Avants holding up well

[PJC]

do saloons hold their value as well?
not sure If I bought mine for good value, but I've paid £24,700, 38500 miles, 06 plate, black, original owner from new, just serviced in October and FASH + multipoint checked by Audi Walton (coil pack changed), sunroof, DRL, technology pack, sat nav, black buckets (good condition) + FBSW, all 4 heated seats, wheels just refurbished, good to mint condition overall

tyres needed to be changed (doing it sat - £900) + I will have to spend £250 for the window regulator (burn in hell!!! ).
so all in all I will have paid 25,850 for the car in full working order.

what do you think?

Good deal fella.

I agree and I did some research well before buying,,,as the topic was relevant I wanted to double check

It only matters whats it worth when you come to sell it.

residuals are rock solid

I put 10k on a avus saloon I bought from Audi (dealer premium) and only lost £1k

on my latest cab, plan to sell in early May, so 6 months, and aim to get my money back no problem

What people are asking and what they are selling for are two different things. Good cars (with low miles although this tends not to be a plus factor for RS4s) will still sell. Dogs will be cheap. Private retail for a good, well specced, 06/56 with below average mile (less than 50K) is 23K, trade 21K, a dealer will want 25K......I'm sure a few will moan differently but these are trade (black book) figures. Avants are roughly 1.5 to 2 grand more.

Good luck finding one at those prices, especially at an Audi dealer.

The Sticker price in dealers is not what you pay - deduct anything upto 2K for haggling.

The cheapest Avant at Audi just now is £27,995, the most expensive is £34,995.

I was quoting saloons with my pricing - the cheapest Audi have is 25K for a 48000 miler - which is what I said. Haggle and you'd get it for 23.5K. Avants 2K more.

[HYFR]

i dont think you will get a <50k saloon from audi from £23.5k ... but hey ho

[aidanjaye]

Audi have a saloon with less than 50k for 25, minus the haggling bit n your around the 23.5,

[aidanjaye]

From a non franchised dealer????

Isn't that a OE55 plate? I.e press car / dealer demo?

I'd prefer a cherished privated owned car myself

There are always exceptions to the rule, that's how its proved

[aidanjaye]

No, its a 06 plate - god knows what condition it is in.

Agree AKA - a good privately owned car is preferable but with the cars getting older, new buyers might veer towards the dealer and the added
attraction of a warranty.
