You'd be much better off buying the other RS6 for $40k
It appears MUCH tidier, and has had recent big ticket work done.

I see the RS6 has Andrew Simms European plate surround on the front of the car, Clive do you know anything about it?

The guy selling the high Km B5 S4 Avant is currently the highest bidder on the RS6 at $32,000. Madness.

There was a private sale RS6 Avant just recently (I thought it would still be there, must've sold) for $40k, unless the start price was 40?.
It had just had the belts, brakes and service done.

Judging by the Q&A, looks like best brands as the leading bidder is also trying to keep the price down.

I reckon he is paying too much allready !

GlenT

That "bigbrands" guy is a twit.
He's asking some silly questions, then trying to tell the seller how he should be selling the car. Like saying that the cost of repairing the shocks should be disclosed etc, they've already listed the shocks as a bit suss.
It's up to the buyer to do their own homework FFS!
If he doesn't like it, then he should phuck off.

yeah - looks like he's just trying to scare off other people.  I guess if it works for him he'll be happy.  a bit nasty though

all is fair in love and cars

Well people are asking some relevant questions.  :D

Audi have been stipulating 100,000k or five year intervals for changing the cam belts and water pump for some time now rather than the old 120k. So that means there is only 4,000k left provided they were done less than five years ago. Can you tell us the date these were done, as it may be due now. Thankyou.  trev10 (22 )  5:42 pm, Thu 17 Dec
Answer: That is incorrect please check with Audi on a 1999 2.7L S4 v6 Biturbo the cambelt should be changed every 120,000kms along with the water pump. This is all in the service book, and what Audi states when it should be done, but by all means check with Audi. 7:48 pm, Thu 17 Dec

Question: hi , just and FYI, I'm also an Audi owner and these types of cars need their cambelt replaced every 60K not 120K... weta.worker (79 )  7:42 pm, Thu 17 Dec
Answer: Incorrect for a 1999 S4, please check with Audi and you will find it is every 120,000km. My car has been serviced since birth by Audi are you saying they don't know when the cambelt and water pump should be changed? 7:51 pm, Thu 17 Dec

Question: http://www.ecstuning.com/Audi-B5_S4--2.7T/Engine/Timing/ (60k miles) weta.worker (79 )  7:47 pm, Thu 17 Dec
Answer: Please ring Audi service (ECS is not Audi) and ask the question how many kms should a 1999 S4 have its cambelt changed at, you will find its 120,000km 7:55 pm, Thu 17 Dec

Question: Strange. That's exactly what one of my work colleagues did before buying his B5 S4 recently and they told him exactly what I posted. I've got a RS4 and I've been told the same info as well. Someone has it wrong. Oh well - yours is still going I guess! weta.worker (79 )  8:03 pm, Thu 17 Dec
Answer: Please no more questions on the cambelt I have answered them above, please if you have doubts about what I am saying ring AUDI. I will not answer more questions about when the cambelt should be changed, its all above.  8:06 pm, Thu 17 Dec
