Audi S4 just bought... NICE!

[ZeroK66]

Hello people...

Newbie(ish) here. I have owned a few toys in my time... prior to this S4 I had a 2.8q - very dull!

The car I am getting is being sold by a dealer w/ 35k on the clock. Its imola & has blue suade recaros.

Its a facelift 2000 model & has been "chipped" and has an exhaust. What chip and exhaust gawd only knows - hoping you guys can help me out with my first steps.

I seem MRC? mentioned a few times... are they prefered over the likes of AMD? What should my first checks on the car be - what should I be monitoring over the coming weeks?

Cheers,
Leon

jees, thats low milage for a 2000, hit jack pot there unless you paid top money? u got any pics for us guys to see. what was your 1st impression on driving.

[ZeroK66]

Not driven her yet... she is being prepared by the dealer. I paid a VERY fair price for it, so I am very happy. I traveled 6 hours return on trains this weekend to see it/drive it... the tosser sales guy had the keys locked in the workshop!! Decided to tell me this when I was 10 mins away - I was fuming. But having seen her in the flesh calmed me down - its immac... the interiour is gorgeous... BLue alcantara Recaros - both front & rear - VERY ~hot~ - so over the moon with that.

Have to wait till next weekend (thanks to a plate change) then I may have her for Saturday... probably be early next week

Am I crazy buying an S4 without even seeing it (initally) and now not having driven it??? - but I know its all good. It is coming from a dealer with a 1 year warranty - so all good

I will get some pics sorted as soon as she is in my possetion. A few below for now...

That looks the dogs B******s mate,you got the right colour too! Had mine 5 weeks now and love it(also imola yellow),but with black leather!
enjoy sweating for the next week or so, but its worth it!

[ZeroK66]

I am gagging!! its not even funny!

YOu going to be at pod on the 25th? I am going to MRC for a checkup at 10am then going down to pod... assuming they give the car a clean bill of health!! I think there are a few people off here going.

[LeeMarshall]

I want to go down but not sure at the mo? it depends on the missus! want to get mine down to MRC also for health check and remap!
Also, where abouts is the pod? im in staff's so may go if its not too far? cheers Lee

[s4woody]

[Jez]

Very nice

Low mileage too!

[ZeroK66]

Well keep a look out for me and approach me please. I obviously dont know you guys, so someone to introduce me would be good. *cross fingers* MRC gives it the thumbs up

Thanks for the comments. I was very anxious about the seats till I saw them in the flesh this weekend! They look REALLY good and are not a problem with the yellow ext.

Anyways... I will update this once I get the car next week!

How come the first photo is a different car? Looks like a tiptronic?

[rolskii]

Yeh Im asking the same as searider - whats with TIP piccy - diff model with that interior/door cards..?
Imola yellow is a cool colour - like the sunroof too - miss that greatly .... well done on your S4 --

[gavsteryoung]

Yeah first photo is a B6/B7 S4 not the B5......
and obviously its a Nogaro coloured car, not imola....
