Ok if you're looking for a low mileage showcar then look away now.
However, if you want a very well looked after, full service, low-owner example, with traceable ownership (on the srs forum) from day 1, with every bill, invoice and MOT that has ever been bestowed upon it, by enthusiast owners then feel free to read on...
For sale, ONLY because I'm buying an rs4, we have my very well presented 2000MY facelift b5 S4 avant in silver.
So I'll get the mileage out the way first... 282,659 and counting. The previous owner lives in Hereford and used to commute in this to London and back everyday because it was better than public transport. I bought it with 270+ thousand on the clock and it hasn't put a foot wrong, true testament to how impeccably it has been serviced and pampered its whole life.
On top of this, she is still running ORIGINAL turbos and clutch and everything is still as tight at you'd expect from a car with less than average mileage. All rear arm, front arms and bushes have been replaced in the last year, along with a full 4-wheel alignment.
The car has been in to MRC a few times in my ownership and condition is always commented upon, considering the mileage.
Seeing as though the service and bill history is so massive I could be here all day writing and detailing it all out, but suffice to say it's never skipped one it's whole life and the book is full to the brim and the invoice file is a good inch thick..
CAMBELT was replaced with the water pump in 2014 and I'd suggest it's done again at the end of this year or early 2018 depending on the mileage you drive.

Dash says it due a service.. I'm more than happy to negotiate this on the price or take it to MRC prior to collection, by negotiation.
Bad points -
Mechanically there are none, it drives perfectly, no warning lights, no knocks or bangs or until other untoward noises.
Bodywork could do with a freshen up (front wings) and a car-park altercation on the bottom of the passenger door, but that really is it.
To sum up, DO NOT be put off by the mileage, impeccable le service and ownership are far more important and they speak volumes here. There are cars with less than half this mileage and in a really bad way. I love driving it every day, but the desire for an rs4 is too great. If I could keep both I would. The new owner won't be inheriting a list of problems that the owner can't be bothered to fix, here, she wants for nothing mechanically.
There's nothing to hide, and I welcome absolutely any questions or inspection of the car, but confident the first enthusiast to see it, will buy it. This car deserves to see well into 300k miles and needs a further Audi-head to take it there, sympathetically of course.
Alternatively, it could also make for a good project, as a standard car.
V5 is in my name, and I have every key (including the silly plastic one) that it came with from new.
Anywhoo, enough waffling, here's a few pictures (can take specifics, on request) and the price..
Looking for offers around £3750 but happy to negotiate any of this with the buyer....
