    At last! I now own an RS4...

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    ...hey everybody, I've been on the hunt for a good/great RS4 for more than a year now. Yesterday I picked her up, today I arrived home with it.

    It's an '08, Red, Stone-White Interior and it only has/had 34,160 miles on the clock. It was listed as having 2 owners, however I found out that the guy who owned it - unfortunately - passed away and willed it to his sister. To which there you have the second owner. Subsequently, she parked it for nearly 3 years...how about that. In those 3 years only 150 miles were put on the car.

    Now that's the story, and I'm sticking to it... cuz I love the way it sounds.

    When she decided to sell, there was a little work done that I have the service records for;

    New Rotors front and back
    New Pads front and back
    New Auxiliary Radiator, because the old one cracked due to corrosion from setting so long
    New Tires all the way around, not great ones but hey...still new
    All fluids flushed and refilled
    Oil and Filter Change
    Air and Cabin Filters changed
    New Battery
    And a nice detail in and out

    The car was just outside of Chicago. My companies HQ is in Chicago. I was there this week. After I was done, I picked up the car and drove it from Chi-Town to Northern Virginia. Quite the "break in" test drive. You all already know this, but - DAMN, the car is just awesome. I can't believe the deal I got. And this isn't a good RS4, it's a great one!

    Well...that's all for now!

    Love the story - given she's a '08 any chance she's a titanium? Spotted a titanium this AM for the first time and of course did a double take..

    Congrats, man, that's a superb example. I saw this car on Autotrader in recent weeks. I'd bet there's less than five Misano Red/Silver Nappa RS4s in the country. Beautiful & hyper-rare car.

    Super nice, low miles and love the interior. Congrats! Titanium that thing out and it will look sinister.

    Is that front bumper repainted? Looks so shiny and there are no rock chips in it or crashing on the underside.

    I don't believe it is repainted. In addition to the Carfax Vehicle History report, I have two other sources that I tap into. They're two separate databases that consist of Insurance Claims. Both of them show nothing on this car, not even a glass claim. Now, does that mean this person didn't have something done on their own - out of pocket...no. However, I'm feeling pretty good about 3 different data sources (all getting their data from different sources) saying that this car is clean.

    White interior was never a option - only black or silver. I looked into special ordering a interior of tan and it was a US$15K option

    Congrats on the new car
