WANTED: B5 RS4 in Black

[Crouchie]

Hi all, you may remember me? I have been an Audi driver for many years now (B4 Coupe & A4 2.8 quattro) and now opportunity has finally come around allowing me to buy my dream Audi (Well, ever since I saw my first one when I was 25! The R8 is still out of my reach )

I have been doing some reading and the only major thing that is a preference is a model from April 2001 when the gearbox was changed to get rid of the troublesome 1st and 2nd gear problems that the earlier RS4's faced. I don't mind if the upgrade has already been done to a pre 2001 model.

What am I looking for.......... It has to be Black (I know, it's a rare colour), no other colour looks as good IMHO and I prefer it to have Sat Nav. It would be really good if it's also had an MRC tune to 420bhp. I would consider RS4's with more power but I feel this is the best compromise between power and reliability/maintenance. Not a problem if it is stock standard, I would just have to pay a visit to MRC myself for the 420 upgrade.

I have already looked in the usual places for one and the one that took my eye was on pistonheads (Enigma cars) but it has already been sold so I thought I would come to the best place on the interweb and post a wanted thread instead.

As these cars are so prestigous within the Audi community almost every owner looks after them really well so I guess there isn't really much more that can be said or asked for, I'm just hoping that there is an owner out there in two minds of selling their beloved Black RS4, I can assure you that it will be going to a big Audi fan and will be looked after in the same fashion that the car deserves.

I have approx 10-11k to spend.

Any other help or advise would be received gratefully.

Thanks

Geoff

Have you seen this one

I had spotted this one but as the original thread started in August last year I thought no chance that it would still be about and that the other 3 pages was thread hijacking & banter

I'll pop on and PM him.

Thanks

Hi Geoff,

I have sent you a PM. I have a Black one (carbon storm metallic, 1k1k paint code) for sale at the end of April that sounds just like what you are after...

Due to personal circumstances I have not been able to purchase an RS4 as of yet and to those who got in contact, I can only apologise for wasting anyone's time not my scene normally but hey, it happened!

The short and curlies of it all was that I was going through a divorce and was advised against making such a purchase in case I lost it in the proceedings

Well the good news is that from October I will be back in the market for a shiny black B5 RS4 as listed above so I will be seriously considering the right candidate as my four ringed friend.

I'm off trekking in Nepal for a couple of weeks in October so if I don't reply straight away, you'll know why, but I am looking forward to becoming a proud owner and perhaps joining the regulars at an event or two in the near future (ADI is out for me this year because of Nepal!!!).

Thanks everyone

I now have cash waiting and will consider either a Black or a Noggy with Satnav and a sunroof, preferrably with a few upgrades like B7 brakes, Milltech, short shifter and 420bhp.

I have a budget of up to £15k to spend.

Post back or drop me a PM if you have one for sale, thanks.
