Firstly I Apologise for the advert, I aim to write the full details when I get home in 2 weeks time. This is no more than a preliminary heads up.

My passion is this virtually unmarked Daytona Grey saloon. It has bucket seats, flat bottomed steering wheel, Bose, carbon trim and practically unblemished original paintwork. The whole car is in incredible condition having covered a shade over 20300 miles. I searched for a long, long time before luckily finding this one. It was Audi main dealer supplied.

There are no known faults with the car and it has a full service history. It stays in my garage under a custom fitted cover and is only driven during the summer months. Approaching winter it is carefully prepared, wheels off to prevent deforming the tyres as an example, and SORNed. No salt or road muck gets near her :)
Underneath the car is in fantastic condition as you would expect. The suspension components, bolt heads etc. display no corrosion.

I've tweaked it a little but kept the original parts so it could easily be put back to standard. These include a Milltek exhaust and H&R springs. Driving lamps supplied by Trups etc.

All wheels are perfect, no kerb rash at all, four matching premium brand tyres with plenty tread. No DRC, cooling issues, rattles or knocks. Just the way it is supposed to be.

The documentation folio is all here, original build sticker in the windscreen etc.

I will be genuinely gutted to see this go. I also own a B8 RS4 and have to admit the B7 is still my favourite, it just feels so special to drive. Audi got it so right!

There's really not a lot left like this one!

Genuinely interested buyers should have a good idea of what they'd need to offer in terms of price. I'm happy to hear opinions though, makes it interesting :boots:

Combination of factors really, building a new house and trying to free up funds. Reducing the fleet will also mean I will have to carry the dog in the car when required, so a saloon is just not practical (I'd never do this to the B7 anyway).

5 cars at the moment and sadly a few will have to go :(

Hairy muff!
I'm just about to pull my house down too, I was tempted to sell my car, as it's not going to get used much.
Couldn't bring myself to sell though, it took me a while to get into the b8 I'm sure once you've had it for a while you will love it. What setting do you have it on?

With mileage like that it's touching 30k if not more easily.

Not a chance it's worth £30k, maybe £25k, but I guess it depends more on what someone's willing to spend on it.

Seeing that cars that dont look half as clean as this with 45kish miles are up for 23-24 this will and should easily sell for 28-30.
If someone wants a unmolested well looked after example then this is it!

The colour with the matching anthracite wheels makes the car look MEAAAN lol!

I agree, but if it's never been used and is genuinely like new then that warrants a premium in my opinion.

So I suppose I'm one of those who if looking for one like this, I'd pay good money for it.

Just had it confirmed I will be back home on the 29th. There has been quite a bit of interest in the car, thanks very much for this. I will update the post and write a proper advert with a lot more information and pictures soon after the 29th.

Any advice on where to advertise it properly? On here of course, but also Pistonheads, Autotrader?

Just to update the post with some pictures. Hopefully they will do some talking. We all like to look at pics :bigblink:

Seats showing minimal signs of wear, especially high wear areas like bolsters. All air/electric functions operate.

Steering wheel and pedals. Again, immaculate with minimal sign of wear. The steering wheel is one of the things you look at often. On so many RS4s this looks worn and tatty, especially the 'S' button and logo.

Boot and underneath car. Although dirty, the aim was to show that there is no corrosion anywhere on the underside of the car. All components are fresh, bolts untarnished etc. With a clean it would look like new. The car has covered very few wet miles in its life. I have never used it during the winter, so salt free.

Stainless Miltek exhaust fitted.
