That looks great

merlin · 6 Sep 2011 at 13:52

Not for me at that sort of price.

Best of luck with it though.

Gaygle · 6 Sep 2011 at 13:52

What a lovely, interesting car. Congrats

EDIT: Jesus! Almost £10,000?! :eek:

God I love these.

+1million man points and internetz.

Engine bay pics?

I suppose it will hold its value?

No doubt he got a reduction on £9800 but still - there's no way on God's green earth I'd go anywhere near it at anything over £7k.

Scene tax.

I guess these have got enough of a cult following that if it was kept in pristine condition the value could increase in years to come?

£10k! Jesus!

Much as I like that, £10k could have bought soo much better.

I really like it, Only thing that would put me off would be the mileage. Suppose if its been properly maintained it should be ok, it works out about 10k a year which is fine.

That's the only reason I'd buy one too

To each their own though

For me an RS2 is one of those cars I would get if I had a fair amount of cash spare as they are the fast estate to have in my opinion.

Not sure I could have the balls to run one as a daily (not saying you are) as they like throwing up large bills every now and then.

Fantastic car though and hats off to you.

My favourite classic car of all time (bit soon to call it a classic?) Love these to bits. Top purchase there!

Love these really nice car but I wouldnt pay that kind of money for one

People seem to forget that the money he spent on this will easily be back in his pocket when he comes to sell.

This does not apply to someone buying an RS2. If you want an RS2 there is nothing better. A not to be repeated collaboration between Porsche and Audi culminating in a very special car.
I want one.

Antipasti · 6 Sep 2011 at 17:21

Although, for nearly 10k, I would have wanted a better tyre than 'Kenda'.. :-)

Surely that argument is a bit of a non starter? After all you can apply that logic to nearly any purchase, doesn't mean it is then justified.

Its not really is it. If you know you want an RS2, then you disregard what other "better" cars are out there because its a specialist motor, one that any potential buyer would have done his homework on and be passionate about purchasing.
