Wow, when you actually put it down in writing like that, it's pretty scary. I'm currently looking at a 15 month old S4 for ~£28k (in fact, I'm meant to be picking it up tomorrow or Monday) which is pretty bang on your figure when you take the extras into account - it doesn't exactly inspire confidence in my choice of car! Hopefully it'll level off a bit after the first couple of years, otherwise when I get rid of it 2 or 3 years down the line, I'm going to have to pay someone to take it away!
I toyed with the idea of changing to a TT 3.2 in Oct with delivery in about 6 mths.....the Audi dealership offered me £29k if I gave them the car at the end of Oct. I don't know by how much the dealers add to the car prior to selling( Porsche add a flat £5k minimum )but I would suggest that if you're paying £28k it almost sounds like a bargain.
Enjoy it and to hell with depreciation.

I had a 993 Carrera S 98 model until a Month ago and just recently bought a 55 plate S4 Cabrio - for all the reasons above, escalating running costs, the old feeling, depriciation. (Although I paid 29k for it a year ago and sold it for £31.5k) I love the S4 for its quality feel, and sufficient power - I must emphasise the 'sufficient'. The Porsche was a much faster car, and certainly a much more driver focused car - I miss the oldness... the fear when you drive it.. but I guess, Horses for courses !
