rjgreen4 Posted April 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 2 days out of the seven I drive the car like it should be driven. Don't see any point as most of the journeys are motorways and there is too much wind noise to appreciate the v8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 Yes private sale would be better - mine will be up for sale shortly with it being available mid June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlot Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 Your's is the B7 S4 Cab isn't it? If so then about £34k would be my guess for a px price today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UBM Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 You're gonna lose a fair bit RJ - you seem to have caught the TSN swap car bug. Luckily I've overcome that illness - I hope... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_G Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 Keep the cab, add a full system Milltek, have a remap done and better brakes and you have a comparable car but £15K in your pocket. I'll still maintain I'm not convinced the RS4 from an S4 owners point of view is worth the extra money, especially if you have a modified S4.

UBM Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 Wise words PG - but there is nothing quite like the RS4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will22 Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 Except an S4 with a supercharger, only £8k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_G Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 Mmmm, supercharger, more ponies and torques than an RS4 and £7K in your pocket! UBM, the RS4 is a nice car and it has taken me two test drives to discount it, the reasons being; i/ Having big heavy bones the RS4 Recaro's don't fit as snuggly as my S4 ones ii/ The RS4 Recaro's are bigger than the S4 ones so if A/S4 drivers think thay have poor rear leg room now, ther ain't any in the RS4 irrespective of what Audi say in that the seat are the same dimensions iii/ Wot no alloy spare wheel? iv/ It doesn't sound any better IMO than my full s/s exhaust system or perhaps even a Milltek v/ I can live without a starter button vi / Wot no alloy spare wheel? RJ, if you haven't already test drive one, the come to an NE meet and have a drive in mine and then see if you think there is £15K of difference. I don't but you might. If it's an RS4 cab you are thinking of getting, make that £20K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tizzy Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 I've come to the conclusion that I will seriously consider an RS4 - but - probably not new, as it just doesn't feel like £55K's worth. The main reason I think it's better than the S4 is handling - the rear biased Quattro made a very noticeable difference & it just didn't feel front end heavy like my S4 does. The sound on the Sport setting is louder than my (cat back) Millteks. I totally agree about the bucket seats, I'd have the normal Recaro's every time. It's going to be interesting to see what effect depreciation has on the saloon with there being Avant and Cab versions this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fully speced up S4 cab is over £45k - the RS is £60k. Still works out at £15k to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daz Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 Nope RS4 cab comes pretty much loaded - there isn't much you can add to it. DVD SatNav and CD changer are standard for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_G Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 News to me, accoring to our local dealer you have to order technology pack similar to that on the saloon on the RS4 cab. Hence why I quoted nearer £20K when you take into account S4 Cab discounts as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 Nope - RS4 Cab comes standard with DVD Sat Nav and CD changer - there is no technology pack for the Cab. See the latest brochure for full details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 Here's what I've ordered. Phantom Black with black interior and black hood. Cabriolet Sports seats - Silk Nappa leather, black with silver piping. Matt Aluminium inlay TV reception Adaptive headlights Auto-dimming rear view mirror, with light and rain sensors Door-mirrors – auto-dimming and folding Works out to be about £61k.

P_G Posted April 29, 2006 Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 That's not the brochure I was shown, I do wonder what guff dealers give sometimes. £61K for a car for me is still a lot of money though, couldn't justify it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz Posted April 29, 2006 Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 That brochure only came out this week in .pdf format for the dealers and has not been printed up yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
