Sad day indeed, but needs must and high mileage RS4's will go cheap, so you made the right choice, with a remap the oil burner will fly. Best regards Jberry100 wrote:Well that's the dirty deed done, the RS4 has gone back to Audi to find a new home.....

I realise tuners have been discussed before, but which is best for the upgraded 3.0 tdi engine that is in the A5?

What's the point of having the car if you have to worry about mileage, it's certainly not a car to keep tucked away in the garage....It P***es me off when everyone just looks at the mileage, these cars go on forever, what about looking on the paperwork and how it's been looked after, rant over.Sad day indeed, but needs must and high mileage RS4's will go cheap, so you made the right choice, with a remap the oil burner will fly.
I would tend to agree Howard. I wouldn't worry too much about milleage when buying a car. There are far more important considerations such as proper servicing, whether it has been looked-after by an enthusiast and how those miles were accumulated. I agree that the average short-sighted buyer will see milleage/age as the measure of the car's condition.hbk wrote:Have to say the 7000 miles i covered in the RS4 in less than 3 months were the best miles I've had the pleasure of......What's the point of having the car if you have to worry about mileage, it's certainly not a car to keep tucked away in the garage....It P***es me off when everyone just looks at the mileage, these cars go on forever, what about looking on the paperwork and how it's been looked after, rant over.Sad day indeed, but needs must and high mileage RS4's will go cheap, so you made the right choice, with a remap the oil burner will fly.

I'll second that!hogster wrote:I have had mine for five weeks now and covered almost 6k, its a drivers car so drive it! I have had enough of getting cars and limiting my own usage when the only person its going to benifit is its next owner.
Totally agree! mine new one arrives this week and I bought it on the basis that I intend to do over 20k a year in her !! Surely if your doing shed loads of miles you want to do it with a big smile on your face. I'm always suspicous of low milage cars that have been sitting around on a drive or in a garage and never get used... Ive seen a few low milage B5's and couldnt understand how a 7 year old car has only done 40k??? Why? OK theres a cost thing petrol wise but surely if you fork out 50k ish for a car you can afford the juice... Besides thats what expenses are forhbk wrote:Have to say the 7000 miles i covered in the RS4 in less than 3 months were the best miles I've had the pleasure of......What's the point of having the car if you have to worry about mileage, it's certainly not a car to keep tucked away in the garage....It P***es me off when everyone just looks at the mileage, these cars go on forever, what about looking on the paperwork and how it's been looked after, rant over.Sad day indeed, but needs must and high mileage RS4's will go cheap, so you made the right choice, with a remap the oil burner will fly.

If you know what I mean.Not sure why you'd be suspcious of a low mileage car, I've just about done 5,000 miles in mine in 12 months... but thats only as we've moved house 10 months ago which means my wifes previous 3hr daily commute is now 15mins walk and I get the train to work...MEV wrote:Totally agree! mine new one arrives this week and I bought it on the basis that I intend to do over 20k a year in her !!
