There are a few things about Audi that I really love: the Avant and Nogaro Blue are just a couple. Combine them in one vehicle, add a manual transmission and the 4.2 V8 and voila…Heaven. That is what you see here: a 2004 Nogaro Blue S4 Avant with a 6 speed manual transmission. Here’s the ad:

Included in the ad are three videos. It only has 58,516 miles and photos included in the original ad shows the flaws. It’s on a site called cars&bids which is a new one for me so I’ll have to keep an eye on it if Heaven shows up on a regular basis. The bid is up to $15,000 and there are 4 days left as of this posting. Like I said earlier, this Audi hits all the sweet spots. I hope it goes to a great home. You can find the S4 Avant and many more photos posted HERE.
