Long term parts availability

Post by MGD » Wed Mar 22, 2023 1:30 pm

Hi all

Trying to make my mind up on long term prospects of my B8 RS4. Is there a view on issues with long term part availability and cost? I’ve noticed that some are experiencing issues with availability for B7 parts for example and the wondering if it will be the same story.

Appreciate there are a lot of variables!

Good point, if you are planning on keeping it long term.
I think the dealer network normally keep stock of parts for 10 years if you wanted new.
You can go for salvage too, or original manufacture who made it for Audi/copy part?
