It will be worth the wait...!

I am really bored now and called my dealer today. He confirmed I am definitely first for the Avant but it will be September or October delivery!

I have been offered a new Range Rover Sport 4.2 Supercharged in 3 weeks time. Seriously tempted and may cancel the RS4 order.

Have an S4 Avant so could be a good change. Don't think I can wait for Sept/Oct and as I have 2 children now the RR could be good. A friend of mine has one and it is fantastic.

Ditto,

Think I am in the same position as you, but last I was told was June/July delivery so perhaps it has slipped.

My concern is residual value (don't get me wrong, I expect a hit, but I don't want an RS6 size hit from new). The V8 M3 is getting nearer and it will effect demand for the RS4, no limited numbers on the RS4 is a bad sign. And now a cab looks likely which is further going to dilute the RS brand.

50k buys you alot of car, and other manufacturers offering some tempting stuff.

I think we'll be waiting even longer than that... September at the very earliest for the first Avants. Really put off with taking delivery of a nice new car just as the shitty weather sets in for the forthcoming 8 months... Thinking of posponing delivery of mine til summer 07 or even spring 08 depending what I get in the meantime... Who knows how many they are going to make, and until when?? I'm currently looking at a 6+

Yeah tough decisions Bob

Cake and eat situation....enjoy the Big Bus with the Twin Turbo's for a while, then hop into a nice new motor....life is hard

Yes, the Big Bus that haemorrhages cash by all acounts... Leaving me about seven pence to put towards a new car! Oh well...

Go for a slightly older RS6 and leave the +Plus and you'll spend a lot less.

Getting off-topic now, sorry everyone.

I've today cancelled my saloon as the dealer advised that the avant will now be early summer.

In some way I'm dissapointed but at least that gives me more time to save!

All well said. I'm sitting on my B6 S4 Avant and S4 Cab and waiting for the V8 M3.

Ive got the New M3 V8 on order, have done since Oct 04.
Number 3 on list for Sytner group where i live, so not bad.

Was offered an RS4 for June Delivery, dealer allocated car which may be run as demo, but they will allow me to have it before its run, plus its speccable before i take delivery, April build or so. Was thinking i may not loose too much on the RS4 before the M3 arrives, but now starting to think different, is everyone waiting for the Avant or what? seems to be the case..
