I have 139K on mine and bought it with 126K on the odometer. Car is still solid, but did have the suspension, clutch and brakes redone prior to purchase. Interior is nearly perfect and I still love this car!on a 3 year old car, having 100,000 miles on it sucks. On a B5, you can buy a whole donor car for $4-6,000 or raid a junkyard if you need a bunch of parts when **** starts failing. On a B7 RS4, that's just not plausible.
Different situation. Although I admit mileage isn't a big deal as far as the overall excellence or enjoyability of the car goes.
he has a B5 S4
although, my friend picked up a 100,000+ mile RS4. He said the intakes were almost closed over with carbon. He said he thought he had bought a lemon (imported it to Canada from Penn).
Now though...he has one of the fastest RS4s in the world.

Did you email me about trading the Avant? I am selling mine but with higher miles.

Purchase made
Thank you for all the feedback which helped me with my decision.
I just purchased a 2008 Ibis white with Silver interior from Southern California with less than 7K miles. The car is completely stock except for the Euro steering wheel. I thoroughly enjoyed the drive back home in Northern California.

Congrats
I bought mine used as well, with 6000 miles on it in 2008.
It still brings a smile to my face.
Two things:
1. Hold the ESP button down for 3 seconds to turn the traction control as far off as it will go. This will kill the boggin down you feel on hard launches. It will also help with the 1-2 shift lurch.
2. The gas pump pain will wear off in a few months. You wont even think about it.
