Audi RS4 (2006 – 2008) Review
Audi RS4 (2006 – 2008) At A Glance
The car Audi used to take on the BMW M3 and managed to combine excitement with a package that did not require as much skill to drive quickly.
Even so, on the launch at and around the Goodwood circuit, a certain well known and very popular journalist got pulled by the local traffic police.

M3 Vs S4 - which one should I buy?
An S4 4.2 V8 as opposed to an RS4 is a relatively much softer car than an E46 M3. Has the power, but isn't particularly stimulating to drive.

Is a used RS4 a good idea?
All the RS4 information you need is here: http://www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar/audi/rs4-2006/
I've heard of one getting to 80k miles, no trouble, but that seems to have been an exception.

Where can I sell my Audi RS4 and what can I get for it?
It was extraordinary that two emails about Audi RS4s should arrive on the same day. Another reader gave me a tale of woe arising from the high maintenance costs of brake discs that only last 6000 miles, tyres that last less, and vulnerable clutches and flywheels. What has happened is that this has made dealers very wary of the cars. There's no point in selling an RS4 at a £4000 profit when the customer could come back demanding £5000 of repairs, and because they are so rare they are not 'booked' by Glass's Guide.
I've found a 90,000 mile 2007 asking £17,990, a 67,000 mile 2006 asking £17,995, a 68,000 mile 2006 Avant asking £20,500, a 63,000 mile 2006 Avant asking £21,990, a 58,000 mile 2006 Avant asking £22,480, a 67,000 mile 2006 Avant asking £22,990, a 46,000 mile 2007 asking £23,980, a 43,000 mile 2007 asking £24,500, a 46,000 mile 2007 Avant asking £24,995, a 20,000 mile 2006 asking £25,000 and a 58,000 mile 2007 cabrio asking £25,000.
You could try advertising on Pistonheads (as these were) and Autotrader, but do not allow any driver who does not have trade insurance to test drive it. Safer to use eee.sure-sell.info , but they will probably advise a Top Car auction. Or try used Audi specialist Marc at mpmlimited.co.uk

Problem with RS4 bought from main dealer
Seek legal advice. The small claims track limit is £5,000 and if Leicester Audi fights you the case will have to go to full County Court and costs could escalate alarmingly. I think you can claim that the brake fault was with the car from purchase, but it was more than 6 months before the notchy gearchange developed and that is outside the generally accepted period for which a dealer is normally held liable.
