Hi yes they fall but how far? I don't mind taking a smaller hit than the original purchaser they must level out at some point to a much slower value decline. I guess its about where this car will be in 4 years with about 25k on the clock? my guess is 50k ish which means 28 k fall of approx. 7000 a year quite savage
If you can afford it get a Gallardo then. At the right age/price you may not lose a penny. Just factor in your costs. On my first G I actually made money (on the car) when I sold it back to the supplying dealer! I had it 18mths and had put another 8k on it. From memory I got about £3-4k more than I paid for it. Probably just about broke even after servicing etc. Any marque like that is going to take a far less hit than an AudiIt hasn't been taxed since May this year.
Went up for sale (not by Audi) in May for £80k with 17k miles then dropped in down to £75k in July at 19k miles by someone else then in August it went back to 17k miles and back up at £80k by the original seller (autopoint car sales studley green) then found its way to the Audi dealer. Strange.

Some full on foul play here thankfully I didn't end up with this but someone is not being straight on tis. He says the car is a crock I sort of belive that but it will will end up for sale somewhere soon. It must have been used untaxed??Went up for sale (not by Audi) in May for £80k with 17k miles then dropped in down to £75k in July at 19k miles by someone else then in August it went back to 17k miles and back up at £80k by the original seller (autopoint car sales studley green) then found its way to the Audi dealer.

Generally the newer the car, the more "room" it has to depreciate. There aren't many newish cars that go up/hold value so whilst £28k is a big hit, £7k a year on a car that retails at £130k doesn't sound savage to me. Unwelcome but not savage. Sadly no one can say where the car prices will be in a few years - if we did we'll be buying lottery numbers

The 'dealer' Autopoint car sales must've been using it. Strange though as he pretty much doesn't exist except for selling 4 cars on AT which are sub £5k cars.
Noticed the same, my suspicion is it's been a hire car.Trev450 said:

The search goes on deal is off as Audi checked the car and said it was a crock needs 7 k spending on it so they won't sell it on do buyers beware it will pop up somewhere
West London did this to me too on a V8 S5. Called them and got all details. Asked for full walk round of car to gauge condition. They told me it was mint, fully refurbished and no marks whatsoever.sent me a video and it looked good so I drove 150 miles and...................................................it was a dog!
needed prep, alloys were damaged, roof was scratched and interior was tired but all looked ok on a hand held iphone video
I was fuming.
Never again.

Sytner dealership.
I phoned a Sytner garage up north about a sub £50k R8 and after grilling them for 1/2 hour where they used the phrase "it's the best example I've ever seen" I decided to put a deposit down. I purchased a PPI which then revealed many, many issues resulting in me pulling out. The car went back up for sale again before disappearing from Sytner and then appearing a month or two later for sale at another dealer..... with a £4k price increase. My guess is my PPI highlighted a number of issues which they subsequently had fixed and needed to recover costs.However 12 months on from the original PPI, the car is still for sale today - make of that what you will!
