Anyone know this car...

Am 90% decided I'm in the market for a B7 RS4 (only slight reservation is a Porker might still sway me).

Budgeting up to around 25k. Must be an Avant, FBSW, buckets etc. And must not be black.

Spotted this car and was wondering if anyone knows it:

I think Sprint Blue's my favourite colour option, followed by Daytona Grey or one of the silvers. Mugello blue would be good too, but most of these seem to have the "wrong" seats and/or steering wheel.

Am guessing Autotrader and Pistonheads will likely have all available cars for sale, but if anyone knows of a car for sale that fits the above bill, let me know :)

Will undoubtedly be asking plenty of questions, but meanwhile am busy reading the FAQs etc.

I think they've taken new photos of it, but if it is the same one then when i enquired they told me it had a new engine fitted at circa 70k miles. Was originally up at £20,995, then £19,995, and was reduced on Monday this week to the current price.

Ah.

I'm sure I've seen a car advertised with that noted, but didn't register it as the same one (think that one said it was done under warranty?). Will do some digging (dealer has been very responsive to questions thus far).

I'm assuming engine failures are not common on these?

Edited to add I knew I'd seen one:

So there are potentially 2x Sprint Blue cars with engines changed at 70k...?

anyone who cant be bothered to take the time to wash the car and take some really nice pics is one to avoid i think personally ....parking an rs4 in a petrol station to take pics is not doing the car justice.

just makes you wonder what else they havent been bothered to do with the car
