4 Rs4s
2 q7 sport editions (1 sitting on the drive)
S3 sportback
S3 saloon (at work)
S1 sportback (en route)

Not a massive spec Jose but the plan is to use it for promotional purposes for work and then sell it back to Audi within 2 months.

Nice selection! Wish I had an excuse to get through that many. My friends think I'm made changing every year as it is!

Looks the nuts with the two tone and exterior Quattro pack. You've either got to go all out or nothing for the sleeper look with the S1 I think.

I'm losing, but not as much as you think ?? If I was I wouldn't be changing them as often.

S3 saloon listed at £40k, paid £35.200 for it and just been offered £35k as a px. So £200 for an s3 saloon for 7 weeks isn't bad.

Q7 sport edition, list £56k, paid £46.700. Px'd against another sport edition 7 weeks later at £46k

So £900 loss on £96k worth of audis in 7 weeks ain't bad I'd say ..

I wanted to go with a pan roof and Quattro interior pack buy needed to keep the car under £30k and as I won't be keeping it I need to be careful on the spec ..

I know of a couple of people that do similar... If you are not too fussed about spec and the hassle of changing cars/paperwork all the time it is a cheap way to own nice cars. If you compare your losses to what you would have paid on a PCP or lease you are WAAAAY up!

I've lost £1000s in the past like everyone else Jose, but as long as I can keep this ball rolling I will.

Once RS3 is announced (as Long as it's a saloon) I'll be ordered a car and it will be specced up as a keeper :)

Indeed - it's all about choosing wisely! 'S' cars are a good one to go for as they all have high residuals.

Yeah I agree, just need to judge it right with the q7s as I need a 7 seater but want to be out of them before the new one starts to hit the residuals.

You seem to have a thing about the cost of these cars and the amounts people lose. Any reason?

Apparently the Polo R is going to get the DSG.

Audi chose not to as it was a big percentage weight penalty on such a small platform.

I quite like that it's manual only, attracts proper drivers only ;)

Hi
How is the car,
What's it like as a daily driver.
I'm looking to change from my abarth Essesse and want something that puts a bigger smile on my chops.
