Thanks for all the comments guys-funnily enough I spoke to the guy I work with who has the Porsche and he just reached the same conclusion and is selling his for exactly the same reasons as me.
All valid points and I buy cars to drive them and not to have a ‘Garage Queen’.
First dibs will go on this forum Plus another as I would really like the car to go to an enthusiast who will care for it. For the car to be abused (or tuned for that matter) just feels wrong.
Not holding out much hope on selling it here to be honest though-I bought her from here but via PM. All 3 previous RS cars I had were advertised on here but zero bites or never advanced beyond some PM’s. Go figure.

Wow. Mega cars! How did you find the tech-my last RS was a B9 RS5 and the tech was on point so quite a bit of the C7 is way behind the curve but it’s so much more than tech as we know

I’m not a fan of loads of tech and all that touch screen stuff. It should be all about the car and the engine. If you want tech play driving games on Xbox 🤣🤣🤣 . That’s why I’m not a fan of the c8 with all the touch stuff I’ve driven a few and still prefer the C7. Had a lovely drive home in mine today in the sunshine ☀️ 😁

How did you find the R8 by the way?
Seriously considering that as a next one as I have a boring car for runaround and a heavily modded Defender as an aggressive toy.
To go back to the thread topic-looks like the 6 has now sold. Put it up on the for sale section last night but it was sold to another vendor tonight.
Mixed feelings and lessons learned but I have lost almost no money which is always good
