    For Sale: RHD Polar Silver RS2 87K miles

    After 3 years of very enjoyable ownership my RS2 is up for sale.



    Details of my car:
    Polar Silver RS2, right hand drive, 1st registered 02.01.1995
    87,002 miles (as it is at the time of writing this post)
    Full black leather interior
    Full history from new and fully documented with a big file of receipts and all paperwork back to original purchase. First owner being AFN Isleworth (Porsche/Audi dealership) as the managing director's car. Later sold to the managing director's wife. Total of 6 previous registered keepers, but in effect only has had 3 owners as has moved between company and private ownership of same individual more than once. This is confirmed by DVLA documentation which I have.

    Since I have had the car I have replaced almost all the wear and tear parts to bring the car back to original condition. Recent history includes:

    At 79,800 miles had new lambda probe, new WGFV, Forge 007 DV, fuel filter replaced, Black Samco Boost hoses and was then tuned by MRC Tuning to 350 -370 bhp & 375 lbsft (figures vary depending on rolling road.
    At 82,700 miles had new OE dampers and bushes all round. At the same time had OE "big red" factory brake upgrade with brand new callipers discs and pads. The new rear cross drilled discs have not yet been fitted as the rear discs were not required at that stage. I have these with new pads etc.
    At 85,400 miles a set of four Pirelli P Zero Rosso 225/45 R17 tyres fitted, which not surprisingly still look like new. Samco black coolant hoses fitted.
    At 86,800 miles has had a cylinder head rebuild with replacement of all valves, new crankshaft pulley, cambelt, water pump & tensioner, as well as new cylinder head gasket etc. All this work is fully warranted with all genuine parts used.

    Other "modifications" include: VAG Parts HID headlight upgrade, black Samco coolant hoses, clear side indicators, aero wipers front & rear, Porsche centre caps on wheels, stubby aerial.

    Becker Mexico Pro head unit with red illumination and iPod control, with iPod docking cable in glovebox.
    Parrot CK3100 bluetooth handsfree kit (link)

    Shortly after buying the car (March 2004) I had all the bodywork tidied, this involved replacing the side trims and having all of the car resprayed apart from the roof to bring it up to a standard I was happy with.

    Also I have a pair of brand new rear brake callipers to go on the car, which I was going to fit at the same time as the new cross-drilled rear brake discs. I have a repair kit for the existing rear callipers, a tin of OE Porsche guards red paint and new decals to refurb the old rear callipers when they come off. There is also a set of TUV-approved Goodridge stainless braided brake hoses to go on the car.
    I also have a spare rear differential which I bought of Sal, this is a "just in case" spare as it is the single most expensive part listed for the car. It came off an RS2 that had done 120K, but is an insurance policy of sorts. I have got a big box of other miscellaneous spares, a lot being originals of items I have replaced for cosmetic reasons, such as headlight lenses, foglights etc.

    Included will be 4 big A4 files which include all the available relevant Audi workshop manuals printed out and various electronic copies of brochures, magazine articles etc.

    The car was MOT'd on the 4th January 2007 and is taxed until the end of June 2007.
    The car also has a transferable full cover warranty that lasts until the end of December 2007.

    Overall I have not seen a tidier RS2 since owning this car. I have receipts for about £6K spent in the last 3 years to bring the car up to it's current condition. There may be cheaper RS2's out there, but not many with lower mileage than this one. Also this one has had all the major work recently done and in effect has new suspension, new upgraded brakes and new tyres aswell as a warranty.

    I would rather sell this car to an enthusiast who will fully appreciate it for what it is.
    It is up at £13,995
    PM me if you want any more info

    I will post up some new current pics at the weekend.

    The reason I am selling is that I now have an RS4 and cannot justify keeping two RS Audi's.

            seems a bit cheap Glyn?

            I know of not as nice as your car going for £17500 only a few months ago,, but was Nogaro

            it sold very quickly from the tautotrader...

            You won't have any trouble selling it!

            How come all the head work? mines on 80.000 and not had any issues. My ABY in the UR has done well over 200.000 without a valve stem seal... still perfect.

              The headwork is due to the fact the Woodruff key on the main crank pulley coming out, so causing the the crank pulley not to rotate with the crank and therefore damaging some of the valves.
              This occurred whilst the car was in at Brighton Audi for a wheel alignment check! They took it out for a roadtest and broke it
              Everything is now back as it should be and is a warrantied repair. It took them ages to source the parts and there was much wrangling between my warranty company an Audi Brighton, as to who was paying for it, so the car was off the road for a while.

                  That is an absolute beauty!

                  If only I had a) £14k sitting around waiting to be spent, and b) didn't live in the kind of area where an RS2 would attract a little bit too much interest from the local hooligans ....

                  Ho hum. Best of luck with the sale!

                    Yes, an absolute beauty!

                    If I hadn't just committed to buying an S2, as well as running an S4, I would be VERY tempted...

                    Good luck with the sale - I'm sure it will be snapped up soon.

                    Can I also say what a refreshing change it is to be able to comment in the For Sale section of a forum without some snotty moderator jumping down your throat saying "this isn't a discussion forum"...

                      Must admit the more I think about it. The higher the price should be. Mine was just short of 17K beginning 2004 from indep trader @ 78k. I have had to do a similar list of things (approx 5K) except only bonnet respray and no major engine work (but it had a new short engine block on Audi in 2003).

                          That price seems fair considering the car is clean and has lots of work done.
                          Prices have dropped since 2004!! Current autotrader prices. Including a lowish miles MTM RS2 at £12995!

                              Yes, I realise prices have dropped. Yes, I realise the price is fair. However if you have such a good example of a rare (RHD) car with under 100k IMHO you should test the market. If you watch the market as I did before I bought mine and after these good examples that will not need you to pay to sort out are rare. A few low miles cars have come up but all would have potentially needed the usual sorts. That adds up to a few K with the RS2.
