There were 3 B7s out of 250 cars today at an Audi Finance sale, all going through late, I was around for lot 180, a red b7 RS4 saloon with buckets, nav in misano red
E*06 *** reg.
35k miles.
Looked very tidy, some minor wheel marks but otherwise mint.
No service book or any history available, no logbook either so presumably a reposession.
It made £27000 + buyers fee of prob around £400 for a private buyer which is around £2k over guide for car with all its documents.
Considering there are similar cars for under £30k through dealers that seemed ridiculously steep especially as there may be no warranty left due to irregular servicing and the buyer has had no test drive.

I do suspect prices have bottomed out now, for a bit anyway.

Not sure if that is a good price or not, for what it is its cheap as chips, but no log book/service book would put a lot of people off including myself...sorry did you say you bought it?

The buyer over paid for an auction car with no docs. IMHO
It is strange how the avants seem to hold their value better!

Second that.

Not strange - Avants are the only "real" RS's.

I didn't buy it, it's far too close to retail price considering the risks involved (if clutch is f**ked no warranty will cover it).
And by the time a logbook comes and you can tax it, it may well be worth a lot less.

I wouldn't buy an RS6 saloon but the B7 does look good especially in Clarkson red (though I would prefer an estate).

Thats strong money imho it should be behind book given it circumstances 24-25k max as you say could have some immediate maintenance due that you wouldnt know until you drove it,im guessing a private purchaser had it

Nope, mug punter bought it.

Its started at £20k.
I think people think the week before Xmas is the time to grab a bargain at auction and assume they can't go wrong.
I'd say it was a private buyer yes.
Imagine having to wait 6 weeks before you can (tax it and thus) drive it!

They probably dont know what hassle no docs will cause them

Very much over paid for that! You can get one from a dealer for £28,500 if you haggle, and it comes cleaned up with warranty and ready to go, so he only "saved" £1100 - muppet.
I'd have valued it at £24,000 considering the lack of paper work.
What did the others fetch?

I didn't wait around to find out but one was still there today so poss not sold - dark blue 57 reg.

May I ask who / where the auction was held?

Audi Finance at BCA Measham, 250ish cars, many boring models, the odd interesting one.
