Beware.... Misano Red S222 ... (cant remember last three)

Post by RS2_Russ » Thu Jul 14, 2011 12:14 pm

Hi Guys,
Just a heads up. Been looking at a Misano Red B5 RS4 at a local dealer. After getting it inspected, it turned out it needed new discs+pads, new tyres (I could see that!), new front+rear suspension arms and quite a few pipes replacing. Big one though: both camshafts were wearing badly and would need replacing. This was the second set on the car (first set at 43,000 miles; the car now has 86,000 miles - how symmetrical is that?
The dealer has just sold the car to the trade, so there could be a Misano on the market soon (can remember "S222 ..." part of reg) that might just need £6000+ spending on it :thumbsdown: .....take care out there.

I think this RS4 was for sale just up the road from me a couple months ago, at a place called BM westcountry. I have seen it a couple times. I was going to make an offer on it back then, glad i didn't now though :biggrin3:

Well it's extremely close to the previous seller (also in Exeter)... ...they've done up the paint (a lot), but I bet it still needs £6000 spending on it...

Good spot AndyEvo.
