Can I ask how much?

Reason. My old man is just about to sell his. 2006 in Black with 8500 miles on it. He's been told his R8 is due in March/April so want's rid. Got quoted £35k trade in from Audi on saturday.

He's thinking of advertising it at £45k.

Not at all...

I've bought it from Fontain Motors, it was up for £42850 with 9000 miles on the clock.
Taking into consideration the 350z I chopped into them, I would say I got it "roughly" for £42k.
I think I got a very good deal. The motor trade is quiet at the moment. If he knock it out for £45k he should be prepared to take £44k (IMHO)

Cheers mate.

Sound like a very good price you've paid there, given the milage.

A guy living near me has a bright yellow RS4 and when he passes the sound is superb.
One of my 'realistic' dream cars, enjoy

Welcome to the fold

If you don't fancy changing the exhaust system there is a mod that can be done to the OE system which takes 5 minutes & will improve the sound no end - all the princely sum of 50 pence

Thanks for all the replies I'm like a little kid waiting for Christmas to come !!

I forgot to say, an offer of £35k is an absolute insult. He's spending the best part of £90k on an R8...for them to bid £10k less than the car is worth is shocking. Trade price is at least £40k. I think I would be having a word with the manager if it was me.

To answer another question, a new RS4 is the best part of £50k

With any extras at all (and not including ceramic brakes at another £3K) an RS4 is circa £56-57K. (mine was £56,680 in November 2006, now worth only about £43-45K.)

I got the milltek system fitted to mine today. It has caused a serious problem as i can't get out of the car for 5 minutes after pulling up due to nursing a semi from hearing the sound

Very doubtful - the last generation RS4 (theB5/B6) - now nearly 10 years old still goes for around the £20 -25K mark......

Realistically, I can see the Saloons for the very high 30s in 3yrs time, but the Avants came out later, so will be even more.....

All IMHO of course

I looked at a 1000 mile interlagos blue E60 M5 touring with a fair amount of options last week in park lane for.......£55k!

Unfortunately it sold the next morning. Surely it's worth the 10k over the RS4?!!! (assuming you can afford to average 12mpg?)
