Hi all new to this posting lark so please bear with me.
I currently have (own outright) a 19 plate C63 cabriolet face lift (non S) with 3000 miles on the clock. Took an 18 plate RS5 with 3600 miles on the clock for a test drive at the weekend and was impressed with its road holding ability compared with C63. Main dealer has offered a straight swap and am in a bit of a dilemma……stick or twist.
Would really appreciate what people would suggest
Any suggestions/opinions would be greatly appreciated
Thanks spin

If you prefer the RS5 then just uncouple the deals.
Take your C63 cab to WBAC or wherever, and use the cash to buy a RS5.

That would probably save you around £10,000 compared to what the dealer's 'deal' is.

About £50k would get you that RS5.
Anyone wanting to buy a 19 C63 cab would need £65+ I'd have thought.

There's easily £10k difference in the values.

Go on WBAC and compare what they would give for both of them.

That's a good way of knowing how much the dealer is taking the mick.

I think there’s an echo on this forum 😂

I found the current RS5 to feel tinny and flimsy compared to previous ones as well... didn't feel like a good long term prospect.

Stick with the C63!

It does stick to the road like s..t to a blanket though. I haven’t enough driving skill to take the 63 sideways round a roundabout laugh
