Based on Sparkhill's registry, it doesn't look like the owner posted here.<ul><li><a href="http://webpages.charter.net/parkhill/RS4/RS4_VIN_List.htm">http://webpages.charter.net/parkhill/RS4/RS4_VIN_List.htm</a></li></ul>

a bit off topic, but..
Fluffhead, its funny how you're the first one to reply, because your RS4 was the reason why I decided to take back my C63's order and get the more expensive rs4. My wallpaper is a picture of your car btw haha

anyways, does this car look clean to you based on the pictures? because i'm about to get it imported from the states over here to canada

Default The car looks fine from the pics, but...

The car actually looks like it needs a good cleaning...the pic of the speedo makes me think the car hasn't been washed in a while.

I'm not sure if the price is good for the mileage, options, etc, others on this board would know better then me.

alright fluffhead! thanks for your inputs!
one last question though, is there any major difference between a 07 and a 08? and is there anything to look out for when purchasing this car??

Default Just get all the service records so you can see what has been done on the car...

I can't think of anything specific to look for though.

To my knowledge there is no difference between the 07's and 08's other then available options.

Also, the first 200-300 ("release vehicles") US 07's had a larger roof antenna and no chrome on the interior buttons.

Sparkhill's registry page should break it all down for you though.
