GarageScout Take
Avus Silver is uncommon among observed examples, while its mid-pack mileage and near-continuous service record make this a particularly well-documented B5 RS4.
Strengths
- First-generation B5 RS4 Avant, one of approximately 6,030 built worldwide and never officially sold in the United States.
- Service documentation reportedly spans virtually the car's entire history, from 0 km onward.
- Recent mechanical and electrical work included the A/C compressor, clutch slave cylinder, airbag module, serpentine belt, and fluid changes.
- The sale included an owner's manual, German data sheet, multiple keys, and a collection of spare assemblies and trim pieces.
Watch For
- The driver-side fender, doors, and quarter panel were previously repainted, with body filler reported on the driver's door.
- Exterior scratches, touch-up paint, wheel scratches, and wear on the seats and inner door panels are disclosed.
- The rear seat latch may be missing; the seller advised treating it as missing pending confirmation.
- As an imported vehicle, it may not pass emissions testing in some states.
