First post on this site so please excuse the noob questions.
1.Ive got my eye on an RS4 - 2014 on a 63 plate. The general consensus on here seems to be that the 'MY14' variation is the one to have. How do I tell if this car is a MY14? Also, is the a model history page somewhere that shows what was added/upgraded and when?
2. The car has done 23,000 miles. I have read all the terror threads about DRC failure. How often can I expect a big bill because of this? Ive had a quote from Audi Warrenty of about £1200 per year for an all component Warrenty. They said DRC is covered providing the milage isn't ridiculous, at which point some parts become wear and tear items. Is it worth it? The dealership (Porsche) is selling it with a years Warrenty, I've asked for details on what that covers. Ive also read about gearbox problems.
Any advise on how much trouble I can really expect would be much appreciated. I need to put things into perspective.
3. I'm coming from a Mercedes A45 AMG. To be honest, I haven't even test driven an RS4. Ive choose it because it fits my requirements, which are:
- 0-60 similarish to my A45
- 4WD
- Bigger than A45, smaller than the Audi A6 I had before that
- I like Audis build quality
So.... am I likely to see it as an upgrade?
Dive in guys, im looking forward to joining the club. I just want a better idea of what I have in store for myself.
Thanks, Ben.
