RS2 For Sale

[darkhorse1210]

THE CAR HAS NOW SOLD

Due to an impending move abroad I have decided to part with my 1995 Audi RS2 which I have owned for the last 7.5 years. The car is finished in Polar Silver with Black Leather Recaros.

40 high res photos can be found at the link below

The car currently has 163,500 miles on the clock. It has had only 4 owners from new. The car was originally owned by the Earl of Portsmouth and he looked after the car with no expense spared as you would imagine.

I bought the car with 137,000 miles on the clock and drove it for c.5,000 miles a year for the first 5 years of ownership. Over the last 2.5 years the car covered very limited mileage as I have had a business vehicle. However, vital work has been carried out on the car during the last 1,000 miles including (most recent first):

• New Coil Pack & Spark Plugs
• New Cam Belt and Water Pump
• Wheels fully refurbished
• Porsche Brake Calipers stripped and repainted
• 4 Toyo T1Rs
• 4x OEM lower door strips (last set from Audi UK, now NLA)
• 2x new Clifford Alarm Fobs
• New high end Alpine Head Unit with new Focal Rear Speakers

Since the new coil pack and plugs were fitted the car runs extremely well, the acceleration and punch from the turbo has been completely restored.

I have a detailed service history with the car which is available on request in excel format (from 1995 to current date). Key service history includes:

• Oil (Fuchs Titan Race) & Oil Filter changed every 5,000 miles
• Rocker cover gasket replaced @159,000 miles
• Full Air Con system replacement (Condensor, compressor, refrigerant pipe, dryer) @158,000 miles
• Gearbox Selector Socket & Ball replaced @157,000 miles
• OEM rear brake discs & pads replaced at 155,000 miles
• Behr/Hella Main Radiator replaced at 155,000 miles
• New Auxilliary Radiator @ 149,000 miles
• New Pierburg Fuel Pump & Fuel Gauge Sender @ 149,000 miles
• New Lucas Alternator @143,000 miles
• Brake Calipers fully stripped down and refurbished
• Turbo rebuild @100,000 miles
• Stamped service book by Martins Audi (Basingstoke) up until 90,000 miles

Without doubt the car drives better now than at any point in my ownership, I will be sad to see her go.

One bad point to point out, there is a small area of rust coming trough on the passenger side front arch by the wheel, I have shown this on the pictures.

If you are interested then I do encourage you to call me a call and we can discuss the car, I have had several enquiries already.

Price now reduced to £23,950 ono

Without seeing any pics the price looks absolutely bang on.

Reasonable mileage cars with excellent history have to be a better buy than low mileage original cars that will need lots of money thrown at them.

Good luck with the sale.

Pictures on here will definitely help

That is a great looking RS2 mate , dare I say it,it makes some recent ones for sale look expensive or yours is cheap
GLWS....not that the car should need it.

This reminds me of when I bought my 205. More miles on the clock which put people off, hence it was priced accordingly, yet it was in far better condition with more jobs 'ticked off' recently than other cars asking far more money

GLWS!

Thanks for all the positive comments on here and for the interest shown by those who have been in touch.

I will advertise the car more widely (Pistonheads, Auto Trader etc) next week sometime to try and catch the Christmas browsers but wanted to give those dedicated to this forum the first option on the car as this is after all the spiritual home for all S2/RS2s owners/wannabe owners.

Has the timing belt water pump etc been done in your ownership?

Morning all

If you are interested then please call me, I have been inundated with email requests from Pistonheads and it's kinda difficult to keep up with that.

Photos not loading but sounds like a great car for the money. By the way, where are you off to? why not take it with you?...

Price Drop

Price now reduced to £23,950

The number of timewasters I've had in touch is unbelievable

This is a straight, honest RS2 with bags of service history and continuity of ownership having had just 4 owners since new.

If you're interested please do call me and we can discuss, I must have had at least 20 people email via Pistonheads who just seem to be bored and have nothing better to do that talk about the RS2, as much as I love the car I'm tired of replying to emails.

Drop me a line on 07942 800 160, I'm open to sensible offers despite dropping he asking price by £2,500 already.
