    2005 Nogaro S4 4.2 Newbi Owner (England)

    Had the first one, a 2012 model for 18 months and had no intention of selling it, then one day I was browsing online and saw this late 2013 in Diamond White with just 9k miles from new being advertised by Birmingham Mercedes and just had to go and take a look at it, two days later I had the keys...

    2005 Nogaro S4 4.2 Newbi Owner (England)

    I sold this car quite a few years back, would love to catch up with the current owner if anyone know's who has her now. Currently driving a C63 AMG and loving being back in a V8 powered machine.

    Looks a really straight and well cared for car, I wouldn't have said that was strong money, compared to what is being asked by the trade for a similar mileage car. I'd say it was about spot on, but it's still one hell of a lot of car for that money, but aren't they all (S4's).

    Car Hit Twice In One Day.

    I'm guessing you've checked Ebay......... there's quite a few A4 B6's being broken at the moment, I just picked up a few bits that will just be stowed away..... Just in case bits... LOL. A real pain for you, as your car looked spot on.

    Good Old Audi

    There isn't many who are as enthusiastic about their car and search for perfection as I have done, I'm just stating facts that are widely available for everyone to read where owners have had issues that Audi haven't been very forthcoming is resolving.
