Tech pack (CD autochanger or iPod connection, satnav and adaptive lights is a must)- you have this, plus the dimming mirror, homelink, privacy glass (I guess it's an Avant?), GSM cradle and heated rear seats so pretty good spec, I'd say.

I'm assuming that, as the phone prep isn't in the centre arm rest, you have the flat-bottomed wheel? If you do, this is a good thing.

Only thing I would say is that most people prefer the carbon fibre inserts as opposed to the aluminium ones. What colour is the car?

I have cut all the rubbish out .. that is all std stuff.

So in summary looks like the car has a tech pack, Priv glass,Auto Dim with Rain sensors,heated seats, Blue tooth.

Just missing a sun roof, and or SS+ so an OK spec.

I agree about the carbon inserts - much more suitable to the spirit of the car than the aluminium or heaven forbid, black piano trim, but that's just my opinion of course.
Seats - are they the buckets or the bigger Recaros? Bit of a Marmite discussion point.
One last thing is the sunroof. I'd have thought most come with them don't they? I've got the solar powered one which isn't as gimmicky as it sounds, especially on a hot day. (Remember those?)

Many thanks for comments.
Car is phantom black and is an avant.
I agree that the carbon finish would be preferable, and is morein keeping with expectations of an rs4. Makes me wonder why the original buyer didn't opt for that.
Sorry to be ignorant, but "SS+"? Sport suspension?
That sounds important?

SS+ isn't important, IMHO. Standard suspension is just fine.

Re seats - some prefer the buckets, some prefer the non-buckets.
