Can't believe the drop in prices of the IS-F (and M3s, etc too) at this rate they'll be in the 20s in 2 years time which will make it the perfect time and price for me to buy one

They will drop - no question. No one wants cars like this now - except the very rich...

Apparently super mini sales are booming in the UK...which is no surprise.

A friend of mine has just bought my dream car - an Audi Rs4 from Auction for only £23450 (Finance Repo). OK - it's done 40,000 miles, but it's still under manufacturers warranty (12 months I think) and is fully loaded. Lucky !!! I ain't jealous at all!!!!!!

He'll be coming over this weekend...

I ain't jealous at all
I ain't jealous at all
I ain't jealous at all
I ain't jealous at all

OOOooom....!

Are you serious? That is fantastic value for money, is it in good condition otherwise?

In some ways I hope this continues so I can buy one of these machines in 2 years time for ordinary car money

I haven't seen it yet - it's black and he did mention that it needed some polish as it was swirled badly and had a small dent on one door (like a ding). It apparently looked like it had been standing in a field. It was washed, but the front lower valance still had hay, mud and grass (might have been chased by police camera action across a field in Sheffield) and the interior wasn't very clean at all...probably hidden on some farm to stop the baliff's...

Dunno which auction he bought it from, but he said there was half the normal crowd there - looks like the motortrade are battening down the hatches! He also wasn't sure if it had a FSH or not - but at that price he didn't care too much! Might affect the warranty I suppose which is why there was no reserve. He's chuffed anyway! He has a body shop. Might have been a stolen recovered at that price, but I don't know...I'll call him and ask...

EDIT - Just rang him - confirmed it was finance reposession but also an import (is out of warranty - no wonder it's cheap) though does have a FvagSH. He collected it on Friday, and loves it. He's thinking of detailing it, removing the ding and keeping it for his own...can't blame him.

Back to topic though - I really do think that Jan/Feb time will see performace cars hit bottom deck!

Market value for an RS4 seems to be in the early 30s, so early 20s for a car that's slightly dirty and an import is a bargain! Yep definitely a great car to keep, or potentially even clean up and sell on for a tidy profit...........definitely a good buy

I jut looked at Autotrader - can't believe how cheap a 55 plate new shape M5 can be had for - less than £30k! Blast - I wish I'd checked! For the same money as my 525d, I could have had 500+bhp....

And with reasonable miles...so like I say - all these "Q" cars are gonna fall like a lead balloon....

It's a buyers markt totally now - if you can do it, now is the time...

Cealer price for the IS-f is £45k so should be a lot cheaper if you haggle especialy as it's white
