Been to view a few but non have made the grade yet - I'm almost certain the next one will now be a B8. Just haven't made the mind up fully on an RS4 or an RS5 facelift.
Sam, if you do go down the B8 RS4 route, what are your requirements?
How long have you got?
Realistically I will not find a car with my ideal specification, so will have to retrofit a number of items over time. A car with less 'would likes' would need to be cheap though, as the spec will be fairly basic and cost me shed loads of ££££'s to improve upon.
Must have's:
- Car - Sub 20k miles ideally, full Audi history, well loved.
Colour - Sepang Blue, Nardo Grey, Suzuka Grey, Ibis White and will consider other muted Exclusive colours.
Interior - Full black leather, black headlining, again Exclusive colours considered but probably nothing I'll like, Carbon or Piano Black inlays.
Seats - I want buckets but will probably have to retrofit, so ideally the standard seats should be full memory and heated.
Options - DRC suspension (doesn't have to be full Sports Package), 3G MMI+ with 7" screen, B&O Sound system, DAB radio, Panoramic Sunroof, Advance Parking
Would like's/Retrofit list:
- Extended Audi Warranty
20" wheels
Ceramic Brakes
Bucket Seats
Power Tailgate
No privacy glass
Mobile Telephone Prep High
Advanced Key
Side Assist
Adaptive Cruise
Hill Hold Assist
Homelink
Carbon design engine cover
That's interesting. I've had my RS4 since November which is quite long for me. It's my first RS and I'm just kicking myself for having loads of S cars and not going full fat before! I'm getting twitchy as I think I may have to scratch some more itches and move on from the RS4. My car matches most of the must haves:
Must have's:
- 13700 miles, 2nd owner, purchased from a main dealer, serviced at 11k, well loved
Colour - Sepang Blue
Interior - Full black leather, black headlining, Carbon inlays.
Seats - Not buckets, full memory and heated.
Options - Sports Pack - no knocking, 3G MMI+ with 7" screen, B&O Sound system, DAB radio, Panoramic Sunroof, Advance Parking
Would like's/Retrofit list:
- Extended Audi Warranty - nope
20" wheels - v spokes
Ceramic Brakes - nope
Bucket Seats - nope
Power Tailgate - yes
No privacy glass - whoops
Mobile Telephone Prep High - think (?) this is standard (mobile connects via bt).
Advanced Key - nope
Side Assist - nope
Adaptive Cruise - yes
Hill Hold Assist - no
Homelink - no
Carbon design engine cover - no
Happy to have a chat if you get firm plans to change and the above if of interest. Then we could maybe meet up, chat about figures etc. No firm plans on my side; just maybe (maybe not) a potential option for you.
