Is this our man in Swindon again? This is the 3rd one now isn't it?

I do hope not....
If it is, he's giving Swindon a bad rep....
Well worse than what it already has

What's actually wrong with it? Looks very tidy.

£4,000 is cheap for a showroom. How many S4's do you get with it?

Oooo, I know this. This guy has been ragging the living hell out of it all round town, Asian bloke. Looked a little silly when he tryed it on to something non standard

.
Very hard driven, and driven like a loon, STAY WELL CLEAR ALL!!

Mike - can you identify where he is in Swindon?
I may go round for a look.

Think there was a thread about this one a while back and it's been clocked by about 50k miles.

The wheels on the clocked one weren't S4 rims. Obviously wheels are easy to change though......

Careful guys, this could be a genuine motor and as for "ragging the living hell out of it all round town" - who knows there could be other owners who occasionally rag the hell out of theirs around circuits!

And it does not necessarily mean that is a reason not to buy an S4, it depends surely on how well it has been looked after.
If their was a thread about this car being "clocked by about 50k miles." is it the same reg - bothered to check?
Difficult to tell from an advert the condition however in the photos it looks in great condition to me. And generally I think it is grossly unfair to flame a car without accurate facts or first hand knowledge IMHO.
So bring on the facts please.

Has he come back with photos yet? I'm toying with the idea of a B5 S4 and I
have the budget for this plus a re-build.
