    Odd that it's been serviced almost exclusively by Hiley, only to have the Mercedes dealership being the one to sell it. I'd be putting a call into Hiley for a chat.

    Doesn't seem that odd to me. Could've had it serviced at the Audi dealership, maybe even bought Audicare pre-paid maintenance, then traded it in on some flavor of Mercedes.

    Okay, I have both, and I have to say, I love the RS5 over my S4. I look forward to my "fun car Friday" with my RS5. Two completely different cars. Nothing like winding out a V8 past 8000 rpm.

    Looks to be in very good shape and I love the black optics on the white. S4 and RS5's are completely different cars and it comes down to what you want. But here's the thing. You have no idea how this RS5 has been driven. With 72K miles and no warranty it would cost you a lot to get it repaired if something major fails. I just saw a thread that someone has been quoted $23K to have their transmission replaced (Audi does not repair RS5 transmissions). I would not touch this car unless you can get some sort of an extended warranty from Audi. I am not even sure that is possible with this car.
