Stumbled on this beauty, couldn't help myself

... just went I was about to start a "what should I buy poll/thread), a local owner traded in this car . Its always been on my short list, and it seemed like a no brainer after talking to the previous owner. The dealership had this car in all of 1 day. The internet sale guy and sales manager was surprised at the quick sale.








First impressions...my goodness, this thing is quick! I thought I would be turned off by the red, but its not bad at all. Even with the color, its not a head turner like the Z was.

Ok. I thought it was a special order pink ... Clearly the color is off.

Congratulations on the RS4 man, that's a great car. Definitely sign up for <strike>Acur</strike>Audizine ... What're the stats on it? Year, miles?

I'm jesalous ... There's a guy here in my neighborhood with one and every time he gooses the throttle I die inside a little because I don't have one

This one is an 07 w/ a shade under 50K. No mods other than the powdercoated wheels. All service records (which is nice), and recently had the carbon clean completed. I'm already on audizine from my previous adventures as a S4 owner.

Oh yes, I know. Figured posting would lure you out of the shadows. Carbon cleanup has been done, so thats a good thing. The next two are up.

I plan on driving it up sometime in August. Most of my miles will be in the Accord though.

Congrats dude!! I've always been intrigued with the S4s. Looks like it was well taken care of and great color choice! Were these available with anything other than a 6mt? DSG or something along those lines?

^ Paid 43K out the door. Price was 3K under book and average for cars in 500 mile radius with similar mileage. For me, the next closest one was in Tampa.

Nice pick up man. I personally like the red color, but some black accents on that would be just

They do but with a much better offset IMO. I've always liked them for some reason on the RS4

A warranty is going to be a tough one ... I was quoted over $5k for my 2005 S4 back in 2009. I think that was a 5/100k.

You might be better off just putting $5k in the bank unless you can find something. I don't know that Fidelity still writes warranties on them.
