Exit Stage Left?

[Golfather]

But jesus the Golf R is boring. really f$%king dull.

Get it mapped.
Stage 1 at the very min, or a JB4 box if you're worried about warranty.

Awesome fun then, would give any "RS" on here a good run for its money.. for a quarter of the cost

M140 ftw-bags of character and with JB4 and meth over 400bhp...needs the MP/Quaife diff though as it gets a tad lively!

GC MOTORS of Harrogate gets another vote from me. Sent 2 cars to them now (rs6 performance and s4) and offered thousands more than other dealers. Audi themselves were downright insulting!

Could be done. It's a '14 plate, high spec but has a few miles on so I don't mind diving it a go. It's about the feel of thing though too, over time. After a V8 it just feels a bit featherweight. With the RS4, you could feel the drivetrain. This is a quick hairdryer. I give it a month.

Someone sent me an offer today of the golf r estate for 2k + vat deposit then 150+ vat per month!!!

[Golfather]

Bargain indeed! Great cars, goes to show you can have just as much fun without having 80k sat on the drive.




Yes, it could do with a drop..

[Leo-RS]

No, No, No at downgrading an RS6 to a Golf

Too much of a drop. Yes, they are fairly quick with a map (Although they wouldn't be giving any RS6's standard or modified a run for their money) but there are tons of them around. Every time I see one, it's being driven by some 21yr old type boy racer and I can't help but think, it's a cheap £250pm lease deal. It's the 'new' Citroen Saxo or Renault Cliosport, a boy racers wet dream. Volkswagen are to blame for that by chucking them out there for peanuts. The 2.0t engine is great no doubts but it sounds like a hairdryer, if you really must go that way, get the Audi S3 instead.

M140's are ugly, the only draw to them is that they are cheap and have great engines, I think you would get bored of the looks after about 20 mins

There are plenty nice new cars to 'downgrade' into to save a bit of money, M3/4, Audi S5, (there are some stonking deals on them at the minute). RS3 Saloon as already mentioned.

However, some good advice on here. It is a false economy with stacks of negative equity. You could potentially be £10k worse off than you are now by moving into another car (Neg equity + new deposit). If you're wanting to save yourself say £400 a month, that £10k that you've just paid to get into a new car would equate to 25 months of your £400 saving.

I wanted the missis to get a golf R as a daily hack but she said exactly same thing - nicest golf but far too common and she's rather have a M135 or an S3.
Well she'd rather have an evoque but we won't go there!

I'm with you on the - 'whoah, I'm paying as much on my cars as on a mortgage' front. I've been in this position too and the only thing I'd say (not knowing your circumstances of course), is maybe just engineer in a trip or two in the car to fall back in love with it.

Are you driving it too much as part of the daily routine? As cross country blast with some time during the weekly commute driving a shed may just give it a different perspective. At the moment, the losses are only on paper.

I agree... book a weekend in Germany... go enjoy yourself where the roads are built to drive

It's an interesting conundrum - I pay around £920pm for mine and have the same thoughts at times, though I see it from a different perspective, in that I work away in the week and take the train; only use the car at weekends, but DAMN.....when I get back in it and have a blast, in dynamic mode, feels special and soooooo good; makes me want to keep it. Heading to see the rents at the weekend in the NW and really excited about the drive (though I might need my head testing as who gets excited about the M5 and M6???)

I had a similar deal through from Vehicle Savers albeit a 3+24 at £200inc VAT. Add in a couple of options such as metallic paint, 19" Prets and DCC, and you have a total bargain for £275 a month.

The new 310 has the 7sp DSG box mated to it instead of the old 6sp box, which means it's now a suitable motorway cruiser. If I wasn't only half way through the lease on our '2nd car' I'd be snapping one up.

i was considering selling mine back in feb/mar but still have it and odometer is ticking over nicely 20k now done since nov last year.

it's also reassuring to know i still have warranty until october next year

Yea it's too big downgrade from Rs6 to Golf, get a bmw m5 universal

[Silverfox42]

Keep it another year. if you are going to lose some money, might as well enjoy the metal!

Something told you it was the right decision when you signed on the dotted line...
