2006 AUDI (B7) RS4 AVANT

KEY FACTS

• A superb example of the marque’s high-performance estate, which benefits from a cosmetic overhaul and presents in excellent condition.
• Under the bonnet is a naturally aspirated 4.2-litre V8, which drives all four wheels through a six-speed manual transmission and Audi’s Quattro four-wheel drive system.
• The car was specified with the sought-after ‘wingback’ sport seats, as well as the Black Optic and Technology Packs.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

• It was specified from the factory in the handsome Daytona Grey hue with black leather upholstery, and rides on the original silver alloy wheels.
• Factory options include the Black Optic Pack, Technology Pack, Piano Black inlays, heated ‘wingback’ sport seats, electric sunroof, six-disc CD changer, and a powered tailgate.
• The steering wheel has been swapped to the sought-after flat-bottomed sport wheel, and the head unit has been changed to a more contemporary Pioneer media system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
• The original Audi Navigation Plus unit is also included, which has been refurbished and updated at a cost of £450.
• Accompanying the vehicle are the original owner’s manual and service book, an extensive maintenance history and the original sales brochure, plus two keys and the two original valet keys.

CONDITION

• To the best of the vendor’s knowledge, the bodywork of this estate has never sustained any damage, and it has flush shut lines and smooth panels all around the car.
• During the previous ownership, it underwent a respray to remove a number of age-related stone chips and scratches, and the Daytona Grey paintwork now presents in superb order.
• The headlight lenses and body trims appear to be in great shape, while the car rides on a set of 19-inch alloy wheels, which are in good order on all four corners.
• In May 2021, both front seats were professionally refurbished, so now present in very good order. There is minor creasing across the leather from use, but no significant wear.
• There are some light scratches and scuffs on the door card and dashboard plastics, commensurate with the mileage.
• All of the switchgear is reported to work as it should and there are no warning lights on the dashboard.
• The most recent MOT test was on 19 December 2020 at 110,265 miles, which resulted in a clean pass with no advisories or defects. The wheels come wrapped with Continental tyres, which have only seen a few thousand miles of use.

SERVICE HISTORY

• Its last maintenance was in April 2021 at 110,561 miles, with an intermediate service carried out and a new battery fitted by Audi specialist The Phirm.
• Prior to this, in March 2020 technicians at Revolution Porsche in Birstall changed the engine oil and filter, renewed the brake fluid, and carried out a general inspection.
• A minor service and brake fluid change was also carried out in June 2019 at 109,917 miles, and during the major service in 2018 the car received new spark plugs.
• During the previous ownership, the engine was carbon cleaned and remapped, while the often problematic swirl flaps have been removed.
