Or why not just get a B8 and drop the C7 lump in it if you want to do that.
The RS5 is a B8?

A B8 RS4 is a bit more expensive as a base car, hence suggesting the RS5.

New one is most likely to be a V6 engine rather than the C7's V8.

No previous owner did it (12k) as a buyer you hold all the cards - so don't buy one without all known issues and tuning done....

Rule number One.
