Shopping for Rs4s is scary... anyone know this car Y465 YRS

Post by mattsimis » Mon Jul 21, 2008 12:34 pm

Its the red one on Pistonheads. Looks nice though needs a service, however I just did a HPI check and the mileage was logged as 136,000 miles in Dec 2005! compared to the 72,000 its advertised as.

Whats the deal with RS4s, as they this prone to dodgy crap?

Rubbish. He's knocking them out at 19-27k for mint motors. you get what's you pay for in this wrold and 14k will get you a fooked motor which is a liability. I'd rather pay 5-10k more for a much better motor. I'll leave the dogs to you mate.

I know you werent addressing me, but thats a needlessly hostile response.

In times like this and when dealing with an aging motor whose value is virtually 100% percieved (ie collecters) value in the minds of a few, the seller gets what they are offered.
I buy and sell only fairly rare and unusual cars (just for myself, not a business) and generally I make fairly massive losses as there is simply no interest this side of the Irish sea, no matter what alleged £â‚¬ prices are thrown around on forums. From what Ive read its not that different over there.

As needless as your exclamation marks?

As I said you get what you pay for in this World and you don't get many good, clean and honest RS4's for under the 19k mark with low miles.

I don't know what the Irish market is like but over here the RS market is bustling most of the time, ring Nick and ask him how many motors he goes through.

Exclamation marks, you mean the one Ive used in this thread? I get the feeling you cant read very well.

No one asked for the impossible RS4 that's dirt cheap with low miles and no issues, you know that, you were just being a elitist jerk. You have added nothing to this thread.
