2007 56 rs4 valuation

[phib]

I have a friend who is looking to part ex his 2007 56 plate Audi rs4, done 77k average condition full Audi service history. Black with black.

He has been offered 14k as trade in which seems a little low / or might be spot on, can someone in the trade let me know what the book price on it would be ?

He is not a car guy

Thanks

Surely 56 means the car was first registered in 2006, meaning it's 5 years old instead of 4?

However, wouldn't a quick browse in the classifieds at similar age/mileage cars answer this for you?

It can be registered in 2007 and be a 56 plate...

Sounds about right to me, they'd probably sell it for 18

Needs to be in the Audi forum.

He must have some interest, that quite a motor for someone not into cars.

Seems a bit harsh but a big petrol engine at a quiet time with a book drop around the corner (did £625 last month). Mileage hits it hard too...

Incredible. No interest in cars, wants the best 'small' estate and ends up with an RS4?

Dealer must have been laughing his head off??!

Lives in a different world "financially" to most of us probably less than a weeks salary for him.

Agreed quiet time of the year to be selling + big engine, it's the same for us M// owners

I'd love a RS4 Avant but aren't the running costs much higher than a equalivant M//???

Blimey, that is a LOT of car for £14k.

So much so that I'm genuinely considering PM'ing you.

But anyway, I've moved it here to the Audi forum, there's a few more knowledgable Audi-specific chaps in here that will help a bit more perhaps

[TonyHetherington]

Looking in the classifieds, you can't seem to get much for less than £20k !?

My boss has got a 56 plate RS4 for sale with 80,000 miles on the clock - he wanted to test the water at £20,450. All he got was traders offering him £15-17,500 'cash'.

I told him to take the £17,500 but he didn't. It's still for sale.....

[phib]

It doesent seem like a great offer it is pretty average condition though so I suspect there is 2/3 k to make it smart again

Thanks

If it's got full service history and nothing majoir that needs doing, I would have thought it would be a very easy private sale at £17k

Refurb wheels, new brakes and tyres I assume if they're needed, maybe the odd scratch touch up and tax I guess £2k comes quite easily, but indeed - it does sound quite low.

You'd think that but miley/scruffy RS4s don't sell at all well in my experience. They're massively sensitive to condition, mileage and colour.

[phib]

It has gone coming ton an auction house near you soon !!!

Part exed against a new rs6 god knows how long it will take him to trash that one, I give it two weeks

Not really kicking him too hard with a low bid then.
