just become a proud S4 owner

[archboldm]

Hi all,
Just thought i,d post to share the good news that I am now the proud owner of an 03 S4 avant b6.Have been looking for an S4 or S6 for ages.Just missed out on a 52 reg S6 avant on ebay,105000 miles,he finished the auction early & took £6.5K for it ???? Still, happy with the one I got nogaro with £45K,full audi SH.

Obviously that doesn,t mean I paid 45K for it !!!!

If that was the one for sale in Aberdeen it looks like you got a good deal, he was asking £16,000 in the local press for that one last month when I got my one.

I'm from Stockton-On-Tees and just bought a 53 plate black S4.
Really wanted the Nagaro blue but never seen one available.

Just cleaned it, polished it then waxed yesterday and it looks the part.
Just hope it stays clean.

You should get some pics up once you pick her up. Hope you enjoy.

Cheers

Hi vxhalo,picked it up already & love it already.Got some grunt compared to my old car (W8 passat ).Not had a chance to play around with it yet,5 hours on a train to aberdeen to collect it,2 hours sorting everything out up there,then 5 hours back to Newcastle so I am knackered !! Will post some pix when I recover from Scotlag !! How are you getting on with yours ?Black is a nice colour as well & would have been my second choice,the thing about nogaro is that anybody who knows audi,s knows what it is from miles away !!!

I've had a series of turbo cars (Impreza STI leon cupra R and VX220 Turbo to name a couple) and find it a hell of a lot different. In some ways i like but I do miss the acceleration. Had to get a sensible car sooner or later as am getting old lol.

Is it alot different to the passat??

Really is a smooth engine and the interior is real quality. The mpg is better than the old STI and no young lads try to race every where you go.

So far i'm likely the overall package just wish I could afford an new RS. Suppose I can dream.

Hope you enjoy your car, get some pics up when you can

Cheers

will do mate,and as a matter of fact,my other half [the one with the money] test drove an RS6 on sunday,she wants an S6 avant but they only had an RS6 demonstrator at tyneside audi,all I can say is WOW what a car that is.Anyway,The audi S4 is vastly different to the W8 which is more a high speed cruiser than an out & out performance car.There are things I will miss about it thought,much softer ride<it had every extra available & slightly better fuel consumption.However,the audi makes up for it in sheer driving involvment !!
