Boot space is pretty good, quattro 4 wheel drive. Mine had Sat nav, bluetooth, cruise and heated seats which are all retrofittable.

Split grill B6 looks a bit more dated than the big grill B7, but from inside the cabin you can't see that anyway.

They suffer from a handful of issues. Engine timing chain failure is the big one. Rust and roof issues are common across all the A4 Cabriolets, and the wings are Cab specific, and not available as pattern parts, so not cheap to replace.

But a lot of S4 cabs for sale will be suffering all or some of these issues. At least Pauls advert is honest.

I imagine the RS4 Cab he's just got is quite something.....

For contrast, the S5 cab isn't half as special. Sure its more modern, more toys, but the V8 makes this cab come alive. The 3.0Tfsi has some great cracks and pops with the DSG box, but its got no soul. Very clinical in contrast....

I'm going to shut up now, I seen to have diluted another car for sale thread....
You're really not helping! I have a holiday to pay for!

I posted up here a while ago about getting a cabby, I do have a thing for all the B6 & B7 models and I've always resisted driving a S4 cabby because I know I'd love it and reach for the credit card!

Plus I've caught red leather disease from my D2!
