Description
Over 230,000 miles and it has never missed a beat in my ownership. That's no accident, I've spent more than 10,000 GBP keeping it right, plus a lot of personal time developing parts for it. The bodywork is tired, the mechanicals are not, so if you want a B5 S4 Avant to drive rather than polish, this is a lot of car.

CONDITION
I'm moving it on for cosmetic reasons, so I'd rather list them plainly than have you find them on the driveway:
- Lacquer peeling in several places. It may have been resprayed at some point, or simply spent years in the sun either way, red hasn't been kind to it.
- Rust starting on the front passenger door and a few specks in the arches. Nothing structural.
- Small dent on the rear left quarter above the arch, only visible if you catch the light right.
- Two areas where the rear bumper has been pushed in, with stress marks in the paint.
- Wheels were refurbished by the previous owner. I dropped one on its face, so there are chips on the rear right.
All of the above is in the photos. Judge for yourself.
VIDEOS
My garage filmed a walkaround and damage report, the car starting, and proof of service. I can't include links in the listing, so message me and I'll send them.
WHY IT'S WORTH A LOOK
Double wishbone suspension front and rear was genuinely advanced for the time and set the standard others followed. It still drives superbly.
