RS246.com Forum :: The World's #1 Audi R, S and RS Enthusiast Community

This RS4 itch just won't go away and feel like every car buff should have owned one at some point.
Asking for a bit of advice on what sort of budget I need to be looking at for a 15 year RS4 on a private sale.
Im ideally looking at sub 30K miles.
I know they are spec dependent but is 35K a realistic ballpark figure on a private sale.
advice much appreciated.
Also is the DRC knocking still an issue on these?
Thanks

£35k feels light to me. As for the DRC knock my 15 reg car suffered from it, had new front shocks. So yes

I sold my Feb 15 (64 plate) in November for £39500. so 35k is way low for a 15. also, might be worth buying from a dealer - offers you more protection...

have a look at autocentre in inverurie (they have a website too...) they always have good RS stock.

I had 38 in mind when I started looking early this month. However I just picked up a 2015 with 24K miles on it for just over 35k, Nicely spec'd too.

One thing I found was some Audi franchises, Marshall etc don't advertise on the main channels like Autotrader, hence the car I bought was in stock for a while and was getting reduced every 2 weeks!

Good luck.

Ok thanks.
Was that a private sale?
Sepang Blue(15 plate) on Audi approved at 37.5K with 30K miles so I didn't think £35K was a million miles away.

So called Audi “Approved” scheme

They are very spec/colour dependent

Good luck.

Mine is for sale with just over 32k miles on the clock and I have it up for £33,750. Its a May 15 car without DRC or dynamic steering.

Jimmckay9999, you won't find a better one for the money! And I'd agree its a better car without dynamic steering, and with no DRC there is no constant worry of it failing and costing you a fortune if/when outside the warranty

Thanks for the heads up.
Just picked these messages up as I was away for the weekend.
Had my head turned last week at Porsche and stuck a deposit on the new Cayman GTS.
Not exactly similar cars but man maths and dubious reasoning took over.

Great cars. Man maths is the best.

Hi
Is that your RS4 for sale again at Autocentré Inverurie?

I am thinking of looking at it ( when lock down is over )

Anything worth noting about your old car.

Thanks
