Zip Boing Arial Whoop

Similar sort of spec between the two and (i.e. Sat Nav, leather etc)
RS4 Avant £54K
S4 Avant £42K

£12K is a lot of money---so is it worth it???

Anybody driven both back to back yet??

AudiLover

Yes it is worth that extra money.

Best 4 door executive saloon you can buy.

S4 is gonna be replaced in a couple years anyway.

Zip Boing Arial Whoop

Isn.t the whole A4 range being replaced soon? If so what will happen to the RS4?

stilover

All depends if you want to drive quickly, or VERY quickly.

My old man has a new RS4 and no way would you think "Hm, nice, but I wish I'd just got the S4"

Pumpkin

yep.

If you haven't got the extra 12k, the S4 is a damn fine car, but if you have get the RS4. After all, its only money.

AudiLover

A4 replacement in 2 years S4 replacement in 3 years and RS4 could be replaced in either3.5 years or 5 years time. All depends on how it fits in with the rest of the range. Audi A5 out next year. RS5 is ment to be out a couple months after. Brand new chassis and its the one I would be waiting for now.

I think it is worth it, especially if you look at the residuals now on the current B7 RS4's (and the residuals on the B5 Avant's), they are selling for 10k above list on dealers forecourts!

Also the engine is far far better.

john banks

They are being advertised at 10k above list or selling at 10k above list?

AudiLover

Ive seen one sold for 5k used above the list price.

I nearly forgot 60k will buy you an audi R8 entry level with 450hp out of the RS4's engine.

Contigo

They are being SOLD 10k above list.

Fontains have sold one at 60k and have another arriving v soon which has already gone.

Dealers are kncking their demo cars out above list which imo is very naughty.

Contigo

70k more like from what I hear!

AudiLover

60-65k. Audi are trying to undercut porsche remember.

big MO

hmmmmmmmmmm. That R8 looks like a damn fine car.

lightning101

£5K will be for the LED lights

Karl 227

Aren't they really heavy?

lightning101

There are two models, the Gallardo's 5.0-litre V10, giving 450bhp, as well as the 420bhp V8 found in the RS4.

But the aluminium body should keep the weight down

Karl 227

I meant the led lights, you ******

lightning101

Yer a know

AudiLover

I doubt they will give it a 450hp V10 when theres the 420hp V8 available. It would be pointless as overall the V8 would be the better engine and choice.
