Pincher Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 A4 Avant 3.0 Quattro and it looks very similar to this S4 Avant Please tell me that I shouldn't get it..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sayerbloke Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 It does look like quite a lot of car for the money... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milo Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 Out of those 2, I think the S4 represents better value but I'd have them put the original wheels back on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pincher Posted August 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 Can't stretch to the S4 Milo <font color="#666666">(Actually I could, but I just don't want to spend that sort of money a car) </font> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milo Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 If you could sell the R privately I'm sure you could get 10% off the cash price of the S4 ("times are hard mate, 2nd hand market slow etc" That's £27,995 less £2,800 = £25,200 or say £25k. But that sounds a lot so say £24,995. Now tell Mrs Pincher that it's £24k (forget about the £995, she'll never know) against £18k for the older slower 3.0 Job done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tizzy Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 That S4 is a very high spec. and extremely re-saleable in that colour combo and being the Avant. Not worth more than about £25K though I'd have thought, bet they only paid c. £20 - 21K for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pincher Posted August 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 What about the other one? Is the spec average/OK/good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milo Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 I think it's a bit pricey; the spec is decent but not exceptional. The engine has the smoothness of a V6 but you could argue it has been superceded by the 3.2 It's a lovely car but will be out of manufacturer's warranty soon I'd imagine and if it were my looking at the 2 cars, I would try very hard to convince myself the S4 was the one.

Tizzy Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 I'd have said the spec on the 3.0 litre was average. No sat-nav or xenons - did it have BOSE? and it's one plate older and quite a few more miles. That said it's much cheaper! However, if you drove the S4 you'd want it - badly. I don't imagine mpg is hugely better on the 3.0 although servicing will probably be cheaper! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pincher Posted August 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 Definitely out of the price range I want to spend. The 3.0 is at the very very top - I can't really justify spending any more as I don't do a great amount of miles per year. In fact, I'm almost veering towards downgrading substantially to something quite boring and getting a Westie for some fun (or similar) for about the same money.
