I have 13 watchers on eBay but haven't had a viewing yet. What do you think the score is with that? People hoping it won't sell and I will drop the price further?

Not gonna happen i'm afraid. Looks like I will be keeping her even if she will cost more to run than my planned A3 TDI purchase.

There comes a point when its worth more to you than the money you're likely to get for it.

Have fun.

This is the exact situation I am finding myself in.

My wife doesn't want me to sell and I don't want to as far as my heart goes. My head tells me that the sensible thing would be to sell up, get a new A3 TDI that will be over £150 a month cheaper to run and will be under warranty (peace of mind).

But as you say, there comes a point where the saving in running cost is offset by the crap price you must accept for the RS4. To me it is well worth what I am asking and I refuse to let her go for much less, fortunately my situation isn't that dire that I am forced to sell for whatever I can get.

By the time you factor in the A3 depreciation your probably best to keep the RS.

yup, the biggest running for cost for any relatively new car is depreciation ...
in this case, buying ANY new car is going to cause more depreciation than the RS 4 will over the next 3 years
