I can confirm my wife's September 2010 Avant manual just cost me £485... 
What's it like? Coming from a impreza wagon and need a bit bigger. Car I have seen has 75k on it for a 10 plate so higher than I would like but the price reflects it. Shouldn't be an issue should it? Manual too.There's a known issue with B8 platform manuals where it gets increasingly difficult to fully disengage the clutch - you end up with a clutch change and a bunch of ancilliary parts to fix the linkage. Don't even bother asking for a price on a new dual mass flywheel (there's not much change from £1k) but there are aftermarket options in the low hundreds instead

Manual too.As Adrian rightly points out, I have had the clutch fault and had to replace the flywheel, clutch kit and some other updated parts out of my own pocket (dealer changed the master cylinder under warranty). Easy way to check the car you are looking at: The pedal should be able travel to hit the floor easily and not stop before. The only parts worn on my old clutch were the flywheel and release bearing (I posted a video on a clutch thread).
Driving differences:
The Subaru had wonderful turn into corners and fantastic feedback, the S4 is leaden and nose heavy in comparison.
The S4 is also much quicker in a straight line and returns the same MPG as my old Subaru.
