Just done a deal with our local Audi dealer (Robinsons of Norwich) to part ex the wife's 2011 TT RS Roadster for a 2015 Sepang Blue Roadster S. To say she's excited is an understatement. The only sting in the tail (you guessed if) the offer for her immaculate low miles RS. Theres no money to be had off the new car as its a brand new model so they obviously don't feel the need to discount it just yet. And they won't move from the 20 grand offer for her RS. I've had a look on the classified section on here and it would appear her TT RS Roadster is a bit of a rare beast. Looking at the coupe version, same year roughly the same mileage we should be looking at around the 27-28k mark. my idea is try to sell it private for somewhere near the 27k mark then buy something like a 5k mini or fiat 500 for her to use as a fill in until the new TTS is delivered in July/August. then all we'd have to do is sell the fill in car and try to re-coupe as much of the original 5K as possible. That way, all being well we should be 6-7k better off than the Audi deal.
Well thats my idea, what do you think my best option would be. I have to be honest I'd rather have a kick in the nuts than hand the RS over for 20k. what should i sell it for and what cheap run about would be a safe bet to be reliable for the 4 or 5 months she'd need to run it, and then be easy enough to sell on when its not needed any more.

Any feedback will be gratefully received.
All the best.
