should i Keep my RS4

Post by Dangermoose » Wed Oct 04, 2017 4:08 pm

All
I have a red 2006 RS4. I bought it brand new so it has only one owner. It has done 79,000 miles and has full Audi history (never been anywhere else).
I am getting a company car soon. The question is should I sell the RS4 or keep it for 10/15/20 years hoping it will appreciate in value.
Anyone any thoughts on this?
Thanks

Because of what it is. Last of the N/A's, last of the manuals, the icon or RS4's. it's a no brainer.

thanks daytonamart..... what counts as "dross"?
Mine is unmodified, un-crashed, nothing major ever gone wrong with it.... alright could do with a spruce-up and some alloy repairs but still looks and drives as good as new
My worry is that I spend a few thousand getting it sorted, a few more thousand keeping it 'safe and well' for 10+ years and then selling it for £2.50 more than its worth today!

I think yours has a bit too many miles on it for it to be a collectors item.....in addition it's in red.....

Also, you seriously want to keep it and maintain it for 10-15 years in the hope that it might make you an extra 5000 pounds on what it could get you now?

That equates to 500 pound gain per year, provided it isn't eroded away by maintenance/insurance/storage costs......

Unfortunately it's not the kind of car that's gonna bring a fortune in the future! Regardless of the mods condition etc. It's a drivers car!! If you don't enjoy driving it, sell it. Let someone else enjoy it! No point storing it for years to come to only gain few £k
I guarantee you will spend more In Maintenance over the years than any future appreciation..
also! I call rule 1

Be interesting to see what the future holds, I wonder if all the early (and not so early now) 911 owners thought when they were churning out Porches like they were going out of fashion. Some of them are eye watering money now. TVR is another one that amazes me.
