Sell or Spend the money???
Posted: Tue May 19, 2015 11:02 am
Hi All,
Looking for some opinions, never a shortage of them on here ha ha.
Basically owned my RS4 loon for 18 months now, 56 plate with 43K and replaced the following outside of normal servicing costs,
Oil cooler and pipes were replaced just before I bought the car.
Both Aux radiators replaced July last year, £1000
New air-con compressor, re-gas etc a couple of weeks ago. £1600
Couple of other small jobs, cam sensor, headlight washer pump.
I am now going to need to do the following in the near future,
Clutch/ Clutch pipe etc, it is still perfectably driveable, but at slow speed when car is hot it is noticeable difficult to select 1st and 2nd.
DRC has a weep from two shocks, Specialist I have been having it serviced at has mentioned that it is ok at the moment after he recharged it last year, but will need replaced, so realistically as it has only had one replaced 4 years ago, they are all going to need done, potentially pipes etc also.
New front discs and pads are going to be required in the next 5k I would say, lip on the disc and slight Judder under heavy braking, my dad and brother have driven the car and have not noticed it, but I can feel it.
Question I am asking is, sell it as is, and take a hit or looking at all the common faults should I get a couple of years of trouble free motoring out of it now????
And if so, will it help resale value spending the money, I know I wont get it back, but aside from selling it on here, I dont think Joe bloggs would pay any more cash.
Thanks,
