On the hunt for an RS4.....what about this one??

Post by Sarnie » Sat Mar 22, 2014 6:46 pm

Hi Guys,

My first post on here!!

On my quest to own as many cars as I can before I die.......I'm after an RS4, preferably a cab. I've been looking at this one but just wondering if it's too cheap!?!?!

Here is is;

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AUDI-RS4-Cabr ... 2a39b03c5a

There is a Sprint blue one on Ebay also for over £2k more but also 20k more too. So, whats wrong with this Mugello one? I must admit I have no idea at the moment about spec etc so it could be poverty spec? The ad says it's HPI clear............so any opinions on it?

Cheers

Liam

Go and have a look, might be a bargain.
I was drawn to the inner bolster of the drivers seat - can't get a high res image, but it looks pretty warn..

I will go and have a look for sure, just thought there might be something glaringly obvious that a noob might not know about or spot.

I'll be putting up my M3 for sale this week probably as no doubt they'll try and spank me on the PX if I offer it to them...

I'd prefer another colour like sprint blue or misano, basically anything other than black as the classifieds are littered with them....

Yes there is many competitive insurance companies will not insurance car d cars unless they themselves have tagged the cat d on themselves simple as that!!!
And many add a 30% premium on cat d cars, check the forums dude it's fact!!
