B7 RS4 TTS Ibis Avant FS

Post by J130YCE » Fri May 24, 2019 1:05 pm

The time has come to part with my very much loved RS4 TTS. The car has been an absolute pleasure to own. I searched this exact car out and had known it for several years before owning it myself, I missed out on it once and when it came up for sale this time in Northern Ireland I went over and brought it back to Bristol. I now have no drive nor spare space, so the car needs to go, as some avid readers may know I have been considering this move for some number of months and have postponed it a number of times …I think I am now ready!

If you are looking at this then you’ll understand how great these cars with these modifications are. This will be the ‘one that got away’ but you can keep ‘em all! The cars is frankly, very fast, its rapid from a standstill but it really is astounding once it’s up and running. Unlike many of the new turbocharged engines this TTS Supercharger almost replicates the power and torque curves of the standard engine albeit significantly amplified. The car is very driveable and is as equally happy cruising round as it is on a spirited drive.

My current car is a new BMW M2 competition (company car) and much as it pains me to say, the RS is quicker, stops better, handles better, has nicer seats, sounds far superior and has better suspension. Clearly the tech is much worse though!

Work Carried out in my ownership
• Retrimmed Gear Knob and Steering in Alcantara to match with Audi original exclusive option from factory

• Replace windscreen
• Oil and filter change (3)
• Replace scuttle trim
• Replace relays
• Replace Throttle body
• Replace battery
• New ECU from Germany, flash and remap
• Pollen Filter

I don’t really think the car wants for anything apart from the regular maintenance that is par for the course with ownership of an older car.
Points that could do with addressing
Replace rear four rings Audi badge with new item
New set of floor matts
Revisit aftermarket stereo – original (working item) supplied with car.

I’m not desperate for it to go so won’t be entertaining fools nor will I do a deal to get a quick sale, there is no finance on the car and I will take the test drive, you can drive it when you’ve paid for it.

Currently 41k miles wont go up much as not really using it!

I am happy for a small deposit to be paid in advance (non-refundable). I am also happy to take bank transfers, or I could get someone with car machine facilities if you wish to pay by card.

£33,750.00 no part ex or cash

Ha, sneaked it up on to the grass by the suspension bridge. Bet you had some locals peering out of the window and frowning at you! We’re you visiting, not seen your car around Bristol before?

Ompf

Why is it sitting so low at the back?

Is it still on DRC?

Does it has PPF? If not, any stone chips?

SSplus, it’s always sat like that, possible exacerbated by the slope! So yes still DRC, No ppf, I’ll have a good look later re chips but I haven’t noticed any bigges.

You tempted to get back into a b7 ! :bigblink:

Update, I haven’t been pushing the sale but I’m going to get it advertised on some other sites as I’m now ready to part with it after a great day round Wales last week.

I’ll listen to offers from the group. It will be up before next weekend on other sites.

Thank James
