Audi RS4 Avant

[kingroon]

Okay, I'm looking at buying a motor, since it will be my first one in nearly Four Years, I thought I'd go large..

So..

Have found an Audi RS4 Avant and wanted to hear the opinions of any owners, past and present, of this Beast..

I knw it'll cost a bit of moolah to run but wanted to know about reliability, drive etc. Basically, is it worth the outlay :?: I'm hoping to hang on to this for a fair few years.. Ideally I'd like to not have to buy another car..

The cars are great. It's the drivers that are the problem. <ducks for cover>

do it
do it now
before there banned!!!!!

yes will cost plenty to run (fun aint cheap!!!)
but can be tuned to silly porsche killing numbers and down a b road will make a m3 look silly (unless its got a proper driver in it :shock: :shock: )

top build qualty and subtle too

bit of a package really

From my experience of Audis. (A6 Avant)

Pros:
Well built and made.
Main dealer servicing isn't too bad even on a cam belt change (were the cheapest by about £300)
Excellent handling and ride -firm but comfortable - even the missus A6 is chuckable and handles well for such a large motor.
Decent load space

Cons are:
Thirst (i'd be getting a 2.7 tdi if i were to buy again) 30 mpg on a long motorway journey - high teens around town.
They consume a lot of oil, about a litre every thousand miles - this is normal.

Along with the r8 they are the best car Audi ever made IMO......needless flat bit on steering wheel but that's small change......the best way ever to scare a Labrador!......

Cheers for the responses Amigos

Just spoken to the vending Dealer; it's had 3 Previous Owners [most recent had it for one month and then decided he couldn't afford to run it] and would cost me Half a Bag o' Sand thru Financing a month.. Need to check whether an Insurance Co would even grant me cover [On Street Parking in London].. I have a feeling it might be Financially unviable :roll:

The Financing alone seems a bit steep; £27K cost with £5K Deposit would work out that £22K of Financing would cost me £30K..

£500pcm + Insurance + Fuel + Servicing = £1000+- a month on aggregate..? :cry:

100% agree with that too
in fact looking at the figures maybe you should buy a very nice rs2 now as i cant see them getting any cheaper for good ones
