Reads well although car is too early for black optics and I think they got the back one a bit wrong (should be colour coded NOT black).
Saw this too and thought it sounded "fishy"

When I was looking for an RS4 I gave them a ring but after the conversation over the phone I decided not to travel the 3 hour round trip to view any of their RS4's. I felt that they couldn't really be bothered speaking to me and were extremely vague about the cars.

That was just my personal experience with them.

If that car is genuine it is an extremely good buy, but as they say:

"If it sounds too good to be true....."

Well, you know the rest!!

Wellzie, definitely factory optics?
In my head (which could well be wrong), I see optics as part of the 2nd phase of options which also brought in ceramic brakes, possibly in line with 2007 model year (starting mid 2006)
The first cars were 2006 model year, as someone else said before some of the early 2007 model year cars have got tangos so could have optics as well.

If you buy a lot of RS4s and sell them with what appears to be an attractive Sticker price, you are going to inevitably buy some sh1te somewhere along the line considering the number of dogs out there.

Based in Bradford, you are going to deal with a lot of Badmans and his cronies.

Totally agree there Necks. Going by the grammar and spelling on the adds who to say Badmans does not work for them...now that's food for thought.

It is shocking, and hard to believe that owners would let these cars get into such a bad condition. Just goes to show its worth buying a forum car.

No catch; these guys are very aggressive in their pursuit of B7 RS4s. Purely from a business perspective hats off to 'em.

Their mods are not to my liking, but they turnover alot of these cars so there's obviously a market.

Buy from these bandits at your own peril, i made that mistake and ended up spending another 2k sorting out the car, the warranty they supply is not worth a toss either.

new radiator, oil cooler and pipes and a few other minor stuff which i now know i should have picked up but was being pushed by the guy to conclude and go, i also had come down all the way from Scotland and wanted to get home etc.

I have learned my lesson the hard way, hope no-one else learns it like me.

Plenty of threads on this mob btw, nealy as bad as Kailey trade centre(sp).

They are only about 1 hour away from me and always had a few RS4's in stock, but I steered clear of this dealer and Keighley trade centre when I was looking due to reading bad reviews.They both seemed a bit dodgy .I remember money laundering being mentioned in one review I read, although I have no idea if this is true or not.
