Bit of a pointless post considering everyone is saying if you go for saloon or Avant you need the solar roof which this car doesn't have.....
Good luck with the sale though!
Current car..... hmmmmm????

cheers guys for the comments!
allybongo, i seen yours on ebay the other night. in great condition and woth considering means i dont have to drive far!
I understand what you are saying raudiguy, with havin the top down in spain. I know you are only able to drive with the roof down from about 4.30pm till late hours of the morning! no way you can have it down in the afternoon!
with regard to the age im no where near the pipe and slippers yet! got a a long way to go! so this why im tore betweent he cab and the salon! the salon is swinging it fo rme just now but only issue is insurance! can anyone tell me why the insurance is more for the salon than the cab? for me its a gd bit of a difference? more desirable in salon style?

Probably because the insurance companies systems are failing to make a distinction between all the cars that suffer genuine accidents versus those that are wrecked in the process of evading the authorities after a robbery.
RS4's are prime get-away material for these parasites and we're paying the price as a result...
Cab drivers on the other hand, only come out from their de-humidified garages on Sundays for 10 mins when the sun shines.

As I said in my earlier post Saloons get nicked to use as getaway cars - hence the insurance on the Saloon is higher than either the cab or the Avant.

Does anyone else think the Cab looks too wee and dumpy ???
As much as I like open top motoring I wouldn't buy it in RS4 form.
I like the Avant but you pay the premium for it, if this is something you can afford then do it, if not I would choose the Saloon.

No I don't think so, I think you'll find you could've got more. Could have got £35k for a 7,000 miler if living down south, maybe.

Maybe not.. dealers are struggling to get that and that is with a trade-in and crazy finance deals.. My mate was offered 30% off a new shape Audi Avant 170ps with 200 miles on the clock... Who has £30k+ to gamble on a car right now?
