B7 RS4 future owner... from France

Post by pandavet » Sat Mar 26, 2011 5:25 pm

Hello everybody,

Well, as french Audi forums are always talking about "waou, what a great lowered suspension, what a great color, or what a great S line kit for your so powerful 20" wheeled TDI", I register here because I was told about the high technical level on RS246. :mrgreen:

So, let me introduce myself : my name is JP, I'm living in south west of France. I'm married and we have a 16 months aged little boy.
However, as a true froggy, I apologize for my english. :mrgreen:

Well, I owned my first Audi (a brand new 8P A3 TDI DSG) in 2004 (a big mistake...), then a 2003 b6 A4 Avant 1.8T Quattro : this was a revelation. Back to a gasoline motor, my first quattro, and I realise that all those S/RS were not so unreachable. So, I bought my b6 S4 Avant in 2007, a wonderful 2003 model, brillant red, and almost full options. A true naturally aspirated V8,... ( some photos just here : http://gt.passion.free.fr/S4_Avant_Bril ... du_S4.html ).

I think I reached a good technical level in B6 S4 specificities and I hope I could help on these forums. :beerchug:

But this S4 has been sold last week (time to change), and now, I'm looking for a b7 RS4 Avant. :FIREdevil:
Hard to find, but I keep going... :thumbs:

P.S. Presumably you're looking for a LHD one... You never know, you could always ask in the RS4 forum. Used to be that you could find the odd B5 LHD on the market, and forum cars are generally preferable.

Not at all, I probably will import the car from Germany. More choice, more options, and perhaps a set of winter tyres in bonus...

But I have a hard to find combination (no bucket seats, Recaros seats with memory) and strict specifications (sunroof, RNS-E, "flat" steering wheel (sorry, I don't know how to translate it), 19" wheels, no ceramic brake system).
And a full fonctionnal DRC. Ok, I'm joking... :mrgreen:

I found 3 ads on mobile, and checking is ongoing... :thumbs:
