However mint, simply not worth 18k on that mileage. A Plus with that mileage is barely worth that.

Used cars in the UK are extremely cheap compared to the rest of Europe (and beyond) though...must be the steering wheel thing. It prevents exports so the market is saturated with used cars. I paid over 20k GBP for mine, and there is a + for sale here for 33k.
B7 RS4 saloon Misano red, comfy seats, JHM tune & JHM full exhaust with cats and resonators - gone.
C5 RS6 Avant Daytona/Cognac - gone.

Might that not be a Plus with the Plus badge deleted from the centre console? When was the last standard C5 RS6 manufactured? I didnt realise any were manufactured in 05. Every day's a School Day?!

no, Plus's were only 2004 models ... and that has been asked before

its twisted logic ... i bet some fool will pay that price, but would turn their nose up at it £5k cheaper but private sale

Perhaps more so for Pluses? I WAS willing to pay extra for my Plus, luckily not the £25k being asked, having said that I still expect to make a reasonable loss should I ever decide to sell.
