Seems cheap considering the mileage......wonder what gremlins may be lurking.......

That certainly does seem cheap, especially as, if you go to their website, they also have a black one with 67K on the clock for only £2K cheaper!??

IMO it's got silver leather and no sat nav. Not to my taste
Doesn't say that its mint, so might be scratched etc
tyres, brakes etc etc etc..............
Jeff, have a look and give us your opinion
Got to be looked at

yep, definately too cheap, either that or this dealer doesn't really know what kind of a car he actually has on his forecourt!
I picked up my Avus silver, with silver leather, with 20k miles and 1 owner for much more... ok so i have sat nav, however mine was absolutely mint though, this may not be... accident repaired maybe?
If not, and all else checks out, then definately a good buy for someone, we'll wait and see what Jeff reports back

Sometimes non-specialist dealers can't get their heads around trying to sell a 7 year Audi Estate for £30k and the main dealer that probably took it in px who is used to seeing new cars all day long will feel the same and value it accordingly.
He also may want to sell it promptly and get his money back into another car, you only have to look at that Bramley Goodwood RS4 with 8k miles @ £35k that's been up for sale for months - they even took it to the Autosport show to show it off!
Assuming he doesn't look on the web (and not many px'ing at main dealers do) the owner who paid £46k for it all those years ago will be over the moon that he still has 40% of value retained if he gets £20k in px - especially if he had an S4 before and got 40% back after just a few years.
Being a trader he has to disclose if it's not HPI clear but then he may only do this face to face.
It's definitely due a cambelt regardless of mileage just because of the age.
My motor trader guess is that it's good, probably needs money spending here and there but I look forward to Jeff W's report..

Maybe it's a firm and fair price for a reasonably quick sale?
He had a few S4s going through when I was looking for mine.

Even with only 20K on the clock it's would seem like an OK price...I certainly wouldn't pay the 10K premium for the 8K Goodwood one that is for sale. If was too cheap Nick Johnson would have been round and marked it up at 28K....
I'll have a look at the car over the weekend, I'll look at the black one as well...

Don't think the 'WAG' number plate would suit you though mate...
