Hi all. I've been a member here since before I got my S4 a couple of years ago, and everyone here's been really friendly and helpful, so I wanted to advertise on the forums before the likes of ebay, PH etc. Also, I know that the forumites will give me good advice on how to tweak my ad if I need it. All comments welcomed! So here it is:
2004/04 BLACK AUDI S4 QUATTRO AVANT
I’m reluctantly selling my cherished Audi S4 Avant. I have a wedding to save up for, and due to this being our second car and a bit of a luxury, I’m giving it up to plough all of my money into savings!
4.2L V8 petrol, 6 Speed Manual, Estate, Pearlescent Ebony Black paint, silver leather Recaro interior and carbon fibre trim. 62,000 miles.
PRICE £9,450 - Reasonable offers welcomed
FULL AUDI SERVICE HISTORY + TRANSFERABLE AUDI SERVICE PLAN - See below for details
This is a truly underrated, very capable sports car which will not fail to impress. Very subtle and understated, yet seriously quick with 344hp and 410Nm of torque. A real wolf in sheep’s clothing. This car offers sports car performance and handling, renowned Audi quality, with room in the back for the kids and dog! How many other cars offer such luxury & practicality with the power and soundtrack of a 4.2 V8??
The car runs perfectly & pulls like a train!
There are some minor stone chips/scuffs/scratches around the exterior, which you would hope to see with a car this age (if you didn’t I’d be suspicious!) but they’re nothing serious.
The interior is in very good condition. A couple of minor scuffs on the leather and a bit of creasing on the driver’s side seat bolster, which is pretty normal with these cars. [EDIT]:The interior has all just been cleaned and conditioned with Gliptone Liquid Leather products. The cleaner, GT12, and conditioner, GT11, are pretty much the best out there for cleaning & conditioning leather, and they also add a really nice authentic leathery smell!
This car is still stock condition – it has no performance upgrades and has not been abused. Most of the miles I’ve covered in this car have been easy motorway miles.
18” Avus design alloy wheels complete with Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta 235/40 R18Y tyres (brilliant tyres – I did a lot of research before buying these!). The tyres all have about 5mm tread remaining, give or take a fraction.
MOT - Due in August, but I’ll extend it for the new buyer, so there will be around 12 months left from when you buy.
Tax - End of December.

There are several programmable features which I’ve enabled in the car’s software, such as:
- Anti-carjacking - car doors lock automatically when travelling above 10mph (unlock if crashed)
- Anti-thief protection - only the driver door unlocks on first press of remote unlock, two presses unlocks all doors
- Auto open/auto close of all windows using remote control
- Post lock “beep” - car beeps when it has been locked (saves me doubting whether I’ve locked the car!)
Any of these features can be removed prior to purchase if you desire.
Has been sold by Audi dealerships in the past, so for most of its life it has been covered by the comprehensive Audi warranty (including for the first year of my ownership), so any niggles have been dealt with before they became anything serious.
Servicing:
This car has been serviced in accordance with the Audi service schedule, and the next service is due at the end of this year. I have a transferable Audi service plan on the car, which runs until the end of September this year, so your next service should be free if you get it done a bit early.
