Can any owners give me an idea of running costs over two years?
I'm looking at cars around 2007, likely over 100k miles.

Servicing will be local independent so looks to be about £850 for a major and a minor. Hoping that's tax inc!
It'll prob do around 6k miles per year.
I'd guess it's a high tax bracket £300+ per year?
I've fairly good insurance history so hopefully a fair price.
Understand bar coking and the air suspension these are fairly reliable cars. What sort of money should I budget for additional maintenance for a car of that mileage?

Thanks

Thanks all.

Current thinking an S4 might be a better option.

Slightly less complex and substantially less capital outlay. Not quite as special as the RS but as it'll be a daily/shopping/utility car that's maybe a good thing.

Not many around these parts (York crap for cars) unfortunately. Will nip to JJB at some point and have a chat with them about what to look for.
