Cheers.

Hi, looks like a nice example.

Have you got details of any other work on the car;
When we're the discs and pads last changed - have they got much wear?
Any work on the Aux radiators?
Has the engine had a de-coke?
Says recent service and MOT - when we're these carried out and what was the mileage?

Thanks,

I’d advise you to drop the “fully loaded” and “every option” language before you get ripped to shreds on what otherwise seems like a decent car.

It doesn’t have every option (no sunroof or ceramics for example) and the hyperbole is not doing you any favours.

£23k seems a bit steep for 85k miles

So you bought a car for ~20k with crap DRC, get stung for a 3k bill and try and flog it for 23k to recoup the money, lol. Good luck

Was this originally from NI?

Ha ha ha! Good luck 23k is a sub 45k mile car, which has a great spec with all common issues rectified.

Thanks for all the (mostly) useful feedback and commentary, I am a relative newbie to the RS world, but have owned and bought and sold plenty of high performance cars in my life so far.
Whilst it hasn’t got *every* single extra, it’s got almost every, I know this because I’ve got the original spec sheet from when purchased new, and almost every extras are ticked. Far as I can see, it’s mainly only missing sunroof (I purposefully didn’t want one, as I’ve been reliably informed they routinely leak with age), and ceramics (again advised against this, as I don’t track the car, and use it as a daily driver), so I stand by its being fully loaded, all things considered.
The car was from Northern Ireland, looked for ages for it, but have changed job and am starting a house extension, together meaning it needs to go. Glad I travelled to get it. Had it fully mechanically inspected before travelling, and the mechanic said he wouldn’t hesitate to view it.
As for the price, it’s perhaps slightly optimistic at £23k, but having viewed about 20 B7s when I was buying, I know how relatively meaningless mileage is vs the importance of condition and quality of the car. The spec and condition of this far outweighed any of the ‘low mileage mint’ cars I viewed. This is a great example, mechanically sound, and aesthetically truly great condition. Lastly, I get that cars should have common issues rectified is one thing, but having “DRC checked and I’m told it’s all fine...” is one thing, but we all know the vast majority of DRC systems will go at some point, so rather than just keep the DRC going and hoping for the best, like the others I saw when hunting for mine, I had the DRC overhauled, and it now drives beautifully, with DRC warranty for peace of mind. I didn’t get stung, I made a conscious choice to get the car running 100%, as having tested coil overs vs factory DRC, there was no comparison for me for an all-rounder, DRC all the way.
I’m open to offers on price, but on balance, considering the quality and rarity of this example, and money invested, let’s see how we get on. I’m not in a hurry to sell.
I saw so many modified, sub-optimally maintained, average B7s when I was hunting for this; with service history missing, or servicing at high street garages, or ones which had major issues when inspected, so I know how good this example is, it’s got full service history at either the original Audi dealer, or Fontain, it’s always had whatever it needed, with original parts, it’s factory standard, unabused, unmodified, has a fantastic spec, in the joint best colour (IMO), with new DRC, and drives sweetly, never skips a beat.
Cheers all.

where abouts are you and where is the car currently advertised. thanks al
