I'm selling my car due to upcoming house purchase, have a little read and let me know your thoughts... I can't seem to upload photos, so please see the advert on Piston Heads.

Sprint Blue Audi RS4 4.2 420 bhp saloon. Full service history, MOT due March 2018, registered in March 2006 so in lower tax bracket, has been upgraded to the very rare RNS-E MK2 LED screen Sat Nav. The DRC has been replaced with Bilstein B14 adjustable coilover suspension and the exhaust now has the Miltek resonating non valved type. Brand new Pirelli P Zero rosso tyres all round and recently refurbished 19" twin spoke alloy wheels.
This is a weekend car and is garaged every night.

Black leather heated wing back seats, flat bottom RS steering wheel, carbon fibre inlays, black headlining, adaptive xenon headlights, auto lights, DRL & home lights, auto wipers, auto dimming rear view mirror, speed sensitive power steering, cruise control, dual zone climate control, bluetooth phone prep, front and rear parking sensors, tyre pressure monitoring system, bose sound system.

I'm looking for one.

Did you see this sprint blue car advertised as looks a fair comparison on paper but yours is priced a lot higher. I'm going to contact this one on my return.

wdagraca's car looks preferable in my opinion and can probably justify the price.

Can't comment on the mechanical worthiness but know which I would favour.

I would Shop around too if I was you, this is my second RS4 and I know what a good one is worth.

So you know the other car advertised?

I've seen and driven/been in a couple so far but no where close to highly educated on the car so could you point out why wda car justifys the difference please in your eyes?

I just know that there is a reason some RS4's are advertised for 10k and some for 25k, as a consumer you decide.

Clear indicators. Original colour wheels. Original painted calipers. Carbon interior trim. Auto lights, wipers and dimming rear view mirror. Most of which is personal preference and does not reflect the condition

Cheers, now you are thorough!! see I was looking at two sprint blue cars, cheaper one with less miles, both on coilovers, didn't notice trim but I like both and I'd prefer with a sunroof.

The 10k and 25k cars are different for many reasons and not like for like on any of the major considerations.

I'm sure they're both great cars.

Wda I did mail you back.

As long as you enter into a car purchase with your eyes open and know what to look for you come out on top.
I'm having trouble with private message at the moment, I know cars but not so good with internet stuff...

Forgot to mention, the car is booked in for a service at Norwich Audi this Thursday.
