Hi Guys & Gals,
Well, I've finally got to sell my RS - after toying with keeping it a change in circumstances means I now need the space!
She's a Jan 01 X Plate, 59k miles 2 owners from new, full Audi Service history with all paperwork. Full Leather interior, Bose / CD changer, Nokia Bluetooth kit (no cradle), Snooper S6 neo. Soft wheels with the letter!
The colours a rare one - Azure Blue, and looks very stealthy!
She's in a fantasic condition inside & out, but about due a service.
Currently SORN'd as I've not had time for her, I'd MOT & Tax it.
I've had an offer from a trader for £16500 as she is, so thought I'd offer it up here as I'd rather she went to a happy home!
Anyone offer £18k?
here are some pics -

Nice colour - got to be worth waay more than £16.5? In fact, surely even at £18 is a bit of a steal? Doubt you'll have it for long, mate

I'd agree, given the mileage and if its a clean as suggested, even considering a service (major?), its gotta still be around £19K.
Good luck with the sale.
I recall considering this car before I bought my black one, and it was a very close call.

Agree, nice colour, good price. Why is the RS4 badge at the back on the wrong side?
GL with the sale.

Hmm until you see it how do you know it doesn't need tyres, wheel refurb, brakes, paintwork? Maybe the trader has seen it.
To do all those exc paintwork you are looking at £2.5k and paintwork isn't cheap either
Then there's thermostat (£695 with belt change), MAF £100. lambda/EGT sensors (£100 each), DVs (£30 each), synros, clutch (£600) etc
And the service is a few hundred quid.
If all (or most) of the above are OK then it's good value but a trader will always assume the worst and I can't say I blame them with a car this potentially expensive.
Having said that the trader will ask £20k + (I would) and probably do very little to it unless he has to.
Call me a cynic if you must - it is worth a look though!

Never noticed the badge location! it was de-badged when I got it, and I'd asked the dealer to put the badge back on - guess some monkey couldnt tell left from right..
The wheels have been refurbed, (i've got a spare set of wheels too for the winters) decent tyres, clutch replaced about 45k when the gearbox had the synchro's replaced under warranty so its a nice clean machine!
