    So what do you see wrong here?

    Yes, this is an RS5 (not an S4) and we can see from the Carfax that the car has had a trouble life. However, there is something in the pictures that stood out to me (that I think is clearly not legit) that is not mentioned on the Carfax. I told a buddy that I was pretty sure there was a major issue clearly visible in some of the pictures be he's calling BS. I told him we'd see what AZ thinks. Take a look at this car and tell me what you see.

    You nailed it. Those look like stolen A5 seats. For a minute, it looked like one of the arcs from each rim is missing....

    Pss, I would run away. It probably has an engine swap too into a 6 cylinder and the glass was replaced with plastic.

    EXACTLY! To me they look like S-Line seats. Definitely not RS5 seats. My buddy isn't going to buy it. He sent it to me but swears by the company selling it. He swears they're 100% legit but I don't think so. As soon as I saw those seats I told him that car was buss$hit.

    Offleaseonly is a questionable business. Never buy anything of value in S Fl, lol. We are the fraud capital of the US. Offleaseonly specializes in high depreciation and "higher end" cars that have been wrecked and patched and sold to non assuming non car people. Ive been on a couple of their lots. I left not wanting to ever return.

    You could order an RS5 with the "comfort" seat option which is the A5 seats. Do a search for RS5 comfort seats it's legit

    If you are in the market...
    Here's a RS5 2013, with only 18k for 50k can probably offer lower too. Lowest i have seen with that type of mileage. Take off that bike rack and sell it and get yourself another $200 lol.

    Yep, these are the perforated comfort seats. They became an option in 2014. They have integrated cooling and as said are basically the A5 seats. The RS5 had three seat options. Comfort, sport and bucket. At first only the sport seats were available in the US, then they added the comfort seat option, but we never got the bucket seats, because they require the side airbag to be disabled.

    They have smaller bolsters and add the cooling option. So yes, some people prefer that and consider them more comfortable. I know someone with an RS5 convertible that got that option. To keep the SO happy.

    Has black optics, so no silver mirrors, RS5 do not have fog lights, seats already discussed, I dont see an issue with the grill since its BO its going to be all black.

    OMG Grosssssss. But the buy back. Audi bought the car back and fixed whatever issue it had and it was resold at auction. Not an uncommon thing to happen. my guess is that an Audi Field engineer went to the dealer and worked with a tech and they fixed whatever issue it had audi took the vehicle and sold it at auction. If your buddy really wants it call AOA and they will give you the run down on the car.
