Looking for a B7 RS4 Avant £19k budget

Post by **joesnow** » Thu Sep 13, 2012 10:51 pm

Been trawling the net on the usual sites looking for a phantom black, daytona grey or sprint blue avant. Got a budget of upto £18k.

Anyone wanna sell theirs?? Thought I could save you the cost of advertising.

Cheers
Joe

Your not going to get a very good example for 18k mate... Especially an avant; there slightly higher in price

I have just put a deposit down on my avant with an asking price of £18,750. The only thing I had to compromise on was the mileage, which at 70k was a little higher then I wanted. However the service history was very comprehensive, and the owner fastidious -which therefore justified it for me. My advice would be to live on Pistonheads all day, and act fast if you see one which meets your requirements.

Your right they don't seem to hang around if they are a genuine car at this price range.

Mileage isnt a big concern for me as long as it is backed up with extensive service history and receipts as it won't be my daily drive.

There is one on here being sold by voyager162 but think it may have already gone.

you will get one for that price but the mileage will be slightly higher BUT this does not mean the car will not be a good car

miles are not a problem for the car

condition and service history are

Budget now up to 19k if that makes much difference.

Lol. Thought I had managed to secure one but had to go to 19 to get it. It was definitely worth it but looks like the seller may have pulled the plug as ignoring my calls and texts. Bit gutted to be honest as a ordered the money into the bank ready to collect this morning. I've gone from a kid on Xmas eve to a teenager that's need dumped by his first girlfriend.

don't worry something will turn up- that car was not meant to be!

There must be more to your wish list than just colour and body type, as I can see about 4 on PH at the moment that meet those criteria. This is the most expensive of those I found, which has been on a couple of weeks so there might be some negotiation on...

Yeah sorry should have been more specific but must also have buckets, fbsw and sat nav. As said before mileage isn't a big concern as long as its backed up with service history and documentation so will consider anything upto 80k.

I think you may have to up your budget to get a avant to 20k or 21k as your shopping list has got longer,

I know if I could up my budget then I would have a lot more cars to choose from but I'm not in any rush so it just means waiting for one to come along in my price range that meets my requirements. There has been 4 in the past week that have sold that I would have happily purchased.

Got to be able to get him down a grand if he needs to shift it, worth a call.
