Buying a new RS4- advice please

[bobbyRS]

Hi all. After 2yrs away from RS's in C63, looking to buy a new RS4
Aware new model will be out in next 12months or so and looking to take advantage of the low APR finance from Audi

Any suggestions as to what sort of discount I should be trying to haggle down bearing in mind it's the outgoing model? I'll be selling my car privately so no part ex needed.

Thanks in advance for any advice

Bob

In 12 months ??.....new A4 or new RS4 model ?

[bobbyRS]

Sorry. Wasn't clear. Meant new A4/RS4 out 2015 I understand. I'm after a new current RS4

[steviefleming]

I wasn't being clear either ...;
(A) Is the new a4 out in 2015
(B) Is the new RS4 out in 2015
(C) Are both the a4 and RS4 out in 2015

[bobbyRS]

AFAIK, new A4 in 2015, new RS4 will be shortly after, I suspect end of year
Any advice on question on price btw?

[steviefleming]

Wow ....I had heard they might introduce the RS4 quicker this time . But if you are correct and there will be a Rs4 available by end of 2015 , then I wouldn't buy a brand new 'old shape' now......preowned one yes , but not a new one.

Can't offer any advice on discounts ....I bought mine in Jan so telling you what I got then shouldn't be a guide on what you should expect now .....time has moved on.

Finance contributions are down, discounts will be similar.

I reckon the B9 RS5 will come out first B9 RS4 in 2016.

OP - It depends on deals Audi are doing but some people have got <£10k discount and low APR finance.

If you take finance, rule of thumb, expect to pay circa the RRP of the car if you add up the monthly payments, deposit and residual. The deal I got £64k car - £699 per month x 48 plus £5000 deposit + £24k residual. I paid for GAP and Lifeshine too.

Not the best deal but it worked for me.

Just FYI, the only reason I have changed my mind on swapping out my RS4 is that I have seen internal Audi communication stating the that B9 RS4 will be launched in Sept/Oct 09. It was in an internal email stating vehicles for 2015.

If I took delivery next spring I would be getting a hit I wouldn't want to absorb.....

You have a long wait for an RS4

It does seem a bit quick.....even Audi can't be that daft....can they??

Corrected for accuracy.

Given A6 FL fiasco, I'd be amazed if they get something sorted for 2015.

Haha, hopefully Audi decide against bringing out the B9 RS4 six months before it's facelifted to B9.5.....

People ask this question every time a new Audi model is launched. Autoexpress and Autocar etc go nuts with the latest scoops on the S and RS models, telling us the RS will be available six months after launch. Everytime its complete bullshit - Audi ALWAYS makes the world wait patiently for the halo model

RS 4 won't see the light of day until at least Sept 16. Expect an S4 Sept '15
