The Audi RS4 Avant B9 is the ultimate performance wagon, combining a 450 PS twin-turbo V6, Quattro all-wheel drive, and everyday practicality. With supercar-rivaling pace and a usable boot, it outguns rivals like the BMW M3 Touring (G81) and Mercedes-AMG C63 Estate.

2. Key Factors Affecting Value
✅ Provenance Matters
One-owner RS4s with Audi Sport history: +10% premium.
Ex-Audi Executive Cars? Check for extended warranty.
✅ Options Add Value
Dynamic Ride Control (DRC): +€3,000–5,000.
Ceramic Brakes: +€7,000–10,000 (but check wear!).
RS Design Pack (Red Stitching/Carbon): +€2,500.
✅ Mileage Sensitivity
Every 10,000 km reduces value by €3k–4k.
Over 100,000 km? Demand turbo & transmission inspection.
⚠️ Critical Watch-Outs
Oil leaks from timing covers (early B9 models).
Fake "Competition" badges (verify VIN with Audi Sport).
Crash-damaged rebuilds (especially from Eastern Europe).
3. Where to Buy in the EU?
Official Channels
Audi Sport Certified Pre-Owned (Best stock in Germany).
Specialist Dealers: Königliche Klasse (DE), RS Owners Club UK.
Private Sales & Auctions
Mobile.de, Autoscout24 (filter for "Audi Warranty").
Enthusiast Hubs: RS246.com, German eBay Kleinanzeigen.
Pro Tip: Swiss imports often have high specs but need TÜV/EU compliance checks.
4. Market Trends
📈 Appreciation/Depreciation
2020+ models stable (last pure ICE RS4).
Pre-facelift (2017–2019) dropping ~5% yearly (new RS4 coming?).
⚠️ Trap Warning
"Garage queen" RS4s with dead batteries/fluid leaks.
5. Must-Do Checks
🔧 Mechanical:
Test turbos for lag/whine (€6k+ per turbo).
Check DRC suspension (leaks = €4k repair).
Scan for "hidden" ECU tunes (voids warranty).
📄 Paperwork:
Audi "Birth Certificate" (confirm factory spec).
No "TD1 flag" (tuning detection by Audi).
Fun Fact: The RS4 Avant’s 2.9 TFSI engine is shared with the Porsche Panamera 4S, but Audi’s tune is more aggressive!
