S4 in France?

Post by taz » Wed Apr 09, 2003 4:10 am

Hi all,
I am in the US at the moment but moving to France at the end of the year and it's a good chance to dump the Impreza RS2.5 I have here. I always wanted a WRX but not sold here when I moved to the US so I got a RS instead, it's now falling apart after ~3 years and I regret not buying a S4 then.

Any quick ideas on the going price for a S4 in France - 1999, 2000, 2001 years. Had trouble finding one on any web sites etc.

thanks
davidd

the best thing here in the mainland..is to buy a s/rs4 in germany..there they are a lot cheaper. of course you always have to pay some extra tax...but mostly you're still cheaper......so daily check www.mobile.de.
Where in France you gonna live???
There is also an active audi scene in france..
Taipan should know most sites..

Thanks for the help.

Looks like they are just a bit more expensive than here in the US. You are looking at 35K US (~32KEUR)for a 2001 in good condition from a dealer.

Will be working in Sophia Antipolis so will live somewhere just west of Nice.

Took a drive around and up into the mountains there a few months ago, nice roads, interesting driving a Peugeot 407 diesel rental car though.

Well the roads around Nice are indeed tremendous with the combination of fast Autoroutes with long downhill sections and those B roads up to the Alpes Maritimes. Once did the route from Nice to Val d'Isere in a Ford Escort 1.3L in 1981 and remember boiling the brake fluid on the descent to Briancon. Truly breathtaking scenery though [img]images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]
