Hi. I am looking to buy my first performance audi, an RS2. I would look forward in hearing from anybody thinking of selling their RS2. I am a fledgling enthusiast and would want to purchase a car like this from a fellow enthusiast.
I am not particularly fussy about colour although it must be RHD and have a good history. I am loing for a garage queen, but just a solid, weel looked after example. I am based in London.
Thanks for reading.

stevie, thanks for the input. laser is correct, the black number is sold.
I hope another one like that comes along!
the well known saying - a car is only worth what somebody is willing to pay - is very relevant, but was anybody suspicious when the black number was advertised for £10k - and sold for £9k ?
does that generally mean there is a lot of work to be done on the car in the very near future?

Maybe just a buyers market - also 9k in cash may have been a big incentive.

The black one was the guy from Newcastle?? The one with 136k on the clock??
That started on Pistonheads at £15k in February when I bought mine and eventually ended up down at £9k!!!
The dude selling it claimed he had 3 RS2s which I found hard to believe (apologies to him if that was true)

Its true DH he did have 3 RS2s at one stage...but then the dreaded credit crunch and needs must etc etc...i hear on the grapevine he is thinking about selling his prized MTM polar silver one...if he does its not going to be cheap thats for sure as hes spent an absolute fortune on it and its immaculate.

Yes this guy got that RS2 in November 2008 for £6000 the car was advertised on this site last year, My guess is he robbed some parts for his other RS2 and tried to chance his luck making a profit. Still he made a few grand off it.
Would have bought it myself if I had not known what he had payed for it.
