Noticed on the used car locator that you can buy a demo car for unde 70k already. There is one car there for 69k that has 400 miles on the clock and a few others for low 70s. Looks as thugh thee will be a bargain in another year or so.

I will wait until they are £60k....Im hoping for the fall at least by xmas time....maybe even more!

Just been mooching around the Audi site and there are now 4 cars under 68k the one at 83k in Preston looks sadly well overpriced
They seem to have dropped 20k since may/june thats 4k a month!!!!
maybe 59k by xmas?
kc

thats 4k a month!!!!

Fantastic... Everyone has always said that this ones over-priced relative to what new prices of C5 was, there is no way they can justify a £20k price hike in only a few years. C5 was about £40-45k used at 18-24 months old and I suspect that the C6 will be similarly valued. But having had £35k depreciation in lieu of £15k.

Exactly. I said back in July when I cancelled my order, that this would do £30k depreciation in 12 months, but a certain blinkered minority refused to accept this view. This is coming to fruition and I can't help feeling a certain amount of satisfaction. Not for the fact that prices are plummeting, more for the fact that some arrogant German financial wizard at Audi decided that they could secure over £80,000 for such a bland effort.

to be fair its not just Audi RS6's... if you look at the "prestige performance" Merc, Porsche, BMW, all are having great strides of depreciation as news today advised 20% drop in sales for Sept '08 on Sept '07 so bucket loads of discount deals for new affecting all of our residuals... if your looking to trade up then its a great time as although your getting less for your car, your getting a huuuggee chunk of the purchase price of your replacement so cost to change is advantageous... just have your eyes open and don't bank on them future residuals.
