What car next?

[Ollieb7]

you don't want a GTR, 6 months service intervals and for the value of £800??

Agree!

[lengster1]

For the amount i get to use/drive my "best car" that is a fair consideration,is it 800 every 6 months regardless? Surely one must be an inbetweenie simple oils service? That plus there thirst is cooling my interest i have to say,it seems as ever you need to pay alot more cash to have the "edge" in performance!

I quite fancy a Aston Vantage. Been looking at ones in black on 06-07 plate.

Then again i've been looking at Range Rovers too as i really miss my last one

[RS6chris!]

Theres a C6 RS6 for 36k on Audis used car locator...they defo coming down in price!!!...

However...i spent last night detailing my RS4....when i was filling her today at the local Shell....i was stood looking at her from the Shop parked on the forecourt..she looked amazing!!!....everyone was looking at her..

Times like this i think "should i keep it next year?"...

So many choices??????

You'd only want the 4.7 (2008-) rather than the earlier 4.3, if there were ever an all show no go car it was the 4.3 so then you are still looking at 60k+ for the cheapest ones.

+1 ^^^

The 4.7 is much better but to me never felt as fast as it should have been.

keep it

C6's will be £26k next year

[ArthurPE]

I'll keep the RS4 until the CPO warranty ends in July 2013

been 'browsing' or day-dreaming though...the search and anticipation is 1/2 the fun
R8, but not practical enough

perhaps the new S6 w/ V8 twin turbo...420 HP/405 lb ft, should be able to be modded and get 1/2 way to the new S8's 520/480, since a chip/boost should do it

new S8 but 2 years won't be enough depreciation to get to my price point

2007-2008 BMW Alpina 7, new were 125k USD, now with 20k miles 50k USD...but quattro will be hard to give up

time will tell

RS 5 is basically the same as the RS 4 but the DSG box makes it a quicker beast

It's suspension setup has come in for a lot of criticism so it muight be faster in a straight line, but where it matters round the twisty bits the SR4 will be faster.

I've test driven the RS5 a couple of times now because I want to like it - you really have to take one out for a good test trip and make the salesman sweat to realise it's a very different car to the RS4.
As Dave has said it doesn't handle in the same way all. Not to write it off completely but just to say the driving experience is very different and not to the better in my book.
It's also a much bigger car and feels it. On a detail note the cheap pressed steel+plastic boot struts really don't say prestige imho.

Ditto.
Compact Premium V8 4x4 Saloons that looks this good....it's not a long list is it?

[RS6chris!]

Renewals are always more than the quote a new customer gets - try putting the RS4 through go compare as well...

[adsgreen]

my renewal and confused.com for the same insurer was 55% higher.

[posterboyj]
