RS4 B7 For Sale

Post by SMJ » Sun Oct 26, 2008 11:04 pm

Hi All,

I am new to this forum but have read with interest the various posts regards 2nd hand prices. I am about to put my RS4 B7 up for sale and expect to achieve a good price.

I note a recent post regards the sale of 07 RS4(s) at Perth Audi for £42k + with avg mileage and also commentary from my local Audi garage regards re-sale (they are still moving them on regularly). The RS4 is a unique car and premium examples are very desirable.

As with all cars, mileage, spec & history are important. On any limited edition car such as the RS4 its obviously even more so. The best, high spec, low mile examples will always achieve a premium as they will continue to be desirable to the collector / enthusiast if ever put up for resale.

This is not to say the economy isn't affecting residual values. I expect to lose somewhere near to £7k on a car I bought in Jan, but for one post on this forum to suggest price drops to £28k for a 2yr old RS4 is laughable.

I may be wrong and I know circumstances sometimes dictate that a car must be sold, but would anyone honestly take such a huge hit on a car that will have cost up to £58k 2yrs previous? These are not Jags, M3's or 7 series BM's, the RS4 is a limited production, practical, everyday supercar. Personally i'm selling the car as I don't want to rack miles up on it with an imminent job change, but I for one won't let it go if i'm offered silly money.

Would welcome people's thoughts, and obviously if any enthusiasts are out there who want a showroom condition example, please get in touch via PM.

Steve

Was the new RS4 a limited production though? I didn't think it was.

Production was limited by the fact it stopped to make way for R8 production...

ATM its a buyers market, not a sellers and its worth what anyone with money is prepared to pay for it... question is do you take that money now or even less in a months time or even less after christmas!

Well I've been looking into selling my B7 RS4 for the last few weeks. It's an 06 reg saloon with 24,000 miles and a top spec. I would have to take approx £30,000 for a private sale and £27,000 for a trade sale. Needless to say it can't keep depreciating at that rate and in 4 years it must still be worth approx £18,000 so I'm going to keep it until its 4 years old and just enjoy what is a fantastic car. There's no point in trying to keep the miles down to keep the resale value up as then you don't get to enjoy the car!

When is it ever a sellers market? Cars lose money, and they dont go back up over time like a house would after a recession.

Enjoy while you have it I say!
