RS4 Avant Sepang Blue - Bournemouth (Mervhannam)

[pauldavidthomas]

Hi,

I was going to have a look at this car, just wandering if anyone here knows anything about it's ownership at all - the more history the better really, or if the owner is on here and we could have a chat.

It's not indicated how many owners, so I'm presumeing not 1 !

Thanks in advance .

Looks clean but a little oddly spec'd that one.

[pauldavidthomas]

It does look 'clean' and not the best spec. I wanted a few other options. However, if it is one clean owner I like the low milage. I can pimp it a little ...

[Surrey Sam]

Generally Sport Pack, Panoramic Sunroof and Bang & Olufsen are the must have options. That only has the Sport Pack out of the three but it matters not, if that's the car you want. I'd certainly look to drive the price down because of that fact though.

I wouldn’t be surprised if what is written is correct. It looks to have ACC but isn’t listed. I’d get the chassis number and find out it’s true options.

Spec from what I can make out:

MY14 = DAB, Power Tailgate and 7" MMI
Metallic Paint
Full Leather
Sports Pack
Driver Assistance Pack (if it has reverse camera)
Black Optics
Heated Front Seats

Pauldavidthomas - have a look in the B8 RS4 section, click on the FAQ post and in there will be some brochure downloads you can get.

Looks ok but personally I’d like the pan roof with smaller wheel.

Seems like a few are going through auctions now but not with the best specs and tad under 50k.

[pauldavidthomas]

The more I look, the more the options list is a little light. I might go down and have a look and ask some more questions, but I would certainly be looking to drive the price down if I were buying. Sometimes you see a car and you just don't like it or sometimes you do... I just don't like buying from Dealers... I would rather buy from someone I new - or knew of, which is why it would be good for me to keep my eye on this web site as most people seem enthusiastic about their cars and I'd rather an honest answer from someone selling rather than 'blurb' from a car dealership.

Went and had a look at the car.

It is essentially 3 Owners.

1. Dealer ( Prob demo car )
2. First Owner - 6 Months
3. Second Owner - Since then.

The car is spotless. I could only find two chips of paint, no scratches, nothing.

I looked at the discs. I can feel / see a lip on the rear discs. The front ones have no rim showing - which I thought was odd and would have thought would be the other way around. The MOT said no advisories - however, I’ve not see MOT, but then I’ve not asked.

From cold, started up good, rev’s dropped after 20/30 sec’s as they should. Body work is perfect.

Owner, guy in late 30’s had to trade in for a Land Rover (something larger) as Wife / Kid demanded it. App… he was not happy to see it leave - could be dealers talk.

So, on the face of it, seems clean. Main concern rear discs and over all effect of essentially 3 owners.

Tyres all round Pirelli ZR20 265/30 (PZERO’S) with a reasonable amount of tread.

Close up of the disc. The front ones are flat all the way through. The rear do have a rim / ridge on them.
