Re: Finance

That might be true with other manufacturers, and independents who like cash, but at Audi it's all finance finance finance. They make more money on the finance than they do margin on the car. This. Always better deals available with finance on audi due to manufacturer contributions. If you are a cas...

Re: Exhaust fabricator

Thanks Mike. Will check them out. Very keen to keep the system looking stock but get a bit more of a growl.

Re: Exhaust fabricator

No help, but I want exactly the same thing for my 3.0t A6 and I'm done in Brighton so all ears!

Re: Finance

My understanding is that if you cancel within 14 days, the dealer loses their 'incentive' from Audi which is probably why they are being a little difficult. I think legally, you can though as they can't 'incentivise' you to use their finance. Otherwise, if you wanted to be nice to the sales woman, y...

Re: B8.5 S4 to B7 RS4

You're not missing much! The petrols are just very rare. It's the same engine as the S4 so will be able to create a very fast subtle estate. With a map and a pulley change etc it will be 450bhp + but look like a diesel. I get perverse pleasure from the sleeper thing!

Re: B8.5 S4 to B7 RS4

Ok, quick update. I've totally bottled it with the RS4 and put a deposit on this today. Pretty sure the dealer doesn't fully know what he's got. Couple of parking dings and needs a proper machine polish/wheel Refurb but otherwise very nice. Planning on a visit to MRC and a full detail/refurb asap. I...

Re: B8.5 S4 to B7 RS4

Really appreciate everyone's input and varying views. I have become very used to turn the key and that's it driving over the past 3-4 years as have run a couple of new Audi's. The more I look at it, the more I think that as a one car family, it's going to be too much of a leap in terms of big ticket...

Re: B8.5 S4 to B7 RS4

Where is the 'won't be able to sell it' point on mileage do you reckon? I.e if I buy a leggy one with 120k and put another 20k on it in 2 years, will it be completely unsellable? This looks very well cared for. . . I just found my dream car... Search for yours via Auto Trader #DrivenByMe http://www....

Re: B8.5 S4 to B7 RS4

Thanks for the responses. The tech doesn't bother me in the slightest, I just want (need) a v8 back in my life. I think my wife might struggle though as she loves the Stronic. I guess I need to go and spend a bit of time in one. The b8 RS4 is less appealing simply because I know the S4 with a pulley...

B8.5 S4 to B7 RS4

Hi chaps, I've currently got a 65 plate S4, but still can't help feeling that I should have gone down the B7 RS4 route. As a happy 'man maths' coincidence, I have persuaded my wife that by getting rid of the S4 for an 'older' audi it will be cheaper blah blah blah. Effectively I'm finding excuses to...

Re: Issues selling my S4 Avant

The only thing I would say from reading that advert is that it doesn't really give much confidence that you have really cherished the car. I.e reads like an ad where the person isn't really passionate about why they're selling. Not trying to criticise by the way, just conscious that if I was a buyer...

Re: Anyone know this car and thoughts??

Agree with Silverfox. I'd be very wary of anyone openly saying 'it's fine honestly' though. He doth protest too much perhaps?!

There seem to be a lot of people with maps (stage 1 & 2) who haven't had any issues though?

Last of the b8's

Having ordered my S4 avant BE in late April and still being without a build week, I've been doing a lot of chasing over the last week. I've had it confirmed today that I do have a confirmed order in with audi, but they are not taking any further S4 orders (or any Quattro A4 orders I believe) as they...

Re: B8 Limited Edition

Sounds fantastic! I'm amazed Brighton audi managed to call you though! I spent weeks trying to order my S4 through them a few months back and gave up as they just didn't seem remotely interested.
Look forward to seeing the pics when you collect! :)
