As some of you will know I've been umming and arrr-ing about the possibility of having to sell my Avus RS4. Not through choice - I'm facing a £300/month pay cut from 1st May and I simply wont be able to cover certain bills, so I need to free up some cash...
I'm posting this here rather than in the For Sale Section, as I'm feeling people out as I'm looking to sell the car in June, not now. I'm needing an Avant for my trip to Le Mans which is 13th June, so will be looking to sell immediately after that.

At the SRS Surrey Rolling Road managed 447bhp and 440ft lbs.
The car's been seen by many of the forum members on here and is in fine shape. It's had sensible mods done and well cared for during my ownership. I was intending on keeping it and add larger DPs and the FMIC I have sitting in the garage, to take it up towards 500bhp and leave at that, but to be honest it's plenty quick enough as it is. It was also shown in this month's Audi Driver Mag - that's got to add at least 10% the sale price hasn't it?!
It will be up at the MRC/SRS RR Day in April if anyone's interested in seeing it/going out for a wee test drive.
I'm looking for a forum member to buy it, not just because it's easier to do so, but I want someone to enjoy it and continue looking after it. I'm not interested in swapping the interior either before I get bombarded by PMs !
As it's in such good nick, with the right mods, I'll be looking for sensible offers, so please don't waste yours or my time by offering anything around £15k, as I wont be selling it that cheaply...
I'll be looking to stay with an Audi, and seeing as I've come to really enjoy the engine in particular I'll probably be looking to buy a reasonably well specced B5 S4. If you have an S4 with low miles and ideally not silver (would like something else for a change!) then PM me for maybe a PX with cash in my favour.
Cheers...
