Many thanks for your kind offer P_G. I'll keep it in mind :wink:

In case anybody doesn't know what an Avant looks like, here's one I snapped earlier.

Can't praise Drive N Shine highly enough. Good lensman too!

Daytona, especially Avant, looks so elegant. The last pics will really help sell the car. :thumbs:

Hi

Don't suppose this has the extended Audi Warranty & if not do you know if it could be applied?

Gorgeous car btw.

Regards
Leon

I took out the Audi extended warranty last year and the paperwork said that it had to be taken out before the original warranty expired.

Renewals also need to be done before the extended warranty expires.

Correct, but this car has just come out of warranty, and has been maintained by Camberley Audi. I expect it will be pristine.

Even if it does not have the extended warranty, a new one can be purchased after 100 point+ inspection that this car would surely pass. AFAIK, some Dealers do not charge for this inspection of you purchase the warranty from them.

From posts on here and on other RS related websites it appears that not all dealers apply the same standards when doing inspections, some Audi Approved Used RS4s have been reported as being in pretty dire condition.

Plus the warranty would not be the "full blown" Audi Extended Warranty, so it would most likely have more exclusions which would need to be checked.

Having said that it is likely that an RS4 maintained by Camberley Audi would be in good condition, as they have an excellent reputation for being RS enthusiasts.

I would nose around on here and get a feeling for how good the warranty is before you purchase! Its good but for the price alot isnt covered or seems at the dealers discretion which seems to vary massively
