Find of the Day: 2001.5 Cactus Green Audi S4
words: Bill, photos: Haiden Goggin
When I think of B5 S4 colors, Nogaro Blue immediately comes to mind then followed by Imola Yellow and Brilliant Black but then, obviously, there are many colors they came in…including Cactus Green. Purportedly 1 of 54, it’s rare enough and I have never seen a Cactus Green S4. This is a clean example of one. Here’s the ad:

Original paint, except for the passenger rear quarter panel was repainted by the OG owner. I was told it was due to a bicyclist running into the vehicle and they fixed some scratches from this. Small imperfections on the body otherwise. Small ding on driver rear quarter. Light scrapes on front / rear bumpers from its original life in the city. Wheels have light rash as well.
Price is reflective of its California rust-free status, rarity and mostly stock condition. This car has never been tuned or tracked, and has always been garage kept in CA. Any after market parts used were either due to stock parts being unavailable or for better quality / handling, etc.
No trades. Cash or certified check only.

What a great example of the B5 S4 and a lovely color to boot. Seems like it’s lived its whole life in the San Francisco Bay area so no rust. The mileage on that 2.7 may scare off some people but it looks like the owner (and previous owners) took real good care of it. The price? $14,500…not bad at all. If you would like a 1 of 54 Cactus Green, you can find it on our Audi Club North America Classifieds Facebook page HERE.
