A little board in work and went to see what RS4's are for sale in Oreland....

Spotted this, fairly new add. Never spotted a optics RS4 in Dublin..... wonder if its a UK import?

Isnt that a very rare black edition, came with optics, piano inlays, titanium alloys and seat backs in body colour. i think they should also have suede steering wheel and gear stick which this one doesnt seem to have. There was a white version to but as far as I am aware there was only ever one white car in the UK.

I think I say that in real life, its a nice car and the pics do not do it justice. Sure its Daytona grey, but thoes pics make it look very dark.
The red seats wouldnt be my first choice, but in real life they were not that bad.
The lad selling it was on here, he was a decent bloke too, so its a genuine motor if its the same one!

First Carzone ad - it looks like one of the rare run out models to me and steering wheel is suede, albeit worn looking.

I saw the white version about 18 months ago on that site and it too had the titanium and storm trooper bucket seats.

Actually looking at the enlarged pic of the stearing wheel, like JackS4 said.... its looks like its just worn down

What with the price on the RS4 in Ballsbridge, a bit steep

http://www.carzone.ie/search/Audi/RS4/4 ... annel=CARS

the steering wheel doesn't quite match the condition of the rest of the car above alright

Funny, when it first came for sale, I rang because they said the car had 5900 kms on the ad, so it would have made sense re: the steep price, the guy didn't undersatnd why I wanted to trade in a 2007 black RS4 for a hem.. 2007 black RS4.. when I mentionned the extremely low mileage he went to check something... then said sorry it is 59 thousand kms.. tosser!..

I don't know if its me but the red seats don't seem to wear off as much as most other colours around the bolsters etc...

It's not like you think. You wouldn't get anywhere close to that amount for a car on uk reg. Any car on Irish reg has had thousands in vehicle registation tax paid. It applies to all new cars sold in Ireland and all cars imported into Ireland. So if someone here buys a uk rs4 they then have to pay about 30% of the Market value of the car to the government in order to register it. Irish citizens driving uk reg cars will get heavily fined and car will be ceased.

Blimey - Ireland (and NZ) makes you realise how cheap cars have got in the UK in the recent past.

Weird how the one with the red seats doesn't have the 'Audi Exclusive' badge in the door cards.
I have the red seats (also with daytona) but not the red door cards and I have the badges
