Hi Guys,
Not been on the board for a while now but time has come to finally move on from the s3.
My budget is approx £25k but could stretch this to 35k if I can make the man maths work.
C6 RS6
the positives are obvious but concerns i have are:
b8.5 S4
Again, the positives are clear but the concerns are:
Just to confuse the issue, i'm also having thoughts on GTR's and 997 Turbos that look pretty much deprecation proof albeit require some more cash up front and the dog / future family will have to squeeze in somehow!
Appreciate that this is somewhat of a first world problem but any thoughts would be appreciated!
cheers,
Nick

C6 RS6
the positives are obvious but concerns i have are:
- the running costs vs performance gains over modified s4 may annoy me
- the gearbox isnt as modern
- standard rs6 might be too muted and remapped may actually be too fast to properly enjoy
- its a heavy beast and handling isnt as sharp
- will have to stretch my original budget as i dont want an early high miler
- will it depreciate faster once the c7 starts to come down in price
b8.5 S4
Again, the positives are clear but the concerns are:
- not going to look or feel as special as RS6
- probably going to depreciate further than RS6 would
- is it going to take a hit in value once b9 comes out
- A 700bhp rs6 would destroy a 480bhp s4 im guessing?
- its maybe a little small inside for family car
Just to confuse the issue, i'm also having thoughts on GTR's and 997 Turbos that look pretty much deprecation proof albeit require some more cash up front and the dog / future family will have to squeeze in somehow!
