Wow, that's crazy low miles!

Not a fan of the interior either. I like a darker red leather when everything matches but to still have it look like you just stuck red seats and door cards in a black interior just doesn't work for me.

I have red leather Recaros in my Mondeo and they look fantastic. Photos just don't do them justice.

Wood trim, on the other hand... Why didn't the owner just buy a Jag if they wanted a grandad's car?

Eyeball trauma or what!! That's the Audi 'Boudior' special edition, has it got a double bed in the boot..

Not my cup of tea personally but is it worth £15k considering cars go wrong especially if you don't use them much. Bet they robbed the owner who sold it.

I'd be abit worried about dried out seals and hoses and you can bet it's on longlife so all the fluids have been in there for 6 years.

Gotta say I am actually a fan, at least the wood is grey rather than brown, admittedly carbon would be better. I find the silver body / black leather and alu trim a bit boring and samey. This would be great for keeping and showing.

If it was a avant I would be VERY tempted but the saloon is just not big enough for my needs.

Valid points about the problems caused by under-use but all that is easier to rectify than body and trim damage!

Red isn't too harsh when mixed with black and carbon. Not very stealth tho...

That car's now sold - I would assume even on longlife service it would've timed out every 2 years irrespective of mileage? I came across the ad while browsing for an S4 saloon this week.

If correctly stored and used it should be OK, but can't see the point in paying a premium for a car unless it's going to continue to see such minimal use, which kinda defeats the purpose in owning an S4!

Considering what some people are trying to charge for cars with 10-15x the mileage, it probably wasn't a bad buy....

This one is pretty damn low mileage, and a decent colour combo, I would say that as it's the same as mine!

That drivers seat bolster looks like it has had a lot more miles on it....

Substantially more to look like that, unless they had a really fat arse

It could have just lead the London life for five years as a 5 mile a day school bus for the kids?!
