Damaged RS4

Post by QuantumJohn » Mon Oct 23, 2006 2:07 pm

Regular ebay trawllers may have seen this:

I think they will be very lucky to get £11K for this. Notice how the cambelt is off. Needs an engine or a rebuild at the very least.

Do the airbags only go off when they detect someone is sitting in the relevant seat? I know the passenger one could have been turned off in this particular case.

I've email the seller but he want's top money for it , but it's got 110k on it and with a £3000 repair bill for the engine on top + a full front end it'll soon cost more than £7000 to fix . Not a bargin as you can get a nice one with 1/2 the milage and not a cat d for 20k .. I would have it for 4 or 5 k as i've got the bits to fix ...... :wink:

It got sold recently on an auction site for traders for 10-11k if memory serves. The moderate frontal damage might very well mean 30 new valves and 6 new pistons. Not what I consider "moderate" in terms of cost....
