I had one for several years and sold it with about 143K miles on the clock. It was a bit more mint than the example you drove, but close in condition. I sold it about 3 years ago. Here are the issues I had with the car during the 6 years I owned it: -Replaced both high pressure fuel pumps ($500 each, parts only) -Replaced fuel pressure sensor (under intake manifold) -Replaced intake manifold ($2,000+ parts only) -Replaced the DRC with a KW V3 coilover system. Blew the DRC once and fluid was all over the place. Replaced one strut and refilled DRC and it was $1,800 -Rotors we’re lipped, so I ditched the brakes and got a StopTech trophy rotors and calipers. The OEM non carbon ceramic brakes had 4 pistons in front. I think the calipers were off a Gallardo. But the StopTech system was amazing. -After I sold it, the guy who bought it said the rear main seal started leaking (😱 Engine out service that could run you as much as $10K). -Luckily, the timing chain and guides were solid on the B7 RS4 unlike the B6 S4 which would start to rattle at high mileage due to the guides wearing down. That was also an engine out service. -Every 20K-40K you’ll get a MIL and will have to do a carbon clean. The dealer will run you about $2K to do it and a good Indy shop would do it for about $1,200. After you do the clean, the car will feel much faster again 😁. If you want to avoid carbon cleaning, you gotta drive it like you stole it all the time. I will say that I absolutely LOVED by 2008 RS4. It was amazing as you said it is. The engine sound alone was amazing if you revved it up to 8K rpms. I loved the clutch feel and the shifter was pretty good. Quattro was amazing and you could really be aggressive with the car in all kinds of weather without being too scared. Of all the cars I’ve owned, the RS4 is the one I have missed the most. I moved on to a new F80 M3 that’s also a 6 speed and it’s been great too. I still miss that V8 and the Quattro the most. I enjoyed the video, thanks!! Just thought I’d share my thoughts from my own experiences.

To own these cars, you need to be a DYI... Most of the items you listed can DYI. I bought the B6 S4 for $3k and swap the engine few times and did the chains, RS4 guides and all the seals and stuff. The job is not too bad at all as I can now take the engine and transmission out in like 4 hours. I still want a RS4. I will keep the RS4 for like ever...

420 hp out of 4.2 liter is still amazing by today's standards, very few NA V8's make that 100 hp per liter efficiency. The only thing that gets old is the technology features inside, looks and motor are a timeless work of art in the RS4.

Best Audi sedan ever. Had one new, 2007 in Avus Silver. Got an e90 M3 after and preferred the RS4...Biggest things to worry about are the cost of brake components, carbon build up and DRC failures. Audi had a recall on DRC due to leaks. DRC when working is a fantastic suspension. The wheels bend easily, but they look incredible. I’d love to find a low mileage stock RS4 at some point...

Been looking at getting one of these and found your video very informative and thorough. One thing I would have liked to have seen more about was the costs of repairs. I think anyone looking to buy one of these is going to get a list of things wrong with it and that will help determine value. And obviously people looking to buy one will get their own estimates and repair cost averages. But it would have been great if you had gone through examples of the cost to repair common issues and items such as the brakes, the carbon fiber covers that were bad on this particular model as well as fixing or replacing certain aspects of the suspension. Overall a great review though. No fussing with movie like shots or music, just a great straight up review. Got a sub out of me for sure. Thanks again for uploading.

Just bought one (63K miles, red 2008) - and I can’t wait for it to arrive. I’ve owned a ton of Audis (S5, SQ5, Q7, A-4, Allroad, S-wagons) but this thing just looks amazing. Thanks for the great review. Look forward to getting 80K new miles on mine!).

I couldn't afford to buy one new, and I cant afford to maintain one used. Being poor sucks. Still a beautiful car.

I have the B7 S7 and this made me wanna go for a drive!

Your video was one of the few that helped me decide to buy a higher mileage Avus Silver Pearl one. It’s an amazing machine, and value will hold or increase with all this electric nonsense. Nothing like the sound of that naturally aspirated v8. Thanks for the honest and great video!! Really appreciate your work!

I have about the same amount of miles on my 2007 Subaru Legacy GT Spec B, and its awesome. Something about this era where manufacturers were making some unique sedans, they are all so cool! What are the odds the first clip of you driving is right across the street from where the Blackhawk Cars and Coffee used to be, miss seeing all the awesome local cars. Great review!

Even before the video my answer is YES. I hope ill be able buy one next year.

The cons mentioned are stuff enthusiasts will overlook for this amazing machine. I will have one. Just something about AWD manual transmission performance sedans I love! 😆 Would look nice alongside the 22 WRX I just picked up 😁

I love my nismo gtr but I’ve always wanted one of these!

Brilliant car , the engine is a very light alloy V8 probably the best Audi have made and is more than capable of doing well over 200+ miles , brake callipers and discs are Brembo unless it’s still got Audis Original ones on it ,

This would be my pick for a secondary vehicle instead of buying a brand new one. The power produced by the engine and manual transmission is most important to me.

As a European, it was quite amusing to watch you test this car in particular on almost perfectly straight roads.

This is like Doug DeMuro but less quirky, nice!

I had Rs4 with 60k miles when I sold it. in 2019 - I wanna get another one - Best sounding car i've ever owned ! I live in Chicago the weather sucks sometimes so AWD is a must here! We have SQ5 Audi and I own nissan GTR and i'd like to add rs4 to my fleet ! RS4 always need something to be fixed :) but again - it's old ! its not fast ! just makes a nice cruiser !

As a licensed wholesale buyer, I typically don't share what dealers pay for cars since it really isn't relevant to most people. At the time I had this car, I believe KBB auction value was around $15K, which was pretty close to what I paid.

RS4 gang 🙏🏽💪🏾😈 love my RS4!!

The Daytona Grey is a good colour. Looks riveting with lots of subplot in each crease and curve of the body panels.

Man I want one now!!!

These are almost non-existent where I live. So I ended up with the 2007 S4. Love it regardless.

Please let us know what this brought at the auction. We would all like to know what your friend paid for it. Thank you. Nice review

You can't just say 1650kg its near 2 tons... or 350kg are nothing for you!?!? :D :D But still Great video! I like it a lot ;)

I wanted the S4 in 2006 which would have been a 2007 model but even those were hard to get.

Love these car especially with the optional seat which has carbon fibre back.

I have always heard this and have been waiting for mine to need one, but fortunately it has never needed one in 100,000 miles. It is never used in traffic and I tend to use the rpm when I am driving it alone as it is a fun car to drive quickly. It was checked with boroscope about 15k ago. I always use good fuels in it but with direct injection this will have no impact on the inlet valves. The only issues I have had in 100k are suspension, a starter motor and a few sensors causing the engine check light to come on erroneously. I have now replaced the DRC system with a fully adjustable Bilstein coil over setup. The expensive issues have been the brakes mine has the optional carbon ceramic brakes and the parts are eye wateringly expensive and if you drive it hard it eats brakes and tyres a set of P zeros is needed every 10k that is swopping front to rear at 5k. You will also be on first name terms with your local fuel station. Given all of that I still have it years after it should have been changed as what is there to replace it with who does a manual transmission 420PS AWD estate car.
