Its hard to find sub 70km cars because they were frequently driven as dailies.
Pfaff had had one but it required minor paint work to the front fender and I want a 100% clean one.

Have you considered a tuned S4? I know that it's not the same animal, but great bang for the buck. 3.5 to 3.7 second 0-60 times are easily achieved with a tune and pulley upgrade. Some have these cars running 2.9 to 3.0 second 0-60 times with additional hardware upgrades (intake, exhaust, intercooler, dual pulley).
I considered an RS4, but it just wasn't worth the extra cash, so settled on a 2016 manual S4 as a DD.

Not on this continent. Fingers crossed that Audi brings the B9 RS4 Avant here, but that’s unlikely to happen.

Not a chance we’ll likely see anything but an A4 avant here. I had an S4 Avant which was a great car and the RS4 more special. The RS4 was the best “winter beater” I’ve owned in approx 40 years of car ownership ! Haven’t seen one on the road in quite a while. Good luck to the OP in finding one.

I really wanted one of these as my daily. They seem to fall into two camps; well cared for or absolute disaster. The ones in the 30k range seemed to be in good shape. The ones in the 20's... less so. I think there's still one on sale from when I was looking, which was a roll over car from the states. Horrific.

RS4s pop up once and awhile, but mileage is in the 140-160k range. We had a black optics package one last year
