Yep, finally got one. Hibiscus Red Avant. Will get some pics on next week when i pick it up. I do have a few questions about it though
Its done 82k, full audi history except for 2 or 3. When is the major service on the S4 ? what should've been done. When should the cambelt be changed ?
Also, wheels.......stock rims are in perfect nick, and to be honest it'll be a while till i change em, but will putting 18's on it ruin it ?
Thinking of BBS Chanellges. What width and offset ? 225mm and 25 et ?
many thanks all
oh, i must be the youngest too, paying 1800 quid fully comp from elephant ! (23 years old with 1 year NCD)

Cambelt should be done at 80k, you might want to get the water pump done at the same time. Was going to be around £800 (including service) when i enquired at my local dealer

Make sure that the cambelt work included the roller & tensioner and not just the belt!
Other than that, the major work is just spark plugs and air filter, every 40K so check that they were done recently.
The stock avus wheels are 7.5" and ET45. 8" and ET35 will fit. For ET 25 you're bound to need spacers.
Your insurance seems cheap to me - well done!

Insurance does seem cheap. I would still recommend greenlight though if you are modded.

bummer with elephant is they dont take direct debit, I left elephant and am with Admiral now, they do accept direct debit and they also seem to me damn cheap.

yeah, i phoned loads of companies and they all said if you can get it for that, do so, as they cant get anywhere near it.

The other problem with Elephant is the mods that they don't insure.
