I agree, the Wallace RS4's seem to be on the button. However, your spelling, grammar, punctuation and general sentance structure leaves a lot to be desired :wink: (did you take a breath when you were saying that outloud before typing?)

Jon was probably :drink: when he wrote it.

Not defending Jon as such, but from my own experiences when looking for my RS4 the cars offered by the Scots dealer were overpriced when compared to other cars with similar specs from other dealers.

At the time a red RS4 was up for 42k. With negotiation they would drop it to 40k, but I paid less than that for a car with similar miles and higher spec.

I'm sure Jon's comments were based on his own experiences too, so I wouldn't take it so personally.
Maybe they've seen the light from previous feedback, or had the car for a little while and needed to shift it. Who knows, there could be any number of reasons why your experience is different to ours.
Congrats on getting the car you wanted at a price you were happy to pay :thumbs:

I don't have a problem mate, from personal experince when shopping around (when there were a lot more rs4's in the dealer network) Lomond Audi always put their RS4's up at 4-5k above the rest of the market.

take a pill mate and calm down!

Yes but lomond audi have a serious reputation for over pricing and as they are now almost fully owned/controlled by audi UK (now the largest dealership in europe) they will no doubt adopt an even stronger price fixing policy!

I paid 36,000 euros for my 2nd RS4. Noggy blue, mint condition, all the options (even folding mirrors), 30k miles It isnt ripoff Scotland it is ripoff UK. and with 5p more for a litre of petrol on the near horizon it just seems a bit too much for me.
