Seem a nice car, specced well. Miles are fine for that year. Maybe a tad on the steep side price wise but I'm sure the dealer will come and go.
Only thing I noted from pics - why the two phone holders??

Depends on the deal you've been offered but it doesn't seem to have the full "tech pack" (no satnav, no multichanger CD), unless I've missed something.

You missed looking at the pics :) It has Nav.

I think the price is spot on..I paid £37K for a car with 20k miles.

Go for it ! (nice colour too, quite rare...I've had Avus TTs and it looks great even when dirty)

Have a good check on the front drivers seat. Looks worn but could be just the picture. Other than that, go for it. Lovely car. Usual checks re brakes and discs etc. E.g. make sure there is plenty of tread left and it's had new discs (I'm sure it will have had but you don't want to buy and then get a bill for £1k for tyres and then £1.2k for brakes).

Price seems a little steep tbh so hopefully the 'deal' they're offering is bringing it down into more reasonable territory.

Good luck.

Look for scored discs.

Also it says 'sports chassis' so worth checking whether this is just their normal description for an RS4 or whether it has the 'sports suspension plus' set up, which some find too hard for their taste.

It has Pirelli P-Zeros which are possibly the least-favoured of the factory-approved tyres - however this is splitting hairs...

Looks a bit expensive to me but you will get 12 months warranty. Look at Piston heads, some good deals to be had, I got an 06 cab 27k miles fash in July for £30k off a Porsche dealer who had taken it in as a px, paid Audi (Poole as it happens) £1,200 for an additional 12mts warranty, job done. So it's worth looking around if you can be spare the time.

Gotta say cabs dont seem to have held there usual premium with rs4s and hang around abit when selling,agree some good deals on pistonheads but also see some v expensive avants that seem to still sell,the high mileage examples are now coming through at sensible money though,the particular car your looking at looks right on the mark to me with a little negotiation
