Full Photoshoot: my 2008 Audi RS4. Grey on Red Leather with modifications.

[BklynSQ5]

Hey gang, my brother in-law was nice enough to snap some great pictures of my 2008 Audi RS4. I was lucky enough to pick this up during the summer but we finally got around to doing this photoshoot. I was actually heading to a used car dealership to pick up an E93 M3 Convertible when I saw this just sitting there right next to it. It is grey with the Audi Exclusive red leather and carbon fiber trim. I haven't done many modifications to it at all with the exception of a flat bottom alcantara steering wheel. It has Avantegarde wheels, Milltek exhaust and Billstein springs. The car is in excellent condition and really such a blast to drive. It sounds and rides amazing. Here are some pictures:

Thank you very much! The steering wheel was a must and it actually wasn't expensive at all! I think it ties the interior together nicely.

Gorgeous pics!

Thank you!

Always loved that interior. I just couldn't find one when I got around to buying. Fantastic pics. Have fun with her!

Talk about luck lol.. i think you ended up with a much nicer car than you intended. Congrats on the find!

Wow. Absolutely stunning. Daytona grey is a fantastic color (my RS4 is black but the grey is much better) and the wheels are super sharp. The slight lowered stance with the Billsteins looks perfectly aggressive too - not too low. Where did you get the steering wheel? I might be in the market for one myself.

Thank you very much! Once I saw that interior I fell in love!

Yes I do think I was super lucky. While I've always loved the RS4 and secretly wanted one, I had no intention of getting one that day. In fact this one wasnt even for sale. It was the owner of the dealership's car actually!

Thank you for the kind words! I actually got it from ebay from this company. I was scared at first but everything worked out perfectly. I couldn't be happier!

Great pickup and nice color combo!

Please for God clean the inside of that windshield. Holy crap Photo #2. What was used... paper towel and windex?

Looks very clean; great shots!

did you get this within the last year? do you have a VIN? look under see if it also has H&R swaybars. JHM downpipes.

Hi yes I did! I think I may have bought your car! I just shot you a PM!!

Looks great man, those interior shots really make me miss mine . Can't believe you're already selling it though, didn't you just pick it up?!

Hey so sadly I have listed the car for sale. My wife isn’t terribly pleased that I also just picked up an X3M last month so the RS4 is just sitting in the garage. I told her I would list the car to see if there was any interest in it. If there isn’t that’s great also. For the married guys out there I’m sure you understand. Haha.

Can you expand why your asking 10k over market for a car with similar mileage? I'm not suggesting it's not worth 29K just looking to fully understand the reasoning.

10k over? This is an rs4, not an S4.

I'd say "...my wife isnt terribly pleased..." and "...I told her I would list the car to see if there was any interest in it..." should be explanation enough ;)
Also... this is definitely market rate for a well maintained RS4.

How are you liking the X3M?

Going to test drive one today.

I purchased a stock 2008 RS4 with 90,000 miles for 19,000 last year. Perhaps I am just really good at buying cars, which I actually am :). I like your car and probably wouldn't grumble too much about paying high 20's for it. I am thinking about a second RS4 :)

Branded title for lemon law buyback due to DRC. The odd part is the DRC is working without any signs of a leak. I've come across a lot of these DRC buybacks.

I'm probably going to put 15-20K in the car this winter with a complete engine rebuild, all new suspension i.e. get rid of the DRC, and lot's of extras. Also thinking of a repaint and change color too..... Engine already out, gearbox separated, and a little more dismantling to do before shipping off long block to rebuilder.

Wow yeah sounds like you really are awesome at buying cars!

Nothing wrong with the car when I purchased it. I wanted a winter project so I don't get cabin fever and decided it was a good time for a restoration. I've spent more on a Ferrari tune-up then this project will cost :)
