Yes, they haven't sold well since launch for them have they.

I sold the RS6 in September, went to Vegas and then broke my arm so had to put the search on hold for a few months, in that time it went from "no sir no discounts" to getting one for £15k off list.

And that’s the problem, residuals already screwed. The pricing strategy is all wrong.

To be fair it is very overpriced @ screen price, I managed £90k on the configurator!

It's something like £1800 for the carbon roof, something which BMW do "for free" on the M4 & M4, who came up with that gem!

Lovely looking car though, really grown on me since launch, and the virtual cockpit and revised HUD is great. Although a turbo charged V6 it sounds really nice with the sports exhaust.

Does anyone know where I can get the black Audi rings for the front grill and are they easy to fit?
