Long shot (TVR for RS4/6 Avant)

Post by **Toobin** » Mon Jun 29, 2009 1:35 pm

I have a TVR Sagaris and am looking to get an RS4 avant or maybe a good RS6 avant. I have been offered £33500 for the car from a (specialist)dealer but wondered if anyone was looking for one and wanted to do some sort of swap

Just a though before I go down the dealer route

I have just done the same thing Toobin 2 months ago - Sagaris for an RS4 Avant. The RS4 is nice but not as quick as the Saggy as doesn't sound as good - I think I need a Milltek! I sold my Sag for £31000 and it had 22k miles on it - How many miles has yours done?

My saggy is like new, it has 13500 miles on it and has the benefit of a full 8month warranty (plus already had a rebuild)

I have taken out the RS4 from a dealer and loved it. I have 2 cars at the moment, the other being an A6 avant and thought that combinig the two would be the perfect solution for me

So do you miss your Tivver or are you glad to have made the move?

toobin, any pic's of your beastie

I wish the company was still in business as I would definately have purchased one during my lifetime, just love the noise and exclusivity

sure, here's a good one

love the car but just need something more practical for the timebeing .. I highly recommend owning one at some point

i had an interesting straight run against a sagaris on a very long and straight private road earlier this year was most amusing!

what was the outcome? I held my own against a new RS6 recently

he was infront of me and all i wanted to do was pass and proceed on my journey however, he decided not to move over and gave it the beans - all i can say is there was hardly anything in it (he didn't pull any sort of a distance on me) - suppose i was ready each time he went to kick on therefore wasn't caught out....... he eventually moved over when i passed him at 155+ on this private and very long road.............

we are very fortunate to have such an abundance of private roads in the UK don't you think!

I saw that too - 13,500 miles and needing a rebuild? I didn't think they were that unreliable/bad?

Nice to see one in a more 'subtle' colour, so used to seeing TVR's in great flambouant colours. Good luck with your RS4 hunting.

early TVR yes but I should have stipulated that this was done as part of a development project for a well known TVR dealer ... this was done in 2007 to make sure that the car had the latest components etc .. result = better performance

Very nice car - wish you luck on sale / swap. Pity I have kids (could bungie them to the roof I suppose)
