Bradford + RS4 = be warned.

Simple.

Why?

We have seen the largest amount of badly repaired, badly modified examples.

Can you post a link to the RS4 in question so it gets a fair justice.

For some reason i knew it would have black wheels and a black strip under the rear boot before i even opened that link lol...

A certain car garage ( cant remember name) in Bradford specced all there RS4 with a wrap back optics kit and black wheels thinking that they will sell due to demand.

If it had a proper black optic kit the rear boot strip would be colour codes to body.

If i was you i would not buy this car.

There are plenty more out there.

Do a search on here for "Bradford" and read some of the related articles.

"Dealer" in Bradford who'll only supply a mobile number, selling an RS4 with questionable modifications way too cheap and without a warranty.... what could possibly go wrong?.... :shock:

As the others have said, be extremely careful.
