SOLD: 2006 (06) B7 Sprint Blue RS4 Avant £16,500

[P_G]

THIS CAR IS NOW SOLD AND AWAITING COLLECTION. SAD DAY

I am thinking of dispensing with my RS4 and SEAT Ibiza so I thought it best to put out feelers on here for newbies or visitors to see if anyone is interested in buying my RS4.

As many know who read what I post I wanted to get away from using the RS4 as my daily commuter and bought a SEAT Ibiza last year as a work hack which has been great. However recently I haven't had to make the commute as regularly so there are weeks when both cars sit outside my house for 4-5 out of 7 days doing nothing and as much as I love the RS4, it is now at a point where both are a waste of money.

So it is with a extremely heavy heart I am thinking of selling. I'm not sure what I will go with next, my head says something more economically in one package but the economics of my next Purchase have to ensure it is less than what I am paying now otherwise there is no point. But equally I need to see what I can get for the cars. So the RS4 details are as follows;

2006 (06) Sprint Blue RS4 Avant with standard Optics
I am the 2nd owner, purchased in September 2007 with 16500 on the clock from Harold Wood Audi
98638 miles currently but still being used as a weekend car
Full Audi Service History; 1st service at Harold Wood Audi and the remainder including most recent one at 98500 miles at Tyneside Audi
Oil changes every 5-6,000 miles, last one at 94,500 miles, Always allowed to warm up before used hard and spiritedly driven once to temperature to ensure good running
Discs replaced in last 10,000 miles, no visible lip on fronts or rears, running EBC Yellowstuff pads front and rear with Goodridge s/s braided hoses and standard DOT 5.1 fluid
DRC in perfect working order, two front shocks and valves replaced at approx. 32,000 miles and maintaining 15 Bar pressure
Battery well TSB completed
Recaro Comfort seats in excellent condition
Carbon Fibre Inlays
Flat Bottom steering wheel
Tech Pack (sat nav, Light rain pack + Bluetooth) + 6xCD player in glovebox
Storage pack
Manual side blinds (retrofitted)
Heated Front and Rear Seats
Auto Dimming Rear View Mirror
All usual RS4 options
Wheels are in excellent condition, sealed with G-Techniq C5 and all shod in Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta 275/30 R19 96Y XL tyres with 7mm all round having been installed 3-4 months ago. Minor marks on offside front rim, rest are pristine and true; completely stripped and refurbished earlier this year by the Wheel Specialist in Newcastle

Modifications that would still be left with the car;

Audi DTM Carbon Fibre front splitter
10mm H&R hub-centric rear spacers with longer bolts in situ
Audi R8 Oil and coolant caps
Intake Manifold de-flapped, ported and polish by Revolution approx. June 2011
De-coke at 89500 miles performed by Revolution December 2011
DRL and fog Light bulbs replaced with PIAA bulbs and headlights replaced with 2007 MY (de-tango) versions


There are plenty of pictures up here of my car to get people started and those that do their research know this car is maintain irrespective of cost and treated with mechanical sympathy. It is still on its original clutch but no signs of slippage / no problems with clutch return pipe in the years I have owned it and the paintwork is near immaculate having been maintained by myself and Cambridge Autogleam along the way. This is truly an outstanding car, the best I have ever owned and still puts a smile on my face every day I start it up and use it which is why it has been with me 5 of its 6 year history. I will be very sorry to see the car go if it does as it is a fabulous car. Last Dyno run at Motoscope on a Dastek dyno has it at just over 420bhp and 315ft lbs of torque so it is in rude health.
Always run on V-Power of Momentum 99 averaging 22.1 mpg over the last 22000 miles, predominantly motorway miles with a tub of Wynns DIP3 injector cleaner petrol treatment every 5-8k miles put in the tank.

I am looking at around £16,500 OVNO given the condition of the car now the car is almost back to standard. Also has two keys, full leather RS4 wallet with all manuals and booklets and receipts for just about all work done on it if desired. Tax until February 2013, MOT until July 2013 and has passed last three MOT's with zero issues

I'll have some pictures up at the weekend when I get a chance to take some new ones / weather permitting but hopefully forum members who have seen the car will positively vouch for its condition.

great car

will do someone proud

[PJC]

GLWS.

Pity is has to go but hard to justify if it doesn't get used.

A well looked after car with sensible upgrades.

[Mr V10]

Nice car, that's a properly nice example. This is what people mean when they say - try to buy a forum car. GLWS, PG.

[stu]

This is one well looked after car! I've seen it at the group meet last summer and on the road in Newcastle. Good luck with the sale P_G

[victor2vt]

You won't find many owners who look after their car like this man !!

Big surprise you're selling Graeme, you know you'll regret it don't you

Anyway GLWS

[P_G]

Thanks for all the messages, just need to find a buyer now!

I should also say for those looking who want an OEM spec car I also have an original un-modified inlet manifold that I can let go with the car for those who do not wanted a ported, polished and deflapped version as is on the car presently.

[sonny]

This is and would be a great car for somebody looking at getting into RS 4 ownership. Dont be put of by the high miles, this car is gleaming inside and out.

Glws PG

For anyone that's interested, I had a quick nosey around P_G's RS4 at lunctime today (was shopping for something a little smaller...) - it looks immaculate.

[P_G]

Thanks Stu. Just for information, my RS4 will be put back to standard over the course of the next 5-10 working days so if anyone wants to view / consider it in current tune this is the time.

[P_G]

Advert now on Pistonheads

[scaghead]

not worth leaving it maybe a couple more weeks graeme before reverting her back to oem.....i am sure with the mods you have done, someone in the know looking for one will see that is a good buy??

[P_G]

You would have thought so but all the enquiries I have had to date have said that they would prefer it standard so happy to oblige them. Plus if I cannot sell I have a potential p/x on it and the dealer has already said the p/x price is irrespective of the equipment on so if it goes through auction I may as well put it back to standard, sell the mods and kae money on them whilst reducing the price of the car to make it more competitive to sell.

[scaghead]

some people are strange fella..out of curiosity how will you coke it back up for them

[HYFR]

Dont you dare px this car graeme
