2008 Audi RS4 Cabriolet B7

Highlights

  • Very clean example of a B7 RS4 Cabriolet
  • Low mileage, less than 58,000 miles
  • Excellent service history

The Appeal

From the moment it released in 2006, the B7 RS4 was set for success. In 2005, it won Top Gear’s Most Surprising Car of the Year award while not two years later, it was named World Performance Car at the 2007 World Car of the Year awards. Today, its iconic look is still adored providing a less harsh design than most modern RS Audis. 

In cabriolet form just like this 2008 example, it offers a rare insight into the world of two-door performance Audi models. In fact, one could argue it is the best modern sporty Audi at preserving the Quattro’s original spirit. 

Having covered less than 58,000 miles since 2008 and with an excellent service history record, it’s clearly in excellent mechanical condition and the visual aspect follows through making it very difficult to spot much wrong with the car at all.

The safest way to buy a classic car online

Safe, secure payment process

About Max Bids

The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.

Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.

Anti-sniping

Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.

Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.

Auto-bidding increments

  • If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
  • If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
    • Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
    • We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.

Bid Amount Increment
£0 to £9,999 £100.00
£10,000 to £49,999 £250.00
£50,000 to £99,999 £500.00
£100,000 + £1,000.00

Automatically outbid immediately

When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.

You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.

Matching max bids

When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.

Pre-authorisation

We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.

What are pre-bids?

A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.

Problem with your bid

Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
