Hell yeah! You will not regret it!

That said knowing this place, I bet some smart Alec comes along, quotes my post, and edits it to look like I've made some sort of guarantee you won't regret it.

My money's on Snotsicle, let see!

Ha ha - no worries at all, I reckon it's a safe bet. I just had to scratch the B8 itch, although it was very tough to resist the temptation to go for a new RS6 - one dealer quoted 14.8% (!) discount on a high-spec one. The B8 though looks like it's going to cover every possible base for me and that NA V8 will be sorely missed once it's gone.Picture to follow.

I was in exactly the same position with the 6... Definitely not regretting the 4 and saved 30k in the process...

Sure if money was no object the 6 would win out, and ill likely have one next anyway when they are in 40s, something to look forward too :)

Yeah, that's similar to my plan. I've bought at the lower (and slightly leggy) end of the market where most of the depreciation has already been felt. Plan is to see how the first half of next year pans out business-wise and then get into a facelift Rs6. Fingers crossed!

Changed my mind and am buying a Prism one with buckets. 4 reasons; lower mileage, buckets, provenance and have always wanted Prism.
