but don't be silly, I was having a unbelivable blonde moment and totally forgot about internet ordering

my only concern now is getting down the stairs to open the door

I might have a length of rope from some sex games in the cupboard, reckon the deliverance guy would mind tying the bag to that and allowing me to hoist it up?

failing that I'm scuppered, literally if I stand up I faint, you would laugh so much I have to crawl to the toilet

I work away which means i work all the time, allll the time not 9 to 5 5days a week.

What a waste of a £30k car.

btw, why did you lie about your age?

Going from a knackered Mondeo to a house *and* a £30k RS4 is bound to raise eyebrows. Even more so when it's combined with the fact you either forgot how old you were or just plain lied about it.

Ok questionning aside, do you really have any idea of what sort of running costs a car like the RS4 has ?

What do you project you'll need per year ?

I can see why you've called yourself MrLOL.

OP: Get that M3

DM · 7 Jan 2011 at 19:22

is my age right on here im 44?

I was going to stick on 42 for 2 years so it might be wrong

But dont lie about your age on the insurance application, that won't go down as well as it did here

My friend had a BMW M3 and it was nice but I have always been put off them for some reason.

The RS4 in my eyes is the one or at least at the moment, like i said im going to test drive when i can.

And 30k is a lot for a car BUT... If i work hard then when i rest ill want to drive a nice car. No point working my balls out to keep it in the bank ay.

RS4 for me at the moment, any other takers.

thanks for replys too.

£30k for 3000 miles is crazy. So it's basically an ornament for your driveway.

As that is the case I'll offer a different car - F355.
Given the mileage running costs should be limited (as they can be at least!).

On the subject of low mileage, this is worth a read:

http://www.evo.co.uk/buying/buyingguide/245446/audi_rs4.html

Engine
As befits a car with an engine built to near-racing standards, an RS4 is happiest when used regularly and vigorously. Otherwise the valving in the crankcase ventilation system tends to let oil accumulate in the inlet tract, which leads to blue smoke on start-up and a build-up of carbon around the inlet valves. Some oil consumption is normal.

The RS4 can suffer occasional coil-pack failure, so beware of misfires. The engine management warning light should alert the driver to this but doesn’t always do so, and the unburnt fuel from the resultant misfire soon destroys the catalysts, of which there are two.

The actuators for the exhaust bypass valves can seize up so check you get the right rush of sound in Sport mode.

Buy mine and I will do you a proppa deal

DM · 7 Jan 2011 at 19:39

i suggested that, i dont even want commission

Fr0dders · 7 Jan 2011 at 19:40

what are the servicing & running costs like on the RS4 Housey ?

Brake Parts, Tyres, Services etc. ?

Will Gill · 7 Jan 2011 at 19:44

f355 is an awful suggestion if the OP travels and leaves his cars standing for long periods of time, ferraris have to be right up there with the worst possible cars to leave standing, the 360 we had was left for 4 months and the engine totally seized, whilst I was in maranello there was a guy with a 355 with exactly the same problem, then the service guy went on and on about their inability to be left alone for long periods of time.

Was one of the reasons I had the fez so much after that, I was actually saving my company money by driving it......ah yes you should have seen the spin selling job I did pushing that story!

DM · 7 Jan 2011 at 19:46

bad gearbox, uncomfy seats hard to get in and out of

you tell me what sort of auto rolls back on hills? hmmm tell me that

Morba · 7 Jan 2011 at 19:47

oh yes, the "auto" gearbox is a modern day wonder of utter awfulness, also never drive one around town, ever.

Looking at it another way on just the cost of the car and assuming he does exactly 3k miles a year, he'll be paying £10 a mile. :eek:

edit: I know there are other factors in this, just trying to give some perspective

DM · 7 Jan 2011 at 19:53

your maths is worse than mine, hes bound to get something back when he sells

Morba · 7 Jan 2011 at 19:56

He'd not lose anything I bet, but still.

A better option them: sign up to one of those super car companies and get whatever car you want when you actually want something nice.
