Any S4 under 8k is a great deal. 4k for an S4 is a steal

The reversed Naca ducts bondo slathered onto over the rear bumper cover seams is a deal killer in my opinion ! What were they thinking ?

It looks to be in pretty darn good shape for 200,000 miles. Especially since it made the trip across country recently. I would go to $4,000.

Looks in fair shape for 210K - that treatment at the rear to fit the S4 fenders to the GTS bumper cover is not well done however. Even so, $8K for it would be a good price if the engine and electricals are in good shape - the GTS mirrors look sharp too....

Shane has one with a front end that burnt off all the way to the windshield. That one has I think 60k miles, so you can bid high on that one.

Quite relaxed thanks ... point made? Mileage has little to do with it. TBF happens at 10k miles also. Condition, and general value are the important factors. Never buy something that doesn't exceed your knowledge of value for money.

Hmmmm... some observastions:

1) Car is listed on ebay, does not sell (too high a opening bid for the mileage).
2) Re-listed, same result.
3) Re-listed, same result.
4) Re-listed, sold!
5) A few months later, after dumping money into the car, the new owner lists it on e-bay.

I'd be very afraid that the new owner got it home, invested all his fun money, then found a ticking time bomb that he didn't want to tackle - such as impending transmission doom, tbf, other tbf, etc.

I do love the Granite Green Metallic over grey leather, tho. Mmmmm...

Maybe the former owner will chime in?

Personally, I wouldn't even bid. But if it ran good (unknown) and was in halfway decent condition (which I think it is) I'd go $5k. Again assuming condition, the upgrades alone are worth $1k (wheels and mirrors).
