There you go Cliff, they dont need a £4-5k margin per car, nor clearly incur £2k in prep costs as they suggest.

The trouble with dealers is that they give way below market value to buy your car, then charge top dollar at resale. That's greed in my books. If they gave a fair price for your old car, then sold it on again at realistic market value, we wouldn't deny them a modest profit, would we?

They are the ones that I sold my car to, they gave me a pretty good price considering it was basicly a trade sale ( it just suited us to do it this way at the time) and the car was on their website the next day for £2k more.
There was a small vandal ding in the door, the sidesteps were pretty shagged from offroading and there was a stain on the rear seat and carpet and the service was nearly due. I think it sold pretty quickly.

The Audi dealer did at first offer me £41k as per Glasses guide but Stratstones came in £2-3k lower.

To be honest i shall keep the RRS until it is 12 months old and see where to go from there.

p.s. I wasn't thinking of part exing at that price but the dealer insisted on giving a quote, i always sell private.

p.p.s The RS4 was 13months old, saloon, sprint blue, satnav/tv and 11k miles for £45,995 2014 Nara Bronze SDV6
