Dilemma

Post by DAylward » Tue Jan 26, 2010 8:29 pm

I really want a B7 RS4 but they are just out of my price range at the moment however a B7 S4 is within my budget (assuming i can sell my current car) so do I wait a few months save like mad and get the car i really want or should I get an S4 in the interim? would I be really let down by an S4 as it isnt my first choice car.I would be driving around knowing that i really want an RS,would I be happy

You could always get a cheap B6 S4, run that for a year, and then get the B7 RS4 in 2011...

Admittedly I went from a B6 S4 to a B7 RS4 but there is no comparison whatsoever. Given a shortlist of two, I'd wait as long as it takes for the RS...
