Thoughts on this car - looking to buy an RS4

Can you enthusiasts give me your advice on this car please - it's had 3 former keepers and the last service was by an audi specialist rather than dealer...i'm going to take a look at it over the weekend providing it's still available.

Thank you in advance for any feedback

Do not buy from Saxton, my mate was going to buy a Range Rover from them, luckily he didn't.

looks like all the right boxes are ticked. Check the side bolsters on the drivers seat. All the functions work and prob the drc set up. Check out who the specialist was who has been servicing / who fitted the exaust but no issue if reputable and well known but they could have cleaned it!!!

I've already looked at this, not in great condition, but OK. It needed a good wash, and wheel refurbs too as they were peeling....
The suspension has been replaced by KW coilovers, but all they have is the standard paperwork and no detail/receipts on any of the mods, from the test drive it felt like it may have been remapped.
It's a March 2007 model which would still be under warranty for the DRC, so it made me question if it had seen much track usage, but impossible to know unless you know the original owners.
The last owner only had it 400 miles, which rang alarm bells too.
Previous plate was W17 JUS if any knows it?
Milltek exhaust sounds great though

How about this one that's just been posted -

Three previous owners, they say it's absolutely immaculate...round steering wheel and comfort seats opposed to buckets stands out but it has the black optic pack and sunroof, which look nice.

Isn't the DRC covered for 5 years or 75k miles?

looks like far too much money for an RS with no bucket seats and a MFSW

Agreed. How about this if red is an option. Much better value, better options, lower mileage....

Thanks bud.
Be quick if you are interested - going to trade a week today. Any other month an easy sell. Jan and solicitors fees mean a cracker is going to slip through the fingers...
