yep, another good option - although Kam has put me off it due to the poor residuals that AMG seem to have
Not sure how he could claim to know the C63 residuals for a car that has yet to be even launched....
And if you don't run full term on the ownership/finance it's not a problem anyway.

Gareth,
I wasn't refering the C63 specifically and wasn't claiming to know anything for definite

- it was just my thoughts - I may be wrong, but from what I have watched with respect to AMG's they dont seem to be 'special' in terms of short term residuals. The C63 of course may be quite different due to its class
Just my thoughts anyway

I would agree on "Past" AMG, I held off as the RV and electrical reliability have been suspect. The New C63 however does need a look, there is a lot of bang for buck there.

business partner owns a E55 and we both feel AMG's are long term buys - especially the 'bruisers' - say SL55, E63, S63 etc - you pay over the market value for them, however you can keep them for 5 years and they still command respect on the road as they are sooo damn quick to begin with.
Anyway, back to RS5 - anyone got access to a time machine

Look on the bright side, in a few years time the current RS4 will be a collectors item

Am considering RS5 but a bit worried re rear seat space
Have a 5 yr old son plus aspirations of increasing the family at some point
Sold my 3 series coupe for a 5 series (before buying my current RS4 saloon) purely on rear seat space and convenience of a 4 door.
I've heard the back of the A5 is a bit tight,not sat in /seen one yet.
Anyone else a 'family man' considering an RS5

Only when my daughter leaves us, can't get tall people comfortable in the rear seats.

No, just on the RS6 & RS5
