RS246.com Forum :: The World's #1 Audi R, S and RS Enthusiast Community

Folks,
due to kids and houses etc i have been away from fast audis for a while now but in the next few months I might be able to get back into one.
It needs to be a daily and I think around £10k.
I would really love to own an rs.
My previous audis were S3 (old shape) and a B5 and B6 S4.
I see some B7 RS4 around £10k but i know a B5 will be a better investment - however these are all the more rare now and out of my budget i think.
I'd appreciate and advice or help anyone has??
many thanks again

Around £10k for an RS4... are you buying a CAT C/D?

seen a few recently - albeit high mileage - 130/140k at around 11K.

A B7 RS4 in your purchase budget will either be a Cat C/D or a car that has been very poorly looked after and will require a few buckets of RS currency to make it a decent car.

Ps. 1 RS currency = a bag of sand.

thanks for the input - perhaps i am reaching to hard.
dont really want another S however.
we will see how the search goes over the next few months.

where do i need to be realistically then??
13 or 14K?? - or higher?? how hard do i need to save?
I dont mind an early one with a few miles but one that has been cared for.
thanks again

You'd get a decent C5 RS6 for your budget

dont fancy an auto to be honest.

The range of cars (B7 RS4) available is huge, from 11k up to mid 20s.

Also bear (bare?) in mind it's going to be:-
£500 tax
£500 service
£300-500 insurance

A year just to keep it on the road... So the initial cost is just the start.

Tyres are about £400-500 an axle too.
Brakes are more than double that.

Not a car to buy "top of the range, bottom of the market" IMHO.
