B7 RS4 Saloon (Still under Audi Warranty)

Post by ollys » Thu Jul 19, 2018 10:08 am

Selling my B7 RS4 after a year and a half of ownership, as it doesn't get used much as a second care and, to be honest, my eco conscience is weighing heavily (we are considering not having any car at all!)

Spec:
• Avus silver pearlescent (great colour for the saloon)

• 55,500 miles

• Buckets

• FBSW

• Solar Sunroof

• Bose

• Auto dimming rear view mirror

• Fridge in glove box

• Sat Nav

• Centre arm rest

• Heated front and rear seats

• Dark wood inlays (but I have a full set of carbon trim which I intend to install unless anyone desparately wants to keep the wood!)

• 4 former keepers

• No modifications

Maintenance:

Well looked after in my ownership and previously.

In my ownership:

• Full wheel refurb at Lepsons – amazing job – and not a mark on the wheels

• Four Goodyear Eagle F1 asymmetric 3 tyres all with 7.5mm tread – done less than 400 miles

• Just had 4-wheel alignment at Audi, including new track rod end, and health check by Audi this week – all clear.

• CV boot replaced at Audi

• New steering wheel and gearknob last year at Audi (insurance claim following a theft). As you can imagine both are in fantastic condition

• Serviced at Audi October 2016 at 52,576 miles

• New MAF and clutch switch

• Mot till Jan 2019

In previous owner’s ownership:

Full Audi history including the following major items:
• Front DRC, clutch, flywheel and hydraulic pipe replaced@ 44,435

• Both Aux Rads replaced @ 38,863

Condition

Really good condition all round. One or two extremely minor chips and marks to bodywork, to be expected from a 12-year old car, but you have to look very had to see them.

Exhaust flaps were disabled by Audi.

Only negative is that the driver’s side seat bolsters do not hold pressure when inflated.

£18,500 ONO.

I am located in Wandsworth, SW London.

Edit: I have today renewed the Audi Warranty this car has had since new. All component cover with a £250 excess. In the year and a half I have not had to use this cover, but it does provide absolute peace of mind to any owner, as it is fully transferable, and can be continued each year until the car reaches 100,000 miles. If the purchaser wants this, it can be provided as part of any negotiation on price.

Picture of the wheels after the refurb - and as they stand now.

Can anyone tell me why I have had practically zero interest in this?

It wants for nothing and is a genuinely lovely car (even the old bill said so when they stopped me at 2am last night!).

Is the price too high?

It also has a full Audi Warranty....

If the seat bolsters aren’t holding pressure why not tell audi as you have warranty on the car? Are the exhaust flaps still functioning before Audi disabled them?

Re seats, because (a) it has never bothered me enough to pay the excess (b) even if it did I don't trust Audi to do a good job on something which is not totally routine and just don't have the energy or time to deal with their incompetence.

Re exhaust - don't know as this had been done by the previous owner, but I see no reason to swap it back - the exhaust sounds lovely all the time and is not at all intrusive - there is no downside to having the flaps open all the time as far as I can see.

If you’ve got DK interested - there’s a serious buyer.

Audi warranty is a big plus.

I think it’s just silver - for whatever reason, silver B7s seem to take longer to shift. I recall a member called Neil P had a mint Avus B7 with a JCWF exhaust - still took him a while to sell.

Good luck - I’m sure it’ll sell!

Cheers mate - that's the thing - Avus is a really underrated colour for the saloon - the pictures don't do it justice - you have to see it in real life. This is not the case in my view for the Avant and the other silver, ice silver, is very humdrum...

Looks stunning. I originally wanted an Avant but this looks just about perfect to me.

Shame I’m about 6 weeks off buying as I’d be all over this!!

I think it looks lovely and the price is fair. Where have you advertised? EBay classified is the best bet to sell IME

Avus is a colour that really accentuates the wide body especially on the b5. Very underrated. IMHO this car is very well priced. If a dealer was selling this car it’d be well closer to 20k maybe a little more to try their luck. If I didn’t have two b7’s and a b5 already I’d actually consider this to just keep aside.

Agreed! Look at those arches! You don't get the same effect with Daytona grey or Phantom black..
