B7 RS4 Avant for sale

Post by temo_wil » Sat Jun 12, 2021 10:15 pm

For sale is my 2007 B7 RS4 Avant in Sprint Blue with Aluminium pack.

I purchased this example at the beginning of March 2020 so I have owned it for 1 year and 3 months and in that time I have covered just over 5,000 miles. The previous owner had it for approx. 6 years and maintained it to an extremely high standard. This is a 4 owner car (I am the 4th) from new which is becoming quite hard to find now due to their age and tendency for owners to sell after only 1-2 years.

When I began searching for the right car I was set on a lower mileage example however after viewing multiple examples that were in poor condition (rust around arches, roof etc), had incomplete history, tatty interiors with worn bolsters, had been sitting around for months unused etc etc I came across this one. The mileage was higher but the condition, history and spec made it a no brainer. It had also been used daily which was preferable to me to help avoid issues that can build with little use and sitting around for extended periods of time.

The mileage currently stands at 127,985 and will increase slightly as it is still in use. It has fully service history which is a mixture of main dealer and specialist. The history is as follows:

Delivery Inspection - Audi Peterborough

Longlife Service - Audi Leicester on 18/02/2008 - 14,123 miles

Longlife Service - Audi Nottingham on 01/04/2009 at 27,487 miles

Longlife Service - Audi Nottingham on 10/08/2010 at 46,703 miles

Longlife Service - Audi Leicester on 15/03/2011 at 53,541 miles

Longlife Service - Audi Poole on 14/11/2012 at 69,538 miles

Oil Change / Inspection Service - Dereham Auto Services on 01/09/2015 at 87,782 miles

Oil Change - Dereham Auto Services on 19/04/2017 at 93,840 miles

Oil Change / Inspection Services - K.A.R Tuning on 17/07/2019 at 119,140 miles

Oil Change / Inspection Service - Dunkirk Garage on 19/12/2020 at 126,663 miles. This service was done by an ex-Audi mechanic and included engine oil (Castrol Edge 5w-30), brake fluid, spark plugs, oil filter, fuel filter, hydraulic oil, gear box oil and diff oil change (using Gulf Competition Ester based 75w-90 so only the best).

I have all of the original paperwork to back up the service history and all of the work stated.

The bodywork is exceptional especially for the mileage. The paintwork is stunning, there is no rust and it’s cleaned every weekend only using top quality products (Zymol, Dodo Juice and Meguires).

The wheels were fully refurbished in February 2021 in the original OEM hyper silver finish with new Michelin Sport 4S’s all round and new OEM bolt caps.

The interior is extremely good with no rips or tears. The previous owner regularly cleaned and conditioned the leather and I have carried this on using Gliptone. There are also genuine RS4 mats in place which are extremely hard to find due to their cost when new. Little things like the glove box lid not having broken hinges and the arm rest lid clip being intact just add to the finer details of this car.

The engine pulls hard throughout the rev range and starts first time every time with of course no warning lights on the dash. Castrol Edge 5W30 has also been used as per manufacture specifications. At the last service in December 2020 I had the coolant tank replaced with a new OEM one as these degrade over time which can create coolant leakage. I personally only use V-power or Momentum and the previous owner also stated that he’d only used V-Power during his ownership.

The gearbox is nice, tight and precise with no issues selecting. The clutch was replaced just prior to me purchasing (16/09/2019 at 120,485 miles) and the flywheel, clutch pressure plate, friction plate was replaced by Audi under warranty at 63,291 miles on 19/01/2012.

Still running DRC suspension. When I purchased I checked them and could find no obvious misting or leaks and this was backed up by the MOT history. I was after an as original example as possible so the DRC was important to me.

The oil cooler is in good condition and the pipe work looks fine.

One thing that will get asked is has it had a recent carbon clean. The answer to that is no and to be perfectly honest given how it drives and performs I wouldn’t say it’s in urgent need to get done. If I was keeping then I’d probably get it cleaned at some point and the manifold flaps removed but that’s more of a personal preference.

All in all this is a cherished example of this appreciating classic. Please go and look at other examples before viewing this one so you can see for yourself. I myself and the previous owners have maintained it regardless of cost and have kept it as original as possible.

I had planned to keep it for the foreseeable future however I have just been offered a C7 RS6 Performance that a friend has owned from new. I am not looking for any silly offers, px’s etc and I’ll happily keep this if it does not sell as I know that I won’t be able to find another in this condition at this price.

All original books, service booklet and leather RS4 wallet are present as are both fully working keys.

I am looking for £17,995.00

If you have any questions please email or call. Also just to be clear I am not after any p/x, lowball offers, swaps etc. I am in no rush to sell so please do not waste my time or yours.

Thanks

Nothing worse than an advert that lacks the commonly requested information.

Due to the purchase of my new car falling through (my friend can’t find what he’s after so decided to keep his RS6) I won’t be selling at this point.

Hi

Well actually yes. So it’s off to C J Mechanical on the 14th December for a bit of work (carbon clean, DRC rear drivers side shock replacement, injectors refurbished, new battery and a few other little bits) in preparation for selling February next year.

I do not like selling cars especially privately if bits need doing (I’m a bit ocd like that).

So.... the C7 RS6 that I had my eye on will be available from March so my B7 RS4 will be available around the 22nd December once it gets back from having a few bits done at CJ Mechanical.

Mileage at that point will be approx. 131k. Price I’ll be looking for £17,995 as before and considering the work that’s being done before the sale I think that’s a very fair price looking at other examples currently on sale.

Any questions let me know...
