I've gone with my head too many times. This time I just three caution to the wind & said f*** it (pardon my language, but thats exactly what I said).

I'm really glad I did now

Depreciation wise, I lost £6k on my vRS over 2 years. I reckon if I keep the S4 for 3 years its going to lose about £10k, so overall not much difference. Just a bigger outlay at the beginning.

i recently got a trade in value on my S4 for an RS4 and after 8 months it has lost 14k on book price. So for me that's 7k lost already!

Enjoy your new car, they are really nice to drive.

your colour does suit the car very well and a nice spec.

Had to deliver 2 already this year.

This thread NEEDS pictures.

How dare you be out driving and enjoying your new toy and depriving us of the jealously we all deserve!!

Pics to follow soon

She's all dirty now.......and as for the car

Don't do it!

I saw one when I looked at mine, I've got to admit it looked awesome.

The wife said 'is that the same as the one we've come to see?'. If only......

On the performance side though, just get yourself booked in for a stage 1 map. 400bhp+ I hear, it will certainly keep up with RS4

Trade value is poo! Sell private on something that new.

The depreciation will tail off considerably over the next 18 months

Don't do it!

im not going to. Weighed it all up and it's not worth it.

stage 1 is minimum 435bhp. One guy with a manual got 462 with a map and filter. That will cream an RS4.
