1998 S4 B5 Avant - For sale

Post by JUT » Thu Nov 08, 2007 3:36 pm

Hello all,

Due to a lack of funds I'm having to trade down to something more sensible (read: cheaper) and part company with my S4.

The car is a 1998 Avant in Hibiscus Red with grey leather
Xenons, cruise, sat nav, climate control, bose stereo with CD changer, heated seats, all working.
It has 6 months tax and MOT to 19/11/08
FSH and has just been serviced this week
Has also just had both bumpers resprayed (front was stonechipped badly, rear had some parking scuffs, now it looks like new)
It had replica RS4 wheels on it when I bought it but I binned them for being chavvy, sourced a set of original Avus wheels, had them professionally refurbed and fitted with brand new genuine centre caps and Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3's - have covered around 1k miles since then, and the wheels don't have a single scuff on them, they are spotless.
Also the front indicators and side repeaters were showing their age so they have been changed for new genuine ones, I have fitted a pair of 710n dump valves and a boost gauge with matching red illumination in the centre right dash vent.
The car has also had new brake discs, pads and castrol super dot 4 fluid recently, as well as a new PAS pump.
And all of this has been done since June, when I bought it with about 90k miles! Belts etc were changed at the 80k service.

The car still looks standard (as it should, IMHO) but it has genuine RS4 suspension, QST stainless exhaust system and MTM remap to 320bhp.

It is in top condition inside and out, but unfortunately I need the money :-(

(I don't need it in a hurry though, before anyone gets any ideas of making silly offers)

The car still has my private plate on it so can't really sell it until the DVLA get their act together, probably be ready to go in 2-3 weeks.

I'm open to sensible offers, post them up here, or PM me.

Pics to follow this weekend, hopefully, if I can blag my mate's SLR camera - want hi-def pics to show how clean the car is :-)

I expected it to make more - there's nothing on Autotrader approaching my car for under £9000 - and it really is immaculate. I still think it'll fetch over £7k on the auction, will just have to keep my fingers crossed. Not the best time of day for the auction to be finishing...

Nice car. Colour of car and leather isn't to my taste. I think that may be why it's not selling. Shame time isn't on your side, because there is someone out there who wants it, you just have to find them!

Know what you mean, a friend of mine was waiting about 6 months to find the right buyer for his racing minicab (sapphire cosworth 4x4) but eventually found someone willing to give him over £6k for it. I can't and don't want to wait that long.

Gutting to be selling it for that much, if it doesn't go this time I'm going to hold onto it for a while... :P

Hi

Is the avant still for sale. What miles and what condition is the body work in and would you consider part exchange to a leon tdi?

Thanks Sam
