Hello all
New to the forum and Audi S/Rs product.
Im potentially looking at Following 2 cars , I’d be interested to know your thoughts on both ..spec/price etc ?
I know there at the top end of the B8 price bracket are they worth the extra £ for low miles /limited edition ?

First car has adaptive cruise that I'm a big fan of. Much prefer the wheels on the first car too, but that is an individual preference
Neither has keyless entry (some worry about this as a security issue)
Dealer sold within 48 hours my '15 plate 28k miles RS4, advertised at £36.9k so prices not a million miles out
Good luck

Both look like top examples. I'd consider what mileage you will do on the car as you will lose the premium currently attached to them if you start to pile on the miles.
There is an argument to say the super low mileage one hasn't been used enough which could cause it's own issues...
Prices look reasonable though as 40k mile cars are going for circa low £30k mark.

Interesting - first one is the one I'd go for assuming everything checks out. Looks very clean, probably the most mint / mintiest B8 RS4 out there.
If you do go ahead, I recommend you read Sam's great post here:

Also, if you buy one with over 20k miles, ensure this has been done - 'Front Final Drive: renew gearbox oil – Every 20,000 miles.'

The first one was on Ebay about 2 years ago with 4k miles, photo had a nice private plate on and another car in the background with a matching plate. Add got pulled and never saw the car again. Seats were the main thing that draw me to it, milage did not matter as I would have used it as a daily driver.
If it's a one owner car with full service history (and all the other time sensitive work done) and has had not paint work I would consider it. Black heading is also a big plus. Audi extended warranty is appox £1200
Have you seen the Black Limited Edition on Thames Valley Trader thats got 13k and a private sale?

Cannot be 100% sure but the one at Simon James is the one I liked when it was on Ebay a couple of years ago. mileage was around the same from memory, cannot find the add. it had a four digit private plate something like 42PM and a Ranger Rover in the background had PM42.
Some have white headlining, I prefer the black. Also the Limited Edition ones have a couple of more extras. Their alloys are a pain to refurb so keep an eye on them.
Attached is sale brochure if that helps
