Bump it and I'll answer it.
(did you see the RS4 loose it clip yet 
)
What . . . where . . .

Would love to get the RS4 but with the kind of short town trip I do it just wouldnt be economical enough... esp in these tough times :embarassed:
I think you'd be very surprised. The RS4 is surprisingly fuel efficient, considering its weight and its V8 lump. The FSI system really does give noticeable improvements over the V8 S4 (which has the same basic engine). I was able to get 32mpg out of mine a few months back, when the fuel prices were skywards.
And with the current economical climate, residuals on big cars with big petrol engines really have taken a major hit - even RS4s. You could pick up a two year old for late £25s - cheaper than a new R32. A buyers market mean peeps just arn't going for big cars - and my local stealer has a new RS6 avant on their fourcourt for about 8 months unsold - a V10 twin turbo RS6, and they just can't shift it. Pointless trying to make any kind of offer on new RS's though - Audi UK would rather have them collecting dust (and bird sh!t) rather than discounting any RS models. 2nd hand RS's are a different matter though - offer £2½k less than screen price, and most stealers would take it. It is not being able to shift stocks of big cars that are driving many stealers to the wall.
Unless you want to give me yours
