B8 RS4

Registered May 2015, 1 previous owner prior to me.
19,800 miles with a full Audi service history and two services completed to date, one an oil service with the second being done two weeks ago included the gearbox oil, air filter and brake fluid.
The front pads and discs are around 70% worn but I have new front discs and pads in readiness. The front tyres (Pirellis) are around 4mm and the rears are on 2mm but I was going to change to PS2's and have two in the garage ready. The plan being to buy another two when needed.
Optional extras:
Sports Exhaust
Missano red.
Storage package.
Comfort key.
Exterior mirrors, heated and electrically folding with anti glare on both sides.
Parking system plus with reversing camera.
20" V spokes. I have a single spare V spoke and a full set of rotors available at extra cost.
Driver seat memory.
Sports full leather seats (not buckets).
Heated front and outer rear seats.
Bang and Olufsen sound system.
Audi connect including car phone.
Audi active lane assist.
Adaptive cruise control.

My car does NOT have DRC or dynamic steering and I looked for quite some time to find one without as I personally prefer the drive, I also had an RS5 and eventually sold it because I could not get the DRC sorted. I understand this is a personal opinion but I would say try driving one with and one without as to me the car feels more nimble and direct but I stress that is only my opinion.

The inlays are carbon fibre and the exterior optics are the aluminium variant.
The paint work is in excellent condition with no dings or dents and from memory I would say that there are two small stone chips if that. The drivers side front alloy is curbed but the spare I have isn't so an easy swap round.
The manufacturers warranty runs until May 2018 so really this car is good to go and will need nothing spending on consumables for quite some time.

I haven't decided for definite if I am selling but am test driving an F Type on Saturday which if goes well will probably make my mind up for me.

Price wise the cheapest 2015 car on Pistonheads is 39k for a car with 30k miles plus. There are a few at Audi dealers for 42k and others up at 48k which is over the top. I think if I pitch mine at 40k and say that I am open to offers and see what happens.

This. I've tried explaining to people why you'd do this, and I got a blank look. :beerchug:

Yours looks like it has the Sports exhaust too?

Keenly priced imo. :thumbs:

I'm sure if people don't want to pay they will either offer less or pass. I'm only considering selling and based my price on a pistonheads search I also said that I was open to offers.
Thanks for your opinion though 🙂

Thanks, not sure yet. It depends as I'm looking for a beater as well to put the bikes on.

There's a nice 2000 B5 A4 Avant 1.8T quattro Sport (180) on the S2 forum atm. I love my B5 jalopy!

Looks nice but I need something that will do 40+mpg. I suspect that's going to do 30 max! Thanks for posting though.

Its undoubtedly far far better than my 2.8! :thumb:

Called into duty this morning popping to builders merchants this morning for a bath/shower screen to finish a bathroom, wanted the widest one I could find to stop water splashing on the floor, as I got back to the car I was like 'is this going to fit between the suspension turrets'......

Sorry to hijack the thread.

I need to get roof bars for my B8 S4 & I have the silver rails same as yours.

Current bars I have were fitted to the raised roof bars on the BMW (i.e you could put your hand between the roof & the rails), so I don't think they'd be any good for the Audi, so what do i need, do you know what foot pack I need, or have any pics? Will try my luck on ebay.

I have the Wing bar edge at the bottom of the page with two Thule cycle carriers. http://www.roofbox.co.uk/scripts/rbvehs ... ype=537291
