The Not So Good bits
Really not many, while the bodywork is in excellent condition, there are the usual minor stone chips but they really are very minor. The mileage is above the 100k barrier but the car has been extremely well looked after, I ALWAYS let her warm up fully before opening the taps.
The RS4 alloys are badly scuffed (they were on my previous car as well as this one) although i'm sure a good refurb place could sort them out, but this is why i'm offering the original Avus wheels with the car. These are in very good condition, although 1 has a bad scuff (but this the spare) and one has very minor marks on the face (previous owner claimed a careless tyre garage grease monkey to blame for these). These will however need new rubber, they are down to the markers and have no legal life in them.
Oh and just the other day some thieving toe-rag nicked two of the centre caps off the RS4 rims so i've got a new set of 4 on order, which will obvisouly be included.
The Good Bits
Despite being on 115k miles the car drives excellently, still pulls like a train and has been very well looked after. The previous owner put a large portion of the miles on commuting up and down motorways so the miles it's done have been easy ones. It's ALWAYS warmed up and cooled down properly before and after a spirited run, and there's no nasty whistling or ghostly howls from the turbo's, they both sound perfectly healthy.
All majorly expensive work has been done recently (Full Cambelt and tensioners etc as well as water pump replacement) so no need for any costly maintenance works any time soon.
Also, It's just about to have a full service as well, and a brand new MOT put on as well as new 6 months TAX so literally no money needs spending on this car!
The Price
I'm looking for a realistic £7,495 but am open to sensible offers.
I would prefer the car go to enthusiast, preferably someone on here who i know will look after her the way she deserves!
The Pictures
I have some and will post them up here ASAP (check back tonight!)
Feel free to contact me if you need any more info, or have any questions. PM me to start with and if necessary we can discuss over the phone.
Test drives welcome subject to me seeing driving license and full insurance! Otherwise feel free to come and have a look, i'm in West Sussex (eve's and weekends are best, weekdays are difficult due to work).
Thanks for reading,
James.
booooo!
