2007 Daytona RS4 Avant - 22k miles

Post by Dom81 » Sun Sep 07, 2014 5:31 pm

Lack of use means I'm eventually getting off the fence and selling my original owner, ultra-low mileage B7 RS4

It's a brilliant spec, and fairly recent service & MOT - but unlike some on here it hasn't been detailed to an inch of it's life, and has some work needed to make it perfect (see The Bad) so the price hopefully reflects this

RS4 Avant - Daytona Grey
22,200 miles
Original owner (Registered April 07)
MOT till March 15
Full Camberley Audi service history (except MRC Sept 10)
Last work carried out (Oil Cooler replacement in Dec 13) received 50% goodwill from Audi due to mileage & service history
Early DRC issues like almost everyone (when we took the battle to Audi viewtopic.php?t=70803) but changed to new generation under warranty and it's been perfect for nearly four years

Standard Spec
Recaros - Silk Nappa leather (Black with Silver Piping) & Black Headlining
Flat Bottomed Wheel & Carbon Fibre Inlays
Clear Indicators

Options
Privacy Glass
Sports Suspension Plus
Tech Pack (Sat Nav, 6 CD Changer & Adaptive Lights)
Audi Exclusive factory build - Memory Drivers Seat & Auto dimming door mirrors with memory and dip on reverse (while still retaining RS twin-arm style)
Auto-dimming rear view mirror with light & rain sensors and coming home function
Automatic Air Recirculation, with active charcoal filter
Rear Side Airbags
Tracker (with full online journey history, geofencing etc.)

Mods
MRC Air Filter
MRC fitted Miltek Non Res, Non Valved

Other
Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta 255/35 R19 96Y XL 6mm all round
3 Keys with original OEM RS4 Keyring (unused)
RS04 plate included in price

Service History
Oil Change at 1,500 miles (Mayfair Audi)

16/05/08 DRC Inspection (Camberley)
Replaced 2 x Front Dampers & 2 x Valves

9/01/09 Service (Camberley) Mileage 9,525
Replaced 2 x Front Dampers
SW090 Upgrade

15/02/10 - Fit new Front Pads

17/02/10 MRC Health Check

25/03/10 MOT (Camberley) Mileage 13,457
17D7 Oil Cooler Pipe campaign

30/09/10 Service (MRC) Mileage 15,320
Changed Brake Fluid & Plugs
Fitted MRC Air Filter & Miltek Non Res, Non Valved

18/03/11 MOT (Camberley) Mileage 16,275
Replaced NSF Damper

15/03/12 MOT & Service (Camberley) Mileage 18,371

20/03/13 MOT (Camberley) Mileage 19,953

16/12/13 Service (Camberley) Mileage 21,012
Changed Brake Fluid
Replaced Oil Cooler & Lines

11/03/14 MOT (Jack Barclay) Mileage 21,583
No advisories

The Bad
Parking grazes to front & rear bumper (including 2 marks to grill surround)
Shallow scratch on bonnet (some kids jacket / glove in snowball season)
Wheels have never been refurbished, and have slight / modest marks
Small windscreen chip (away from field of vision) - 4 years old and never spread

I haven't posted much on the forum lately (500 miles in the last 6 months hardly warrants it!) but the car's whole history from order onwards is here - including my last feeler viewtopic.php?f=35&t=109190&p=664704#p664704

Consensus seems to be around £27k for a mint example, so allowing for the work needed to achieve this I'm asking £24,500

Apologies for the delay in posting pictures and reading / replying to PMs

First refusal currently lies with a former (multiple) owner from the site, so until he's made a decision please understand that I won't be arranging any further viewings

I've attached some very basic photos - let's say not of advert quality, and to satisfy Rule 1 as much as anything...

Looks fantastic, only 1 question:- why were the front dampers changed twice?

When the early versions first started to fail, there was neither upgraded parts nor (in some instances) the experience or the correct re-pressuring tools to rectify it. I was at Camberley so the issue was only parts not expertise or equipment. Almost all of the failures were to the front, with rears normally only replaced in the misguided belief (early on especially) that you had to replace diagonal pairs

All a long time ago, and the latest generation are holding up just fine...
