RS4 at Fontain

[craigw]

Does anyone know it? X plate 34k miles, £34000, seems to have most toys on it. Am I missing anything ?

cheers guys.

Not sure. A few months ago, Fontains RS4's were selling the day they arrived, for even more money than the one that you're talking about, with more miles aswell. Perhaps the market has changed, or the car's a shed.
Have you been to see it?

[craigw]

No, not yet, have been in preliminary discussuins re part ex for my Maserati. The car seemed to have be have been there for a while which was why I wondered if anyone knew it. I'll go and have a look as soon as I have time.

Anything I should specifically look for ?

Make sure it drives nice and tight and doesn't make any un-toward noises. Check for the usual smoking and make sure the performance is what you'd expect from a 380BHP car. Try driving a few to get a feel - as they do differ significantly in some cases.
Call Audi Uk on 0870 0105671 to check history, spec and warranty entitlement. Not sure what Fontains warranty is like so you may want to invest in an Audi one instead.
If possible try and speak to previous owner to ascertain his view on the car.
Seems like a nice spec and I'm suprised it hasn't gone already. Let us know what you think when you see it.

Best of luck,

Ben

I looked at this car about 6 weeks ago, it had just come in and had not been cleaned. Bodywork looked very straight wheels not scuffed.
Seats are in high tech ali fabric and leather which looked very dirty, the sales manager said that the car was as good as sold and would not take any offers.
I think that they thought that I was a time waster as they did not take any of my details. I have recently put a deposit on a high spec RS4 (Private Sale) which has Audi extended warranty.
I believe the original price for this car was £34,995 and that it has recently been reduced.
Hope that this is some help to you.

wow, thats weird, I was just about to post asking if anyone knew this car but you guys beat me to it, looks ok doesnt it.

[bjacks]

It does

Get yourself along for a drive - even if it's not right - it's another car to compare others with. Must say, the spec/miles are pretty decent indeed.

Good luck,

Ben

Make sure it is the bumper and not the whole front end!

With those sort of miles I wouldn't have expected too many stone chips so just beware they're not trying to cover anything up.

Cheers

Hmm, closer to me than you Paul and I haven't heard of them either.

[craigw]

it's apparently the back bumper which was "scuffed"
