Reluctantly FS: 2007 Audi RS4 -- Sprint Blue | Ebony | Titanium | 124k mi

[Matt Devo]

As a long time B6 owner, when I had the chance to jump on a Sprint Blue Ti RS4 a few years ago, I snatched it up as quickly as possible. Sadly the car was not as well-sorted as advertised, and I spent much of the last two and a half years rehabilitating this car with the intention of putting as many miles on it as I did on my B6 (just shy of a quarter-mil). No expense was spared, every worn trim piece, button, and switch replaced. Unfortunately, this car has never quite had the same magic for me as my now-departed B6 (RIP), and I've made the difficult decision to pass it on to someone else who will hopefully appreciate what the car is and the work that's been done restoring it to its proper glory.

This is a well-sorted, extremely clean-for-the-mileage RS4, lightly modified with OEM+ sensibilities. It has a clean carfax, and is located in Austin, TX (though not originally a TX car).

update 8/05/2020: car is *SOLD* to Mfiliault

The current asking price is $27.5k.

I've seen a lot of RS4s with similar mileage go for the low to mid 20's, and none look anywhere near as good inside or out. The car is paid off, and I am in no rush to sell.

With that out of the way, here's the important stuff:

Modifications

• OEM Titanium package components (front grille, window trim, trunk trim, mirrors) retrofitted by a previous owner (Ti pkg only available in 2008)
• Stasis/Ohlins Motorsports Coilovers with Swift 14kg/22kg springs and PSI rear weight jacks
• Milltek non-resonated, valved exhaust w/black tips (refinished)
• OEM downpipes w/pre-cats removed (aka piggies)
• Blacked out headlight trim, new lens covers, ZKW-R clear projector lenses, refreshed wiring, clear corners (109k)
• JHM short shifter, intake manifold spacers
• 034 density line motor mounts
• ECS rear diff carrier inserts
• Apikol rear diff mount (red)
• Fresh RS decals on front brake calipers
• RS7 rear caliper covers
• B6 armrest (no phone mount)
• Silver trimmed window/mirror switches (8P S3)
• Custom silver trimmed headlight switch
• AFE dry flow air filter (110k)
• Cupra R front lip
• Custom blue carbon kevlar belt trim (oCarbon)
• Rewrapped TT-RS steering wheel and e-brake handle in Nappa air leather with blue contrast stitching (Drozd Upholstery)
• Rewrapped shift knob and new shift boot in Nappa air leather (Drozd Upholstery)
• Custom 8” touchscreen head unit with Android Auto/Apple Carplay
  (though planning to remove this and reinstall the stock RNS-E head unit)

Wow, very nice build lots of expensive mods and service items. You mentioned the silver mirror and headlight switches (A3 parts) first I've seen that - by chance are the seat switches also silver trim? I've seen that one but not sure where there were sourced from. And thanks for the tip on Drozd Upholstery; I'm not a big fan of the factory perforated leather and was looking for options. Their work is gorgeous.

Thanks for the kind words! The window switches are 8P S3 (euro) parts; the mirror switch is shared across a lot of models. The headlight switch is something I custom built to match the others (and built/sold many to other RS4 owners and here on AZ). I've seen the seat switches done as well, but they seem difficult to acquire and one person I talked to with them said it wasn't worth the hassle.

Drozd isn't cheap, but their work is exceptional. Alex sourced thread from a few different suppliers to find the best match for Sprint blue since he felt what he had on hand wasn't good enough. The quality on the leather is outstanding and looks brand new still.

GLWS! Would love more info on that head unit for my B7. Happy to take off line. Thanks.

This is so clean. Very fairly priced, however a couple $k out of my price range. If this somehow does not get scooped up, I'll be in touch in a couple weeks.

[A4orce84]

I can vouch for Matt and his meticulous attitude + care with this car! The next owner will be very lucky to scoop this car up.

[Matt Devo]

PPI completed and added to picture album. Title in hand and ready to go.

The gods were not satisfied though, and the AC compressor took a crap on the drive home. Will be replacing this week.

Beautiful RS4 in the BEST color. Love the deviated blue stitching.

As other have noted, stick to your price. It's more than fair.

Best of luck with the sale.
