Imola RS cars always look amazing, not that I'd ever have the balls to buy one.

30k is a joke! That garage had a similarly high priced B8 S4 a while back

Isn't that the same dealer that had the white limited edition one up for £35k?

I think a lot of us would like one in this colour,but when it comes down to actually buying one we're put off by the knowledge that they are much harder to sell when the time comes.
I love it,would definitely consider it at the right price,I think £23,000 would be fair,maybe £25,000 if you really wanted it.
I had a vw corrado G60 in yellow back in the late 90's,my mates christened it the canary love missile,its not a colour for being anonymous thats for sure.
I hope whoever buys it sticks a supercharger on it,now that would be a head turner.

I get that ordering a yellow car new, you're gonna see a big hit when you come to get rid, but does that reverse with time to the point where it actually commands a premium over less marmite colours?

Yep, I think so.

They have a Dakar Yellow Z3m Coupe for £43.5k with only 16k on the clock, they were around that price new back in 1999-2002. Would be nice if the B7 RS4 went the same way :kissmyrings:

This dealer have had numerous RS4's at top money - including the white one Mike mentions at £35 - I can't see how they can justify 30K for this...

My mint silver saloon had 37 on the clock when I got it and it was nowhere near this moolah...

The B7 RS4 is starting to be considered as a future classic and prices have definately gone up. When I was originally looking 3 years ago now, I missed out on a Sprint Blue Avant with FBSW, Buckets, Ceramics, 1 owner, 19k miles for £27k. Imagine what that would be retailed for by Parkway and similar now.

Embrace it I say :biggrin3:

Oh I know and I do! We are indeed on the the right side of this as owners. Embraced!
