Chance of finding a Deep Green Avant?

Post by simundo777 » Wed Aug 28, 2019 3:36 pm

New member here looking out for a B7 Avant and stumbled on deep green being a standard colour back in the day and clearly wasn't popular at all.

A huge long shot but always worth an ask and I'd much rather buy a forum car.

Anyone own a deep green avant and thinking of selling?

I'm guessing I'd have to put colour to one side and buy on condition but got to start somewhere. :thumbs:

Cheers, Si

I saw one when the R8 was first launched. We were running some launch events for early depositors and a guy turned up in his RS4 and ordered his R8 in Monterey Green with Oxygen Silver sideblades so they (nearly) matched. Very cool - he even sent me a photo of them side by side when he took delivery. I’ll try and dig it out.

Happy hunting - I think there are more Solar Orange and Imola Yellows...

IIRC- a green B7 was for sale a while back,but i think it was goodwood.quite high miles.there was an Imola for sale on here.
I own a Noggy B7 which as far as i know is the only avant in the country

I know of 1 green RS4 Avant up near Aberdeen, had comfort seats in rare race cloth as well.

There was a low mileage, 1 owner green Avant on Autotrader a few months ago. It had silver leather interior and the ultra rare 18" wheel option (rare because they looked sh1te). It was for sale for ages, probably because the spec was putting people off.

They are out there but few and far between.

I really like the colour though, that and Mugello Blue look lovely in the metal.

Good luck!

Thanks for the responses. That Nogaro blue car is stunning and from the research i've done is the only one.

I guess the chance of one coming up with low miles, buckets, good condition etc are seriously slim so I'll do what I always do and get impatient and buy a grey one!

Will no doubt ask for advice if I find something to consider.

Currently got a Cayman 981 S which i'm going to sell so will get that up and then can move fast.

Been there so many times. My problem is once I think about selling and I start looking at replacements, I just can't get it out of my head.

Let me know if you do, I'd be seriously interested. If you don't then totally understand

I’ve got one. Probably the one near Aberdeen mentioned above. Comfort seats but cream Alcantara exclusive interior rather than race cloth. Done under 10k in 6 years but I’d regret parting with it I think.

Well I knew it had something special to do with the seats! Think I saw you at Glentress with it, in the upper car park next to the freeride area?

I think most people regret parting with a B7 RS4 going by the amount of people that find their way back into one.

Got a bit of a ribbing from the young lad about being sad and making a “car friend” after speaking to you 😂

FRIEND!!!!! Car Friend :thumb:

Yes, I had my red one with me that day but it was parked in the bottom car park.

The green is seriously nice in the metal, I did think about doing a colour change but decided to stick with red in the end.

I would keep it to be honest, very hard car to walk away from.

Rule 1 pal. :thumbs:

Agree with Coffee, they get under your skin big time! Keep it and enjoy it. 10k in 6 years is shameful, get out in it. :smile_smoking: what’s the mileage now?
