IW-RS4

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/101660/agedrs4002.jpg"></center><p>I've been looking seriously now at the RS4 for about 4 months. With the current incentives plus A4 "pull ahead" cash, it seems like a great time to buy a new 08, right? But as I start to visit some dealers here in So Cal, I realize that most of the RS4's in inventory have just been sitting around baking in the sun and enduring the elements day in and day out for at least 9 months. Not to mention numerous test drives and movement around the lot (and in the case of this car, abuse from the gardeners blower).

So here's the question: Do you think it's better to buy one of these aged units from a dealer, or maybe a 1 or 2 year old RS4 with 10-12K miles that has been garaged and meticulously cared for by the previous owner? I'm not so sure anymore after what I'm seeing at the dealers...

I would not sweat it

I agree.

Just make sure of the in-service date so you don't get robbed on warranty

it still shouldn't have any scratches or wear.

Although my car sat on the lot for at least 3+ months (actually on the roof of the dealer), it still had all the plastic/cardboard protective shipping materials in place, and there are no scratches or scuff marks that I can see.

And never take delivery of a car at night, especially if you're worried about paint/dings.
