Selling my 02 RS4 :(
Posted: Tue Mar 23, 2010 5:25 am
Been contemplating selling the RS4 as i'm needing to invest more money into expanding the business... i didn't really want it to come to this and i'm still unsure about the whole thing, but with the way the banks are robbing everyone right now.. especially those in small businesses, it seems like a choice i might have to make.
Another good reason is that the b5 is really just kept as a toy and has hardly been used to justify keeping it right now... i bought it in late nov 2006 for almost £36k from a TVR dealership... drove it literally 1000miles only since then.. it just stays in a warm garage, polished up most of the time and taken for a weekend run on a sunny day evry so often.
Its Nogaro Blue, 2002 02 plate with almost 34,000 miles on the clock, SKN remap 430bhp, milltek catback, 19x9.5 mtm bimotos and full Movit brakes all round.. the car is mint as you can imagine.
Also has an RS4 private plate on it.
I'm not letting it go for silly money as i could probably manage to keep it through this climb out of the recession... but i'd rather make it easier for myself and buy something to play with again later on in the year possibly.
I was offered £27,000 from a trader that purchased my Cayenne Turbo from me during the summer last year, although he now works for a different company altogether from before, so that option has gone.. but i'm not letting it go for something daft like £20k.
This is one of the last registered 4's with such low mileage... and the car is rare as rocking horse sh't anyway!
My main plan was to spend lots of dough on it over time.. tuning it further and turning it into a monster... but the way the current climate is, it won't be happening right now.
I was thinking of contacting Nick Johnston since his speciality is b5's and csl's... either that or spread the word round on here to see if i can be persuaded to sell it... maybe even privately.
As a last resort i might chop it in for a used b7 so i can actually use it everday without fear of upping the mileage etc... the b5 for me atleast is so much more of an occasion, more desirable and something you feel has already attained legendary status, especially from its tuning aspect and overall road presence.
Something like a b7 would feel a little more normal for me... i'd feel more comfortable using it everyday... i had a friends for a week early last year and it was a great all rounder.
No decision has been made yet in anyway.. but lads, what do you all think?
Cheers
