To cheap! Come on guys, dont let them drop so low. Its up to you lot what they sell for. I just sold mine yesterday for over 20k. The guy was prepaired to pay near 25k for another that he liked, The buyers are out there, just need them to like your car.

It is a buyers market out there and if you want to sell then you have to make it more attractive than other cars available.

BTW - even at £15.9k, it is still a LOT more than some people pay

Offer him £21k for it ;) :lol:

That's a crazy price. The problem with pricing so low is that some buyers get suspicious, they start to wonder what the catch is with RS6s or if there is something wrong with the car itself.

I would not let mine go for anywhere near that, because I know just how good it is! 8)

The other problem of pricing and selling so low is that the cars start to fall onto the radar of buyers who would ordinarily not be able to buy at 'normal' prices. This results in a financial 'stretch' to get an RS6 for say £15k - they may have the money to buy but not to look after properly. So maintenance is skipped, cheap parts are used and when the cars finally become too pricey for these folks to run, they're sold on with a multitude of lurking issues and general nastyness. Prices then drop like stones.

Seems like our beloved RS6's will go the same way as the classic Impreza's from the late 90's, with the brand and image diving soon after.

Sad but I fear true. And there was me thinking that a late model RS6+ in much desired Daytona would hold its price pretty well!

I think prices will bottom out soon if we hold on and ride the storm. I paid almost double that price for mine around 18 months ago.

I agree. Stop selling and the prices will sustain like other such past classics (3 door Sierra Cosworth) selling due to the fookin credit crunch IS NOT the answer. I wouldnt sell mine for love nor money because what else can you buy with this spec, room, power, practicality, presence? Quite simply nothing


hold on guys and the price will go up instead of down put in its most simple form supply and demand. If non out there to buy the price will climb due to deamnd

I love RS 6's
