Am I being optimistc or naive?
My May 06 RS4 with Tech pack and 2900 miles, the dealer has just offered me £42500 in part ex. Thats £10K in eight months, blimey! Is the dealer being greedy or is that what I should expect? Thoughts welcome.

RE: Residuals
I stand to be corrected but I think the prices are falling on these cars with the arrival of the new batch Audi releasing early next year..and of course the new M3.

If anyone can do me a recaro seat RS4 (any body shape) for that price then drop me an e-mail.Davey_B wrote:Am I being optimistc or naive?

Really don't want the aggrevation of selling it privately unless it was through a member on here or a referal from someone I knew.
Mind you the S6 avant I'm looking at has taken a similar hit in the same amount of time. Guess I'll probably have to bite the bullet, but not without a small renegotiation hopefully.

RS4 Straight out the box - gone

The dilema is the RS4 has to go, too much negative attention, (people trying to break in to get the keys, followed twice) and I need to change to a load lugger. Choices, A6 avant, BMW 5 series touring, won't buy a Merc because they're crap (sales and especially service). Still want a bit of poke underneath my right foot and the S6 does have that. Debadged the S6 is fairly innocuous so it won't attract the same attention hopefully. Having driven one, being aware the "all knowing" Clarkson doesn't like them, I was looking for the faults. Yes the ride is hard, but no more so than the RS4, steering is much lighter and perhaps lacking in feedback, but I'm prepared to live with that. It has it's niggles, and it's not an RS4 but it ticks the boxes for me at the moment.Merlot wrote:Watch yourself in the S6 (see link) and get a massive discount on the sticker price (even if that is already at £47-49k).Davey_B wrote:Really don't want the aggrevation of selling it privately unless it was through a member on here or a referal from someone I knew.

Dealer went to £45K part ex as well so not too bad.
