Anyone interested in two RS4's for sale?

At current interest rates, I think you'd need to be a very astute investor to get an interest rate that would repay the interest on the finance, unless I've missed an opportunity!

As regards the two RS4's at BCA on the 25th, as Dribbler has said, the Prism Silver one (OV14VHG) is listed at Camberley Audi for £52,841 ( how do they arrive at that figure??). The listing doesn't have photos as yet and it doesn't mention the ceramics, but that may change when the car listing is finalised.
The Audi Exclusive blue one (OE14YCG) is at Watford Audi at £52,750. No pictures as yet.
Probably a tidy mark up!

The prism car does have the 'Ramics listed, they're under misc.

What they're being sold for on the forecourt is largely irrelevant until we never know what they sold for, is there any way we can find this out? My BCH login has no details at a all because I guess it was a closed auction.

It's interesting to know though that these go to closed auctions for dealers to bid on. At BMW they force their dealers to buy the cars directly, and each dealer has to buy a specific % of them each year at a fixed price, a price that normally leaves them very little margin.

I had the trade values for these RS4's from my account with BCA, but understandably, they won't disclose the hammer price to anyone after the sale. The only way to know this to attend the auction yourself (anyone can attend the auction, but you are not permitted to bid unless you have registered having an account being obviously a franchised dealer or in the motor trade) or if a trader, seeing the auction online (many dealers bid on line to save attending the auction, but then you are hugely reliant on the assessor of the vehicle having graded it correctly and not missed any bodywork issues - mechanical issues generally would still be under warranty of course). It is likely they got over their book price because the trade values didn't figure in options and the vehicles individual desirability, but nevertheless, the mark up likely to be a pretty penny, otherwise it wouldn't be financially worth it with their overheads, even allowing for the profit on any finance.

Incidentally, BCA also hold BMW Closed Sales as well ; the format of which is identical to the Audi Closed / Invitation Sales. In fact they have these sales for many of the vehicle manufacturers. In this way, it helps to keep many of the prestigious marques within their own individual network, which in turn helps to maintain prices.

I wonder how low it will go before somebody snaps it up? 45?

Well they have reduced the asking price 4k in 7 weeks....and the book value will be dropping from its original 42k all the time, so there is every chance someone might get a look in at 45k.....

I think the Prism one might be the car they used around Silverstone
