Audi B8 RS4

[sidicks]

Just bought one!

2014, 45k mikes, Blue.

Needs some paint correction but I’m sure it will look perfect when Rob has finished with it!

Well done I am looking for a 2014-2015 rs4 B8 with the options that I want but I am not keen on some of the options so I am trying to avoid those ones.
Trying to find a good one is quiet difficult in my experience.

I sold my sepang blue 2014 this time last year. Great car, just be warned the gearboxes can be a bit flakey and a replacement is 5 figures so might be worth considering an insured warranty?

Thanks - yes this one is under the Audi approved used car program, so comes with a 12-month warranty, and I will renew that when it expires.

Out of interest, which options are you keen to include and which ones are you trying to avoid?!

Good stuff. Also worth getting them to check whether the front suspension was done as it’s prone to knocking especially when cold and there’s a TSB out on it, I never had mine done because it didn’t bother me much but it’s one of the favourite topics on RS246.

Was it the one at West London Audi? I’m a little biased but I reckon sepang blue is one of the nicest colours on the road so good choice!

Yes, it was that one!

I've got a2014 Sepang Blue RS4 with Lunar Silver and carbon Inserts. I Have the dynamic pack with adjustable suspension, throttle/gearbox and suspension, with black pack, panoramic roof and Bang & Olufsen stereo. Would also be interested to know what options wouldn't be worth having? Superb car, makes me smile every time I look at it and drive.

What bits are Lunar Silver?

Congrats OP - I think they look fantastic, probably better than the latest version.. I took out a B9 RS4 recently, while it was very fast, all the sound seemed simulated. Very little can beat that NA V8 sound which is glorious!

Enjoy and love to see some pictures!

It's well worth keeping the warranty as although they're fairly bomb proof, when things go wrong, they're expensive.
Many people assume that as it's an A4, it'll be normal A4 prices for parts, but everything has that RS tax on it and bumps up the cost of even the simplest repair.
I'm on my second B8 now, and my current one has 55k miles on it now since I got it new in 2014, and it's a really great car
I have a B9 coming in a few weeks, but I'm going to miss that V8 noise and the high redline
Get some pics up when you can

Will definitely be keeping it under Audi Warranty!

I’ve put a deposit on the Venetian Purple car at T H Boler. Not everybody’s cup of tea but I love it. Are there any others about in this colour? It’s a well specced car with black pack and buckets. Hope to pick it up at the weekend all being well. Can’t wait!

I think buckets are very rare, so you've done well to find that car. I look forward to seeing some pictures!

Gorgeous colour and a great spec. Oxford Audi had a Venetian SQ7 and it was stunning.

TH Boler are a good little dealer, hope they've treated you well. They have a P1 GTR in stock atm

A lot of their cars are SOR and are on pricey side, but they do have a fine selection! Certainly an interesting place to visit and I’ve no complaints so far.
I’m hopefully collecting tomorrow (Sat) weather permitting.
The cars just been serviced by Oxford Audi, so should be good to go!
I’ll post some pics soon...

It was supplied by Stafford Audi and I found these pics whilst trawling internet, so it’s likely to be the same car. I’ll take some more when I get it, to show the colour in a better light...

Very nice indeed!

Picked my car up last week. Drove back from Oxfordshire in very mixed weather conditions, including a bit of fresh snow that was settling. Impressed with how planted it feels. Very pleased with it so far...
Gave it a good clean up before tucking it away in the garage. Love the rear arch view!
