Been dithering about my next car for a few months and have finally settled on an RS4 Avant. Have set myself a target to get it and celebrate my 25th year boys trip to Le Mans on the 8th June.
Do you seasoned owners out there have any tips on what to look out for - I am viewing one next week its an 07 plate with 56k on the clock in Grey metalic with black leather interior. Any thoughts on what I should be paying for this? I have been told between 25-28k depending on condition?
Any tips much appreciated.
The price range seems more than good value
Do you have the full spec of the car?
Is it under manufacturer's warranty? An Audi extended warranty costs £1655, but may not be worth it for at 60k miles (i'm not sure so stand to be corrected on the exact figure), I believe the level of benefits/coverage goes down.
Obvious issues of course are DRC - check that the dampers are not leaking, although Audi guarantee them 5 years/75k miles.
Sorting out scuffed wheels will set you back about £400
Check the seat bolsters - tend to wear, but may help you in your price discussions
Drive the car, but even better take it down to a dealership for a check-up. They may also be able to tell you about any major bodywork done on the car. Audi Camberley is excellent.
Hope you fulfil your dream
