Greetings from Derby, East Midlands

Post by CunniBlingus » Wed Sep 04, 2013 5:42 pm

I've been lurking on the forum for the past few months now and I thought I'd show my face! I currently drive a B7 A4 3.0 TDi S-line Avant and I've been eyeing up the B7/8 RS4, as I need more power! Now I'm only 27 and I can imagine the insurance on any RS model at my age is going to be steep, though you only live once right?! :D

A few questions, what are the running costs? i.e Tyres/services/parts/££ to fill a tank vs mileage? I think with the B7 being the previous model, the lower price bracket would probably suit me better in all honesty, as much as I would love to walk into Audi and drive off with a 63 plate RS4 I just haven't got that kind of money! I've read about suspension problems with the B7, can someone clarify this for me. I do around 450 miles to a tank every 3 weeks or so, though I'm currently changing jobs and will be a 10 minute bike ride away from work, so the RS would be a weekend toy!

Lastly, just out of curiosity what kind of professions do some of you guys do? I have just been reading some of the RS6 posts and wondering how some of you guys afford these machines! I mean it would be a lottery win for me to be able to stick a deposit down on a car like that! :lol: Do you guys go for the lease options then hand it back or stick down huge deposits/part exchange? Sorry to be noisy! :P
