^i was expecting a awful picture. Really doesn’t look bad. As long as there are no cracks or ripples in the bumper I’d just improve the pricing some and get it repainted.
Yea, it doesn’t look that bad but we’re talking about RS4 parts. I bet the bumper cover is probably about a grand alone, a couple hundred for the trim piece, and then all the paint work. Probably just shy of $3k and that’s assuming the bumper supports weren’t damaged either.
I’d rather not disclose that at this point. The deal is still ongoing.
Because of all the uncertainty, both the seller and I decided it would be best to have him fix the car through his insurance. He did offer me a significant chunk off of the original price to buy it as-is, but I just couldn’t do it without knowing exactly what had been damaged. So, the car is going in for repairs at a very reputable shop and he’s hoping to get some of the other paint issues fixed at the same time. Assuming it all goes well, I may still buy the car once the repairs are completed in a few weeks.
Unfortunately, this deal died early this week. After getting the car back from the body shop, the seller decided he needed to keep it to use as a business car…ughhh, the search continues. If anyone knows of an RS4 owners that are interested in selling, but not officially on the market yet, let me know!
you could easily trade that red and black interior out to a Chicago Bulls fan
truthfully lots of people love it. I don’t mind it on the boring colour cars like grey or avus. But if I bought a car with it, I’d probably orchestrate a swap. To me the red clashes aggressively with the purple.
p.s. can’t you guys import cars relatively easily from Canada? We can import from there
One popes up on autotrader yesterday. 120k miles for $21k, there’s a super clean looking avus silver in Arizona with 100k for 29k. There’s a bunch out there right now just hard to find a clean well maintained one.
It saddens me a little to think I could be buying this and basically pay it off instead of doing my S4 engine build and stage 2 supercharger set up, but I’m still pretty damn excited. The wheels do look a little odd but that’s a quick few hundred dollar fix. I’d get 'em powder coated and call it a day. Somebody does need to buy this car though.
The black one was in an accident iirc. The silver one they have has no record of service for the past 25k miles. That 100k miles avus in Arizona looks fucking clean though. Seat doesn’t even look like someone has sat in it.
