Like the seats don't like the black wheels with red rims. All personal taste

A lot of chintz and not a lot of substance when it came to specifying them. Also some very questionable colour combinations.

The Limited Editions were always spec'd with an exclusive interior / buckets / aluminium pack / rotors that were pretty ugly. The rest of the spec may or may not be missing features that would usually be commonplace. If you can get a well spec'd one, with an interior that didn't make you feel sick and then swap out the rotors for v-spokes I think you would be onto a winner...

Agree with above, the rotors (IMHO) date the car awfully.

I wanted a limited edition one, felt it needed the bucket seats and the red or yellow works for me. I replaced the matts with plain black ones to calm down the int..

I recon the Fontain one is spot on.

£47k is laughable. Marcus must be smoking some seriously good crack to think that's an attractive price.

It's a one owner "ok" spec with sub 15k miles and if it's had no paintwork to tidy it up the price is about right IMO, but then again who am I to say

Worth is always subjective really. Well spec'd low mileage and owner cars will always carry a premium. New B9 will be increasingly expensive, leaving cars like that with plenty of market headroom. Sure, it won't fly off the forecourt, but buyers will be out there and dealers have plenty of margin to sit out and play the longer game.

Think I'd rather try do a deal on this one though - http://monacocarsuk.com/vehicle/audi-rs4-avant/

Better spec, lower miles and with the money saved, get Neidfaktor to work their magic on a RS6 style retrim to the buckets and interior. It'd end being a more cohesive and subtle looking car.

No black pack. Wheels are interesting :thumbsdown:

Seats look good, if the correct colour combo has been choosen.

The one for sale via Monaco is very similar to mine with the exception of some differences in spec. Mine has quite a bit more on the spec but doesn't have buckets and is a 15' plate. I was offered £40K by Audi over a year ago when I was looking at an RS6. I knocked back the RS6 as the p/x value on mine was poor. I figured I would have got a bit more for it selling it to a fontain or SCC but assumed not much. Bearing that in mind the one at Monaco seems to be priced quite high, unless resale values have improved? Based on what I'm seeing that seems to be the case.
