So after 3 years of ownership the S4 is going back to Audi. Significant negative equity on the deal so nothing to get back for a trade in - and given the chat with the salesman it seems this is quite a problem for them at the moment - but that should mean some opportunity second hand I suppose.
I've enjoyed owning the car and its certainly done everything I have wanted it to, lugging kids stuff, the dog and my wife and I around the country - while putting a smile on my face when needed. The car was a real sleeper and certainly caused me less heart ache than my previous S3 when parking it up.
Paintwork certainly stood up well with the protection applied from new.
1 Set of tyres and 1 service during the 20k of ownership pretty good given the performance.
Would I buy another - no. Spec for spec I'd be paying alot more for a lesser car given the current options that can be ordered - well when I checked back in October that was the case. And the biggest factor for me was not wanting to go diesel.
I'm just in the process of changing jobs so haven't decided on what I want next - but it's unlikely to be an Audi
Just not feeling the love for anything in the range at the moment - well nothing that I'd be splashing out for given an RS6 is still a dream car and much more than I'd be comfortable spending.
Plenty of time over Christmas to consider what I want to drive next.
So after 3 auidi's on the bounce thats it from me for now. I Will keep an eye on the forums but from Monday the Audi is gone.
All the best
Brasso.
