Audi RS4 Avant

[Spie]

I'm sure you've probably mentioned this before but why is it on UK plates but you live in Switzerland?
Oh and lovely car, looks purposeful and understated!

Much cheaper in the UK and can order LHD. Drive to Switzerland and then register there. Saves around 25%

 

[Spie]

Disappointed you didn't get an RS6....

Car had to be fairly compact. RS6 whilst nice was just a bit too big.

UK registered left hooker? How does that work? (EDIT, already answered). 25% saving, cant argue with that! Does it avoid silly Euro taxes?

This is one of those cars that just ticks all the boxes for a daily car in the ideal world. Near super performance, great practicality and subtle sporty looks without appearing like a flash No swearing. I love it, although not the colour.

I best get my head down and keep working hard! Hah.

 

[Yaayuh!]

The Q7 was a fantastic load carrier and great on the motorway, but in the mountains it was ponderous, as you would expect. Let's not even discuss parking

Had an S3 daily drive for the last 3 years which was so much fun. Like a go-cart in the mountains. Easy to park but tiresome on long motorway journeys and just about OK luggage wise.

I hope the RS4 will be a good compromise. Fast, comfortable and practical. We'll see!

I get the hint that you're an Audi fan?

I'm in the retirement business. I used to own a small PC shop some years ago.

HAHAHAHAHA. This post is as epic as your new car.

Bravo.

Compact? That sounds like an excuse to change the 599 for a 458/FF/F12/whatever they call them now!

Where is your thread about the new F-type you will be purchasing?

 

[EyeDot]

Couldn't get regular finance, so had to go to Wonga

How many BHP is that in the stable now Mark!

I bet you're looking forward to some snow now just to give her a workout!

Swiss car taxes are actually pretty low, it's the list prices that are relatively high. That's historically been the case, but is particularly bad at the moment, due in part to the Swiss franc.

Most of the Swiss people I know would have gotten one from Germany, but that's probably more 'comfort' related than anything else!

Talking about awesome cars, why have we had no dirty porn pics of your car lately?

 

[Django x2]

Surely buying it from Germany is even cheaper

Harder to negotiate if you aren't German!

UK carprices are actually quite low and the Sterling is quite weak at the moment.

Retail price for an RS4 in Germany is €75000. In the UK it's £55000 which is €65000.

Either way, I'm sure Spie knows what he's doing

 

[GeezerButler]

Very nice - love the flared arches. Did you choose the AAA plate to show off your credit rating?

 

[BananaDunka]

Nice to see one specced without all the chrome nonsense

I still want to take some cool pics of your car should you ever wander South of the UK

I think he's busy trying to sell his house.

 

[Ryan-3]

Even I like that Audi

I like the other 20" wheels (5 V-spoke design’ polished Titanium alloys) better, but they're less subtle

 

[matthab]

Very nice, very subtle. The noise from that v8 must be epic.

Nice motor.

When you do the French Pryreness next year, pop over into Andorra via the Pasa De La Casa route...good roads. Cheap fags, booze etc if that's your thing, plus some good ski slopes...
