MattS3 Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 A friends dad is selling his much cherished and loved RS2. I thought I'd post a link here to the advert in case someone was interested in a fantastic example. Audi : Audi RS2 Rare RHD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calm Chris Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Did he have it on PH a while back ? Almost certain I've seen a similar advert and descriptive before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattS3 Posted July 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 (edited) Yep, it was there at the end of March from memory. I guess its a niche market he's appealing too, still pretty handsome performance from a 14 year old car though. It just needs that someone who is looking for a truly cherished example, its been cared for exceptionally well by its current mature owner (55yrs of age+ I believe) Edited July 13, 2009 by MattS3 appalling spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shark_90 Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 I know we don't discuss car values in the marketplace but he needs to come down a bit if he's serious about moving it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy to pass ideas on price back to him, please PM me with a price you think it should be at. He may listen, he may not, but I do know he is not desperate in any way, shape or form to sell it. I think he enjoys it too much to try and rush it away with a low price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torino101 Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Even so - that is stunningly overpriced. I totally appreciate it's rarity and performance, but it is putting it in the firing line of these sorts of cars if you want an estate: Auto Trader UK - MERCEDES-BENZ E CLASS E55 AMG 5DR AUTO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobK Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Don't think you can really compare it to an E55 tbh. The RS2 is not just a fast estate it's more of a motoring legend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mook Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 AMG 55 is like a barge compared to the RS2, despite the AMG having the record at the time for being the fastest production saloon when it came out. Based on the condition of the car, I'd say £13,500 is a sensible starting price. Like Rob says, that's a proper collector's car, so it'll probably take a while to shift.

Torino101 Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 I agree that the AMG 55 is a very different car - my point was only that it was something with a higher original price, with a higher power, acceleration etc. etc. that is nearly 10 years newer and has done under half the miles and for a lower price.... I know that you can't always catagorise cars like this as the S2 has a cult following, but it does highlight that for what the car is, it is definitely overpriced.

It's an RS2 though - mega rare - and I don't think it's over-priced for what it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SINGH Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 Saw a green one parked up in Leamington today, I actully waited around for half an hour for the owner to come. I have never heard an Audi inline 5 before. It looked soo mean. Could this be the car for sale? I was green M608**P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so stunningly overpriced after all. As ever, the right car will sell at the right price. Mook - Bang on, it was indeed a reasonable starting price, and was sold for £5 under £13k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
