Default New RS4 owner saying hi

Hi everyone, I have been lurking around the RS4 model forums for the last few weeks while on my search for my own RS4. I appreciate all the good information listed here and do plan to contribute as I get more educated about the car. In the past I have owned many high performance German cars and am really excited to pick up an RS4. I did have a B5 S4 that I really enjoyed and have missed since I sold it in January of 2011. I joined when I had my S4 but haven't been on here for a long time.

My RS4 is Sprint Blue with black leather and aluminum trim. Currently the car is 100% stock and comes as a 1 owner car.
I am in Tampa, FL and the car will be delivered to me from a NY dealer this Monday, 11/4. Once I have it and can take my own pictures of the car I will be sure to post them up.
Are there any members locally here in Tampa or perhaps nearby? I will be attending FIXX Fest with a group of friends so if anyone is going please let me know so we can meet up. I would really like to meet some RS4 owners.

Welcome looking forward to your pictures. I wonder if the previous owner was on the forums?

Thanks Reggie. I wondered that myself. I bought my BMW M5 back in 2010 and realized it was a previous member's car from the M5Board. I was able to find out all sorts of things about the car. It was actually listed on a few websites too due to the mods it had.
As my RS4 is stock it may be harder to figure out who the prior owner was.

Yeah - I know a couple of RS4 owners who don't go on the forums

I'm not local to the Tampa region, but I'm in the Ft. Lauderdale area. Moved from VT. Bought my car in New England in 2011. If you're ever down this way and need some VLDS/VAG-COM help, let me know.

Cheers.

Welcome to the forum. AW is pretty quiet but there are some good folks on the here.

Take your VIN and try searching Google to see if anything is found. Also, some dealerships will put you in contact with the previous owner if they know them.

Best of luck.

Hi guys, sorry for the delay. The last few days have been a blur. I picked up the car on Monday from the truck driver, drove it back from Orlando to Tampa where I handed it over to Motorsports by Reeves who put the APR 93 tune on. I am very happy with the car! I placed an order last night through ECS Tuning for the Ziza Interior LED kit and license plate LEDs, Ziza super white fog light blubs, and 10MM spacers for all 4 corners.

I am looking forward to installing these parts as soon as they come in.

Thanks again for the warm welcome. Here are a few shots taken while the tune was put on the car. I will take better shots soon.

sandros1, I do plan to head down to South FL in the near future and hope there will be something car related going on down there when I do.

Most excellent! Congrats. Find your VIN in the link below, then see if it has a forum username attached to it.
