Yes it does look good however, I'm after something with slightly lower miles something in the 50s.

I wouldn't say mine is heavily modified.

Each to their own though. If i was looking to buy one, i'd buy a modified one as the costs of std and modifed are far less than the cost of the mods....

I agree with mikeyquattro, buying an already modified RS4 is going to be a lot cheaper than doing the mods yourself. Wish now that I had taken this route when I bought the S4 now that I know what the costs are/will be to modify!!!

I bought a Black totally stock one and I'm modifiying after less than a month's ownership. Not costing me the earth either :D

i agree buying a modded car will be cheaper however, i want to experience the whole excitement thing when you go from standard to modded. becuase essentially your creating something different and i'd like to experience that.

It is a nice selling point I reckon to say it's got a new engine, I'd still want an MRC healthcheck and then all the usual 710N's and presure checks.

For just shy of 20k you are getting a good motor I reckon.

Exactly.

Engine is also under warranty...

And let's consider the point that you wish to remap - remapping from a new engine (after run-in and warranty period of course) I would suggest would be better than remapping a standard 70K mile engine, for example.

Providing this car is sound mechanically, like Contigo says, you're looking at a good buy for the price...

Marcus, Considered the Nogaro Blue car but that really isn't a colour for me.

What does everyone think of the below listed car - a lot of money and I'm not sure its worth all that cash but it seems like a nice clean car. Ableit could do with having the tints removed and the aluminium rails and door mirrors put back on.

looks like a nice motor and you will get a few months warranty on it from Nick if you ask. It's worth a punt.

Doesn't say whether the turbos were changed - the engines are all but bullet-proof!
