As mentioned in another forum I have been contemplating buying a B5 RS4. The first step is to sell/PX my car in the process, so here goes.
I bought the car in November 2010 after months of research on the known faults and pitfalls of this car. This all meant nothing when pretty much the day after I suffered major engine failure in the shape of a chain tensioner fault.
(There is a full write up on another forum so if you have any questions relating to this then please do ask).
Bad luck isn't the word and no, there was NO sign of a problem during both road tests!
You can see from the thread that GREAT care was taken to source a good engine with low miles and that it was fitted by experts.
The car is a late 2003 B6 S4 Manual avant with just over 100,000 miles, this list of extras fitted when new -
-[2V5] Automatic air re-circulation
-[3L4] Electric seat adjust.both fr.sts/w.driver memory
-[5TZ] Gray birch vein fascia & inserts
-[6M4] Load area pack
-[6XL] Heated, auto dip, folding, memory door mirrors
-[7X1] Acoustic parking aid - rear only
-[8RY] BOSE sound system
-[8T1] Cruise control
-[N7U] Alcantara/leather
-[PID] ISOFIX [inc.fr.pass.a/bag deactivation]
-[PNK] Satellite navigation system
-[PSH] Heated front and rear seats
-[PU7] Auto-dip r.v.mirror & auto-low beam headlights
-[RSY] Symphony radio
It also has Tracker fitted and this is currently paid for by a monthly subscription and is easily transferred
It really is a very well specced car and everyone is surprised to see heated REAR seats, especialy when there are kids in the car.
The auto dimming rear view mirror is great and I'll miss it greatly as I will the heated front seats..... and just about everything else but it's time for a change.

S4 over mats from mycarmats .
This is where we are with it now and the only issues I know of are a noisy drivers side window regulator and the usual glovebox hinge issue.
The M.O.T test certificate expires on 05/07/2012.
The road fund license expires on 31/03/12.
The asking price is £8000. This is taking into account the fact that all the normal S4 issues have been taken care of and the general condition of the car.

I knew there'd be something else!
I've also fitted a new rear wiper motor, arm and blade because the original one was leaking a bit.
