It is with an EXTREMELY heavy heart I am advertising my B5 RS4, due to a change in personal circumstances I am having to sell a car I've wanted for so long... There is a small chance I will be able to keep the car but it's not looking likely :thumbsdown:

When I bought the car I searched high and low for a car that had sufficient evidence of being well cared for with no expense spared - this came out on top, having spoken with the two previous owners I was more than happy...

Details:

Y Reg Brilliant Black RS4, pre tax rise.
130kmiles.
MOT Feb 2017
High tech interior.
Piano black trim.
Sat Nav
Bose
6 CD Changer
Air con - recently regassed and ice cold
Only one main key but there is a service key.
18" Hard Type RS4 alloys with 4 Excellent Goodyear tyres

Recent maintainence:
Cambelt & water pump etc 10K miles ago at MRC.
Full service carried out beginning of Sept 2016 - car comes with fully stamped service book along with supporting invoices
Pair of New Lambda Sensors fitted Sept 2016
New front suspension arms.
Gearbox rebulid with strengthened syncros 8.5K miles ago at MRC.
2x new rear brake callipers.

Done 10k ago at MRC:
Rebuilt vanilla RS6 turbos.
Bosch 044 fuel pump & 630cc injectors.
LOBA 650nm clutch.
Compression lowering head gaskets
Full Gearbox rebuild
MRC map with flat shift and launch control:
526bhp/520ftlbs at the height of summer, having spoken to MRC recently my intention was to fit Wagner coolers, this would make the car see very close to 600hp...

Other Performance details:
Wagner 3" downpipes and 100 cell sports cats
Miltek cat back
H&R antiroll bars and MRC strengthening brackets
Weitec coilovers(made by KW) the handling and ride on the car is something else..
B7 Rs4 front Brakes with ferodo DS2500s and motul RBF660 fluid


This is an extremely well sorted car, with stacks of invoices for all work carried out, over £10,000 spent within the last 3 years so rest assured only preventative maintenance is now necessary. I would welcome any viewing. I'm simply trying to recoup as much of the money that this car owes me, the V5 is present and in my name.

Price: £16750

I am away until 18th September then back for a short period of time, the vehicle can be viewed in my absence should anyone wish to do so providing I'm given sufficient notice to organise this.

I have uploaded a few photos that I have on my phone.

I've owned the car about three months, I really don't want to be selling it however I can't justify having the car sat in the UK when I will now be spending the majority of my time outside the UK. Exporting the car to the U.A.E isn't really a viable option unfortunately...

Cars registered after April 2001 were on a higher car tax band - why that makes any difference I don't know when buying a car such as this
