Goodbye RS . . .
Goodbye RS . . .
So after 6 months I have sold the RS 5.
What an incredible car it was/is. Bloody expensive to run as a daily driver. Approx £1200 per month it cost me in total. Ouch! In total I lost just over a grand from buying to selling. Martyn at Bath Audi has been a great help.
Looking at getting a Polo GTI as my new daily and as something I can teach my mrs in.
I have confirmed my interest in the upcoming RS 3 and will likely be ordering one as soon as I can. Should give my mrs enough time to pass her test.
I will still be visiting the forum regularly but not as an owner.

Can't teach her in that. Too quick.HYFR wrote:Wow that sold quick, who did it sell too?

GTI is a balance. Allows me to save money for the RS 3 or potentially V8 R8.

Lost just over a grand and it will need tyres, tax, warranty all in the next six months so I'm happy with that.Rick_RS4 wrote:sad day, bet you lost a bundle

A grand after buying selling to an Audi dealer is nothing short of amazing
Re: Goodbye RS . . .
He did offer me more if he could sell it for more than that within 30 days.HYFR wrote:A grand after buying selling to an Audi dealer is nothing short of amazing
I just sold it there and then to avoid me changing my mind.
Sad day and an epic car. Looking forward to RS 3 order book opening. That should be bloody quick. He is letting me drive his S3 whilst he drops he home this week as well to give me and idea.

Re: Goodbye RS . . .
Good time to do it mate as he has hardly any decent cars. He had a whole line of RS 4s end of last month, R8s, RS 5s etc. He has one left and mine by Friday.iR8V10 wrote:Well done nick, might drop Martyn a mesage about mine as he knows the car too.
