RS4 B5's worth more than B7's in 12months?

Post by A20LEE » Thu Dec 11, 2008 9:01 pm

What do you think?. 2006 B7's are down to £26k and low miles B5's are at £25k ish.

I think the B7 has suffered its worst part of the depreciation, but also the current climate has affected this IMO.

But overall, yes I think the B5 if not worth more, will be the same sort of value in the next 12 months.

Personally, the exclusitvity (400 units) has made a big difference IMO.

don't 100% agree, 993's are the last of the aircooled .. thus a real '911'

996's were more mass produced ..

B5 = special. B7 = mass produced

But the same can be said of the B7, all RS cars are turbo'd bar the B7 so maybe in years to come the B7 won't be regarded as a proper RS and its not rare either.

I still think the B7 is a lovely car. Hmmm, just looking on Autotrader there are 2 with almost identical miles 28-30k.

2000 B5 £24995
2006 B7 £27995

Personally I'd have the B7 as it is so much newer and the interior is such a nice place to be comparably. Yes it would be better if it was supercharged and without DRC but it is still a <5s 0-60 car, and looks it. Just my 2p of course :thumbs:

Oh yeah agree with you there, they are a great looking car, and probably if you bin the DRC, it would be great. And as said interior is much more modern, and a better place to be.
