Thanks for the post, we quickly sourced one from Pistonheads which ticked all the boxes and a deposit has been paid, collection next week.

Your car sounds an amazing spec and with some lovely provenance too, GLWS when you come to sell.

Evening gents, Been a member on here for ages now but this post is on behalf of a friend who is currently in the market for a B8 RS4. Would rather an enthusiast owned car than taking a gamble at a secondhand car dealer, no specifics although not a massive fan of black as a lot of the drama of an RS4...

No but the sun hasn't helped quell my desire although it's looking unlikely it will be an RS4, think I am going to go E93 M3.

Grateful for everyone's input though.

Thanks for the advice, all the ones bar 2 on AT at minute are from a garage and I would much rather by from a private individual who has some knowledge of cars history and most likely an enthusiast.

Will keep looking.

I know it says last owner for 4 years but check the history of this car very carefully, I would expect to see invoices for the work that's been 'done' - there was a very similar Misano Cab for sale about a year ago but in a very poor condition being sold cheaply. I remember it having the Miltek and...

I did call the dealer this afternoon at 3pm and he said he would rig me back with all servicing info etc. Still not heard back......

Si

Ah ok I see what you mean, indeed it seems something you need to keep on top of but was thinking it’s one less cost in the immediate future if it’s been done recently.

Would rather DRC has had some attention over a de-coke to be honest.

Si

Really I thought these suffer from massive coking problems and are often down on power because of it amor am I getting confused??

Si

I have called the garage to discuss the history and establish what if any DRC and/or de-coke maintenance has taken place so waiting to hear. Agree it looks a tidy example with nice miles.

Si

Yeah that’s a fair point, this is the car in question - https://www.cheshammotorgroup.co.uk/used-cars/search-results?make=AUDI&model=RS4+CABRIOLET&vehicleType=cars Few little cosmetic bits that look tired and could do with being replaced but it’s 12yrs old, mileage is good as appears the history. Si

Yes it’s particularly the colour I wanted, the non bucket seats helps as from reading up they encroach into the rear seating space quite heavily and my daughter will be sat back there quite often. Spec wise I can only see that it has the carbon inlays, doesn’t seem much else spec wise that could be ...

Morning, With the exception of the usual ‘hairdresser’ comments which I have suffered on my ‘wanted’ thread lol!!! What do people think of this, I keep looking at it as after a Misano Red cab and this ticks that box. Nice miles, Miltek already plus clutch and recent brakes, no mention of carbon clea...

Still looking, seen a lovely Misano red cab at a dealer but the reviews I have found on internet are less than favourable regarding the dealer so done no more than repeatedly view the ad at present!!

Si

Sounds a good example although pictures would be good, also I am guessing you North of the country given Dundee Audi are listed during your bosses ownership??

Si

Thanks for that, will have a good look at them in that case as like you say its not the end of the world but after spending on buying the car it always hurts to then sink another £1k or more on repairs. Everyone is very complementary about the system itself so would like to have it in tip top shape....
