looking to sell my lovely daily RS4 B8.5 in Panther Black soon.
It gets used as a daily and for work - I feel bad for all the miles I'm putting on and the worries/stress of where it's parked when really I could be using a workhorse as it barely seems the redline - happy to PX for a X3/X5 or estate with plenty of boot space.
This car originally came up for sale in December 2019 where I enquired but was sold before I could view, it was my ideal spec RS4. Flash forward to 2023 and it popped up for sale with the highly renownedhttps://www.fontain.co.uk in Iver. The car was known and maintained by Fontain before they purchased it from the previous owner and the quality of the cars they buy its second to none. The car was purchased by myself in March 2023 and has currently covered roughly 10.5k miles and is my daily and used 3/4 days a week.

As you can see the car has been very well looked after with low ownership, great options and comprehensive well documented service history.
The front brake discs and pads were last renewed at 51k and the rear discs and pads at 58k miles. Rear tyres replaced at 58k and front fitted at 3k miles ago. The alloys have been refurbished in their correct Dimond cut finish and look fantastic!
These cars with the OB5 S-Tronic gearbox are known for issues. When the car was first purchased it showed an error which was covered under warranty and had the mechatronic unit replaced according to an Audi TPI. Ever since then it's been on my list to get the gearbox fully inspected and clutch packs replaced and rebuilt by Milta Technologies. It's my daily driver and wanted a built proof car. This was at a cost of £3,600 which included a 6-month warranty - fantastic place!
CONDITION
The car is in lovely condition, interior is great with no rips or tears on the leather seats. The occasional scratch on interior trim but compared to some newer lower milage RS4's this was far better! Paintwork is good, a few small stone chips (one on the rear drivers door) which have been touched up but no dents or scratches etc. Recently painted tail pipes set the car off.
BAD POINTS
- Paintwork could do with a polish (something I'm hoping to get done this summer)
- Exhaust flaps are stiff - I've unplugged the valve so it's always open
COMES WITH
- Front seat over
- Boot liner
- Audi winter mats
OVERVIEW
The car drives lovely after all the recent work, new front suspension components and with the sports exhaust it sounds great! When I picked the car up I spent a day or 2 going around and sorting all the small rattles and squeaks also moisturising all the rubber door seals including the sunroof (which has recently been serviced).
Based in Berkshire and looking for £27k ONO based upon how well this car has been looked after and the recent work. No rush to sell and also would be interested in PX'ing for a X3/X5 or Q3/Q4 or estate - need the cargo space!
