RS4: Does anyone know anything about this RS4? Im looking to buy one

[S|Quattro|4]

Does anyone know anything about this RS4?

I called the guy and he is not willing to budge on his price.

He said that the auction price (w/e that means) is $8k above his asking price. I asking him why he's selling it that much lower than the auction price, and he said it is because the car has paint work on the rear quarter panel. I asked him what had happened, but he has no idea, or is not willing to tell, and it is not reported on the car fax.

Im just trying to figure out exactly why his price is that low and what actually happened. I remember there was an RS4 on ebay and it turned out to be that the car had a lot of damage done to the front end and many parts were replaced, and the car fax was clean.

So again, does anyone know anything about this car?

Thanks!

That's cheap! He means this car would sell at an auction for more than he's asking for it. And it would as long as it was in good condition and no visible body work.

[S|Quattro|4]

I know that. Ive been looking at RS4s for a while now, and that car, an 08 with 23k miles, should be going for about 51k if not a little more. So, Im just trying to figure out why he is selling it so low. I doubt its because he wants to get rid of the car fast. And if it is for that reason, then theres something hes not saying. It just seems weird to me that hes selling it for that price JUST because it has paint work. I have a felling theres more than just paint work...

Not that good of a deal especially for paint work. I have found quite a few 07's for 44k that are perfect. I wouldnt buy it if there are questions that cant be answered.

[Sharkfin]

I'm surprised that is it actually that much, when I read your post I thought it was going to be a great deal, but it's not. If he's sketchy and you don't know the history, then pass. It's not that good of a deal.

Wow... it's amazing that despite how good something may look, a problem like frame damage may be lurking below the prettiness.

Oh Hai... Click me.

Awesome, thanks man! I love the Zine

[S|Quattro|4]

What do you guys think this car should go for then if it has structural damage?

I was going to say... that vehicle had a major accident on the carfax... it was on ebay 2 months ago... and they were asking the same price because of "Dirty Carfax". Ususally the vehicles with Accident report loose the value up to 20%

Mine is still available though :) with clear carfax.

[jareds941]

Yeah, I bought my car two months ago and that car was for sale back then.

If it seems too good to be true, probably is...

[Maddog3xx8]

$Stay away....$$$

Structural / Frame damage reported

not only stay away but run from it as fast as you can..

This car was for sale when I was shopping for mine...I knew there was a reason I didn't even consider it... I love how the cars.com ad spells out "clean carfax" too... shady mcshadypants

My car is exactly like the OP posted (minus the frame damage) 21K garaged in fantastic shape. I could be persuaded to sell somewhere south of $55K...

What what what??? theguz, selling out?

[rlarsen462]

Sat in this car in person and met the seller (before he was selling), this is the one to buy (the one in the post below).

You know I go back and forth. It really is an amazing car, but on the weekends if it's dry, I tend to go on motorcycle rides. Once you get hooked on bikes (NOT Harley's) everything else just seems a bit tame. So I drive my RS4 back and forth to work the vast majority of the time which is why I've considered selling.

Sup wth "NOT Harley's" :), I have had both types and got addicted to both for different reasons (cruiser vs. sport bike), still have the Harley and sold my last sport bike (sorta, really a standard, it was a bandit, but the motor was a torqy beast, especially after Mr. Holeshot fixed it up). The sport bikes are a rush like no other(with <10 sec 1/4mi and 2.5 sec 0-60 I guess that is a "no shit" statement :)),, but I love the cruiser ride too, 88ci with stage 1+ and a ton of other mods (of course), it ain't the same as a sport bike on speed, but loads of fun and addictive for other reasons... and still has that great cageless feel I love about bikes, and relative to 4 wheels, it ain't what I would call tame (especially compared to Quattro 4 wheels).

I have never tracked a bike though, nor dragged a knee like you are on the track at speed... one experience I missed out on... along with never laying one down which is nice. Myabe the two are related... I am a relative p*ssy on two wheels...

[jareds941]

What about this car? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Audi-...fCarsQ5fTrucks




PS: what do the little badges on the interior door panels say?

[koolade9]

^^^audi exclusive...the custom interior from audi.

That exhaust is like $4k

[zachf88]

That glut RS4's interior is quite worn!

[snkp360]

Holy Mother of God that's a hot car.....

I wouldn't buy a Harley (or any cruiser) just like I wouldn't buy an Eldorado. I gravitate toward performance oriented vehicles. Imo riding bikes is already one of the most risky activities one can partake in so I choose to ride a bike that's precise and responsive in case things go bad quickly. And we don't ride the interstates (cruiser territory) unless they're a means to an end, usually the twisties. When I get to the twisties I want to enjoy them and having a naked, sports etc bike is best for the type of riding I do. One thing all motorcyclists enjoy though is the comraderie while out riding irregardless of what type of bike you're riding.

[colt45]

yeah I have been watching that Glut Orange RS4 on ebay. I would love to buy that car. love the HRE wheels that are on it.

[WinterRunner]

The interior is quite worn though... Im not a huge fan of the wheels anyways...

[Sharkfin]

Sick wheels and exhaust, wow.

[UberDave]

At least the dealer has the decency to include pics of the wear.

[crafty]

THis one has been available for a few months now... perhaps there is room on the price... or if Graham still owns it, perhaps there isn't cos he can wait as long as he needs to :).

I will certainly agree that I wouldn't call my softtail a canyon carver, manuverability is certainly a whole different ballgame with a cruiser, the center of gravity difference and posture alone make it a totally different experience for sure. I can see why some wouldn't enjoy that, definitely do miss carving... and the braking difference for that matter, even with my upgraded brakes it isn't even close to a stock sport bike. I learned avoidance on a sport bike and felt like with appropriate practice and attention/reflexes I could get out of damn near any situation. When learning the cruiser it became clear that I needed to be ready to best minimize the damage of / control a wreck JIC, although I practive swerves alot and cruisers are more nimble that you would think with practice, I have seen dressers swerve like no ones business :). As far as interstates, I avoid them at all costs on the cruiser as well... that is cagers territory... and too many of them not paying attention to WTF they are doing to make the ride anything other than annoying... for me at least. I admit that before I rode 2 wheels I wasn't as observant for bikes as I am now, so I kinda understand, but then I was never as bad (I hope!) as some of the people that have almost killed me! I will look for the nice backroad farm highways to get from A to B if I can, even at twice the distance, more enjoyable scenery anyway...

One thing all motorcyclists enjoy though is the comraderie while out riding irregardless of what type of bike you're riding.

No doubt, one of the coolest cultures I have ever seen. I quickly learned to pull off into a place where you expect to see parked cars/bikes when I need to pull over for a break or whatever, the two times I pulled over on the side of the road, the first bikes that passed me each time turned around to see if everything was cool or if I needed help (the bandit was really buzzy, after 45 min or so of ~60 cruising, I had no feeling in my hands whatsoever, got that fixed real quick!). Between that and the FTW salutes, I have never seen a culture anything like it!
