The value of cars...

[Caractacus]

Or should that be the cost?

Ok, here's the deal...

I sent this link to a female friend,

http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/2012...

and said "what do you think?" My 1st mistakes was made right there...

The comments came back thick and fast thereafter..."you'd spend THAT on a car?" followed by "that's a lot of money for a 2001, Bunty (her 2001 Kia Sportage) is 2001 and I didn't pay anything like that!"

Some time later I was asked if I'd let her drive it...another error was made. I just dont learn! I said yes. After some advanced driving training and the likes (it's scary being a passenger!)...

The conversation went eerily quiet thereafter...

If he wants an RS4 of that vintage, then yes - he will be needing an estate.

I think that to most non-petrol heads, that car would look like any old family estate car.

OR she was thinking "Meh, you could get a newer RS6 4.2 for that money!"

I wouldn't spend that kind of money on an 11 year old Audi estate either.

iconic and rare care (only 500 came to the UK) your going to pay for it

but a good one will hold its price or even start to appreciate a little, especially as the new one is going to be about 65k with the essential options.

they should only be sold to enthusiasts not ditzy women
