Found this badging interesting...

So Champion Springs Audi in Coral Springs, Florida has this used 07' S4 for sale with a rather unique badging.

You would think the dealership would remove such badging from a car before deciding to sell it.

At least that's my opinion.

The car is listed as 'Priced to Sell Fast' at a "bargain" of only $42,900. Not to mention it has 33,774 miles on it.

*A Brand new Audi S4 MSRPs for $48,610.



S420?

If it was the RS4, it'd make at least a bit of sense, what with the 420bhp and all. This...this is just stupid.

I believe the dealer made an attempt to say it is a 25th Edition S4 but failed at the number choice.

But anyway, that looks like an S4.

It definitely looks like an S4 and most likely the owner was trying to represent the 4.2L V8 of the S4 (same engine displacement as the RS4, but obviously less power). It looks like they used additional badging from a regular A4, which has a 2.0T badge.

Unfortunately, their modified numbering system turned their S4 into an older model Mercedes sedan.

Who are we fooling guys. 420 is the number representative of pot smokers everywhere. 4/20 is the biggest stoner day of the year. This dude definitely blazed.

And the dealership condoned the badging.

"Does that say 420?"

"Yeah, it does. Let's leave it thay way. I like it."

I know this car.. it is an A4 with a body kit and exhaust. Look at the rims. Not to mention you would have to drive nonstop for a year to put on 33k miles. Car has only been available for purchase for 10-12 months. It is an A4. Champion is a shady company to begin with. I can't even believe they are trying to pawn this car off as an S4.

Those are OEM B7 S4 wheels.

The B7 S4 also comes with the optional "DTM kit" rear bumper and front bumper.

All OEM parts.

The exhaust on the S4 is a quad.

Everything about this car says true S4 other than the "20" placed behind the S4 badge.

I think the stealership selling the car has been blazing too many sacks.


They're selling a nearly 2-yr old used car with 33,774 miles on it for $5,700 less than a BRAND NEW ONE!!

What kind of customer do they expect to buy this car?

'Dumbass woman on disability'?

420 in the world of drugs stands for pot (marijuana).....creative but the badging looks silly!
