Both certainly within your budget but two differently specced cars.

On one hand you have an 06, lower mileage one with black optics, clear front indicators (bonus on 06 cars) and carbon interior but me personally, I'm not keen on the black wheels and carbon wrap roof (done in house by them, why? something to hide maybe?)

The other car is a little younger but comes with ultra rare sunroof and fridge options, coming home, anti dazzle and tracker. Slightly higher mileage and aluminum interior instead of carbon.

Difficult choice!
If it was my money the carbon interior wins for me as thats where I'd be spending more of my time but I would be asking for the carbon roof to be removed pre-sale.

I think the one with the optics and carbon roof looks a bit 'pimped' for my liking...

I purchased mine from them, and, whilst i've had no problems whatsoever i'd have to agree with Pie - why have they carbon wrapped the roof themselves? From my experience they don't have anyone capable of doing a good job of that, and i'd have to suspect they've done it for a reason. Of course this is purely my opinion.

I Agree with Duncs3. Got my RS4 Avant back in March 10, 56 plate. Had a choice of standard or slightly pimped up one. You have to ask the question, Why do the roof is they are not specicalised in doing that work. It's 25k so go with the standard one. You can always mod it later.

i would keep looking mate, i spent over 6 months looking for the right one, looked at over 6 or 7 cars till i found it, have a look though the forums, do lots of reading, things like disc's and pads are a big thing, DRC, these are major things to look at. part of the fun of buying a car like this is the looking, there are plenty of dogs out there, just make sure you dont buy one :))

Good RS4s at the right money are snapped up in no time. These cars have been for sale quite a bit. Think that says a lot
