    Picked up a cheap B7 RS4 from collecting cars last week.

    Over the moon, why have I waited so long to get one!!

    Always wanted an RS4, cane so close to buying one but ended up in an M3. Manual V8, what’s not to like !

    What’s the spec, I can’t imagine it was “cheap” from CC

    It's leggy (125k) and comfort seats, but good history and drc replaced with KW. CC always seem cheap to me? With fees and cost to collect it still owes me under 10k.

    Super! I had one for 4 years until 2020. Certainly one of the best cars I ever had with an awesome engine. I am sad they are so cheap now as it will kill off a lot of them.

    Can't see them getting any cheaper. Look at the price of b5's now!

    I traded mine in for only 13k in 2020, which was pretty depressing. I believed they would reach classic status sooner as were so well regarded when new, naturally aspirated, manual, etc., but seem to be a bit forgotten. In the four years I had it it was overall really trouble free. It needed a carbon clan quite badly when I got it at around 40k miles, and the usual vacuum leaks sorted, but aside from that the only issue is the very common one of the front Brembos being a very poor design and would develop vibration no matter what I did. It really could do with better discs. For an NA car it also responded quite well to a remap which raised the rev limit to 8400 and 430-ish BHP (from actual 400-ish, as the claimed 414 was optimistic).

    I'm dying to get this one deflapped and mapped!

    Watched the video that Chris put up. Love things like this. I have to admit I was quite sceptical when CC came about but it does seem to be a great place to buy and sell.

    Yes. That’s the one! I like how down to earth the video was, here’s my mate Mr TI22 and we are off to pick up a bargain he’s got!
