All the work has been carried out by Audi secialists mainly MRC and QST two of the best in the business.

Now the bad bits. When i first bought the car i stupidly did not do a full HPI. I did check it via my text check but did not check the mileage. When i first came to sell the car i was reliably informed by a fellow audi enthusiast that he knew the car before and it had been clocked. I then did a full £30 HPI and he was right it had been clocked in 2004 and had 60k miles taken off. This is minimum that has been taken off so could well be more.

I am being completely honest as i do not want people to be put off by this. I must stress that all the work listed above was carried out during my ownership and after the mileage had been altered with no expense spared.

Im selling to either put the money towards my house or i might even try and talk the girlfriend round to getting an RS4.

the price seems right. think the problem is the stigma attached to the car being clocked. what's it on now ? 160k miles ? thats the problem. the car itself looks good. think it would sell no problem at about £3750 - £4000. depends how bad you want rid of it.

i'd buy it. but not with its history. think a lot of other people would be the same.

just my 2p worth. as you asked.

Price seems ok I guess but like mentioned its been clocked and to be honest no matter how nice the car is I wouldn't touch it mate thats just my opinion but if you want a RS4 just keep what you've got same kind of power???

[stevieyid]

I can see the point it's been clocked. But isn't it the same as buyin a low mileage s2 compared to a high mileage well cared for S2?? This has new turbos suspension all new turbos and exhaust gaskets, top
Mount, front arms, exhaust etc! Surely that better than one that has the genuine mileage displayed but hasn't had that work??

[rob martin]

not really. a low mileage car will be what it is. low mileage and desirable. unfortunately, cars with any bad history will always follow them around. you really need to find that one person who'd want a clocked car and was planning on keeping it because when the time came to pass it on, it will be another struggle to get rid of it then.
a garage / trade will not touch it. i'd be prepared to take a hit on it. sell it cheap. and to be fair, there are plenty of really nice standard ones out there at the moment for £4k or less. they don't have the mods on them but i'd prefer to buy them without and do them myself. a lot of people don't like buying heavily modified cars. they'd sooner do the mods.
if it's cheap, it will sell. if not, it will hang about. depends how much money you need out of it.

[stevieyid]

Been offered £3700 any advances?

, cars with any bad history will always follow them around. you really need to find that one person who'd want a clocked car and was planning on keeping it because when the time came to pass it on, it will be another struggle to get rid of it then.

The fact is has been clocked doesn't bother me personally if the car is good, however I know it would be a pita if I needed to sell it in the future. And you can get unlocked k04'd cars for that money, so I would buy one of them instead. Again the heavily modded market is niche, even more so for a car with that kind of history.

If I was looking to buy one to keep/run into the ground and yours was cheap enough I would buy it, but not otherwise.

£3700 is peanuts for whats been done to this car the history lets it down unfortunately up to you pal its worth what you think really??

[stevieyid]

If I was offered 4k I would probably take it at the mo. I'll wait and see

[stevieyid]

Ok spoke to the misses offers of 4k will get it!!

[rob martin]

i'd take the offer on the table. looking at previous posts, it looks like you been trying to sell it since June 2011 so i'd get shut of it.

its a piece of metal at the end of the day. and to be honest, with rising costs of petrol / insurance its not a bad price.

spend it on the house. you'll get a nice couch for that price !!!

[stevieyid]

Na not selling at £3700 I'll rather break. Got a couch already

[newsh]

Steve think about it 3700 to 4000 = 300 quid difference to start again clean slate. let it go and don't buy it back again.
