That is a steal at that price.
Prospective buyers want their head testing if they don't go for that [img]images/graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]

I'd have guestimated it be worth at least 13k privately! be careful of not selling it too cheap to be true, it puts people off..

It's priced to sell quick.

I've put a £500 deposit on an RS4 and the dealer gets it for even less than £11500 if no one else catches it in the next week or two. I really can do without the hassle of the usual round of tire kickers.

It's a Nov 97 model but registered in 99. It's on an R plate. I thought somewhere between £12000-£13000. Based on what others are going for.

There's nothing wrong with the car. Folks can do a search on here to find out everything I've experienced over the last 22 months of ownership.

Believe it or not the trade price for this car is £8500! I have been quoted this from two different Audi dealerships. Needless to say there I didn't settle for that. But I’ still getting a crap price.

I’d like to know what trade in price dealers have been quoting for RS4s.

I'm split on the value of mods. Most new owners including myself initially don't appreciate the value/difference a chip and suspension makes to these babies and it puts them off.

I previously thought, "O this owner must be hard on the car... " I wanted an unmodified car. Now I'd much rather a modified RS4 so I don't have to stump another £1000 plus to do the inevitable.

Adamo,

I thought exactly the same as you but seeing is everything.

But then my ideal was negaro interior and exterior. I got the interior. You have to see it.

I'd post the interior shot but the file exceed 5500 and won't post!

You won't get much change from £6k if you want suspension, brakes, ECU and exhaust mods. I hope you've got deep pockets [img]images/graemlins/spineyes.gif[/img]

Good luck

I'd only go for a remap. The RS4 suspension and brakes is perfectly adequate for fast road driving. In fact perfectly adequate for lunatic fast road driving.

They are just way too soft for the track.

10K more!

Yep. Acually 10.5k [img]images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
Here's the ad.

1999 AUDI S4 AVANT Estate
Upgraded suspension, exhaust & engine management 320 BHP very fast. Imola Yellow. Blaupunkt DAB stereo, CD Multi Changer, Cruise Control, Electric Slide/Tilt glass Sunroof, Immobilizer, Leather Upholstery, Zenon Head Lamps.FASH. 60000 miles. £22000.

Bear in mind he'll get no-where near this but just goes to show.
If people get put off by the blue interior, they could always have it re-trimmed for about £700 by professionals.
Mo had his S3 done in silver alcantara for £600 and it looked cracking. Still make your car good value after the re-trim spend.

Cheers

Ben
