S4 or Quattro

[Fatneck73]

I need a new daily driver...and fancy an S4 or some sort of nippy Quattro. I've got £10k max. Anyone have anything that may be of interest?

Ps...any other colour than black or dark blue and preferably 4 or 5 doors.

If you aren't doing huge miles / don't mind the fuel consumption, the V8 S4s are great cars

[Fatneck73]

I'm not and yes I'm sure they are,...but finding a nice one that is somewhere near Essex seems the challenge hence am widening the scope to 'quattro'....but an S4 would be my pref.

I have also been looking for an s4. Distance isn't the problem, it's finding a good one that's the problem. I have just found one but high mileage and on long life service regime. Will need to have a look but on paper sounds a great car with loads of toys. I har also looked at others but even 2.0t Quattro are going for more money!!

I have started looking at rs6 from the same year(2004) and they are going for the same money but I don't know much about them.

[Fatneck73]

I suspect the C5 is a whole different deal - I've had one, loved it but far too extreme for what I'm after here.

What about an S3? And with a turbo it's easy to tune if you fancy a little tweaking! No idea what sort of age / milage 10k gets you though but I'm guessing you can get a recentish one that'll be reliable enough as a daily.

[Fatneck73]

Yep, an S3 would also tick the box but they seem to be £5k or less or £15k+... There's very few in between I.e. Less than 100k with fsh etc. I think I'm preferring the S4 for the grunt....or poss 3.2 Quattro. How can it be so hard!

My B7 S4 is for sale, great car ! Let me know if you have any questions

[HYFR]

CliveH has an amazing B6 S4 for sale on srs.com
He's after £5,995 and although its got 100k on the clock, its worth every penny.

Ill second what Dk says Clive is renowned for looking after his cars and his s4 is a peach

[HYFR]

yep, fully milly and MRC remap, its prob push 360PS, not far off some B7 RS 4's

[chunky79]

Clives car is my old car, cracking motor. He has done loads to it since he bought it from me. Jolly nice chap too.

[HYFR]

Yep.
I offered a cheeky £5k, but its well worth the asking price...I just don't really need it, but was tempted.
