Is this interior original? (S4)

[pilla]

Need to get back in the b5 game, interested in this..

But unsure if the interior is original, it has no carbon trim, i was under the impression all the S4's come with the carbon look trim.

Anybody know?

Not true

Sorry i couldnt get the link on here on my phone. Its on ebay and its a rare teal colour. But it doesnt matter now anyway because the seller wants the earth for it and i suspect is shill bidding the auction.

Not true

Can you elaborate?

Please elaborate Russell on why you think its not worth much, He wants £3500, i told him it isnt worth that at all, I did bid £2k but got immediately outbid... He then said hes taking a deposit as we speak, but i doubt that was true. I do like the colour though, quite rare on the S4,Thanks.

£800 for a S4??? You can’t be serious! £2k would be a bargain for it too! They’ve gone up in value quite a bit over the last year, Jasper green ones don’t come up often either!

On a side note, if you do buy it and want the carbon trim I’ve got a set for sale

I think hes shill building it up as its private bids, i wont be buying it. Plus i'd prefer an avant.

Good move. Maybe I was harsh considering it’s an S4. £1500?

If you know of any facelift S4’s going for £1500 then let me know, would be worth my time buying another one just to break it for that price

How rare is the colour though, If you google jasper green b5 s4, nothing comes up, except for that car on an old gumtree ad, and a couple of A4's and A6's.. Plus the interior looks so bog-standard, something about that S4 that does not feel proper.

It’s not the rarest of colours for them, since there is also a jasper avant on eBay that’s been on there for a year now since being snapped up for a measly £1750, but not as common as silver or nogaro

I have one of the rarer ones just now, kingfisher blue, but is now basically a shell due to breaking it to buy a house, kingfisher and Merlin purple have to be the rarest of the colours for them and the only 2 colours I’d consider if I buy another

As for the interior, a cloth interior isn’t unusual and I’ve seen plenty with cloth, some standard style seats and some recaros, recaros being a lot rarer due to being a costly option at build time, I’ve also seen a few without the carbon trim but the majority had them although the gear surround was an optional extra too so not so many have that

I have a bit of experience with the S4’s having had 2 now and I don’t see any issue with that car other than the rusty wings and being listed as a facelift where it’s a part facelift/midlift with the pfl rear bumper and analogue clock on the dials

I’d be amazed if it goes for a penny less than £3k! If you’re looking for a S4 for £2k then you’re around 12-18 months too late, prices have soared both for whole cars and parts

Aah yes the Jasper green avant. I have just seen it and di remember seeing it on there long ago, It was not visible to me because i put a price cap on my ebay searches to filter out the greedy people who want the earth for these cars, hopefully, i can buy one at a fair price.

Yes i see the prices have gone up a bit in the last year or so. You are correct. I dont think it will hit 3k though.
