2015 RS6 to 2012 FF - Should I?

[R5OHH]

Hi all, looking for some advice really on whether this is a wise move? A lot of this is based on want and possibly some lust!

It would be to replace what is a very nicely specced 2015 RS6 which I've had for about 15 months now. Really super car and my fourth fast Audi and by far a cut above the rest. A few issues like knocking suspension, even after four new shocks and four buckled wheels. Other than that the car is hard to pick faults in.

I have no kids, just to small dogs.. so a slightly practical daily is required. I'm a huge Ferrari fan and do have a 550 and a 355, which aren't going anywhere.

My thoughts are that with prices of FF's pretty low now, I can see them flattening out at the £125 - £140k mark for the earlier cars. Particularly with such a huge void between them and the Lusso now.

I've yet to drive one but cannot think of a more complete all rounder which I'd probably do 8k miles a year in, possibly slightly more. My plan would be to buy from main dealer to benefit from the warranty.

Any thoughts from people who have made the switch?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks MDL111, a great overview.. it certainly seems like there's a huge amount of love for them. Fuel consumption I think I can cope with but I must say the RS is surprisingly frugal on a run.. often drops down to four cylinders so typically 25 + mpg.. which is nice not having to stop so often, especially on continental trips.

Do you cope okay with luggage space?

Ultimately it's a big decision as a quite a jump in terms of outlay and depreciation is always a factor. However I'm quite certain that values will stay strong.. scales of economy, the cheaper they become the more affordable they are so demanding increasing.

Must be a rare colour by the looks of it?
