No secrets that we love Avants here but I’ll make an admission; I’d rather have an S2 Avant over an RS2 Avant (controversial, I know). Combine it with Ruby Red and there’s no competition. Here’s the ad:
Selling my RHD Audi S2 Avant. Only 1800 made worldwide – actually rarer than the RS2. With a 5-cylinder turbocharged engine, Quattro, and a 6-speed manual, this car is a riot to drive and sounds great too. Imported properly from the UK, clean GA title.
$31,500 OBO. Trades considered for interesting cars with significant cash on top. Only reason for sale is to divert funds to other projects.
General info:
– Rare Ruby Red paint
– 226k miles. These engines are known to last 500k +. The head was rebuilt at 218k.
– Thick binder with all service records since new.
– European OEM Recaros
– RS2 rear heckblende. Will include license plate tub to mount plate to hatch.
– rare 18″ Euro D2 S8 Avus wheels
– 3” downpipe and exhaust
– 280bhp chipped ECU
– H&R coilovers
– Kamei grille
Recent maintenance:
-steering rack, coilovers, alignment, PCV, strut mounts, tie rods, end links, timing belt/water pump, thermostat, much more.
This car is in great shape but has some quirks:
– AC was removed in the UK, new compressor comes w/car
– Turn signals don’t self-cancel
– surface corrosion on subframes
– sunroof liner wrinkled
– door panel leather starting to separate
– very minor bubbling in paint on left rear fender
– tach sometimes reads a little high
Feel free to reach out with questions. This is a great example of a rare and special car that is also surprisingly practical.
With the addition of the D2 S8 Avus wheels, this Avant is almost perfection in my opinion. I say almost because I’m a klutz when it comes to driving a RHD car. Granted, I’ve only ever driven a RHD manual transmission car once and it wasn’t pretty. Plus I’m lazy and like drive-thrus. This Avant is available for $31,500 and it’s already here in the States.
