Stolen

[E.L.M.O]

I wouldnt buy one off pistonheads or ebay, as mentioned by someone else and already decided by me I would ONLY buy one of a well respected forum member who was looking for a change from their pride and joy. I want one, but there is no rush and not in te position this very second.

To give you an example, this is exactly the sort of thing i would have been after. They only thing I would have dont would have been possibly a vinyl wrap (as it doesnt damage the paint and I can go as cutom as i like, then back to standard if and when i wanted to) and maybe some interior changes (nothing drastic) I also wonder how one of these would look on 20" final edition wheels....? (with it slammed as low as I could get it without compromising the handling, a harsh ride is something I CAN live with though)

Most will have done 100k plus by now. If its been well looked after, im not fazed by mileage providing the engine has been well serviced and well looked after. (trim can always be reconditioned)

Jeez, I go away for a few days and all hell is let loose. Sadly I doubt the car will be found in one piece and the insurance company will try and screw you, just don't accept the first offer, or the second

agreed!
in all honesty, i dont want the 8 back now. ive moved on and am ready for something different. I think the RS2 is exactly what im looking for and the perfect motor for the situation im now in (getting such crazy car is pretty much a f u to the misses. I said I would get a more sensible car hen we got married, were not getting married so then im gonna go the other way!)

Nick Johnson is well regarded in most Audi circles - if it's been maintained by mrc then Doug should be able too advise on how good an example it is

A lot of people selling cars don't want the hassle of dealing privately, especially if their old car value is way below what they're paying out for

RS2 is nice.. or look at something like an Octavia vRS (or one of the Audi 1.8T variants), they can be tuned up to stupid levels of power

i was just showing that thread and car as an example of the sort of car I would be after if I do go ahead and buy one.

Not really looking for suggestions, was pretty much just saying that I think I am going down the RS2 route! The Octavia VRS and Turbo'ed Audis are nice, but a car has to call out to me, and the RS2 has. Its not just about the stupid atats this car puts out (4.8 second 0-60 and restricted 163mph top speed) but the lines of the RS2 Avant and the interior space just make me want it.

I was meerly anouncing my intentions to start seriously concidering going about getting my hands on one, and asking what people here thought about them

Octavia VRS isn't mad, in fact. It's sensible, I'm sure they are front wheel drive four pots...?

Get an RS2, the last Audi event I went to, they had brand new S5s/S4s and all sorts there, I couldn't care less about them, I spent 15 mins looking over the RS2, I too want an RS2, badly. It is one of my dream cars, and I will own an RS2 one day.

Here are some photos I took of the above mentioned car

Stats are quite impressive on the RS2 anyway, off the top of my head 315 BHP, 0-60 in 4.8 seconds. Have a read of this article that Pistonheads done on the RS2 recently. http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/news/de...?storyId=18810

Found it funny that when the RS 2 came out, Audi out out an advert with a bloke getting out of one and the caption 'my other cars a Porsche, but today I was in a hurry'.

[E.L.M.O]

Stunning pictures Amar! And if you want one.... then It actually pretty much makes my mind up that it is the car I should get!

Yup those stats are right, and with a restricted 163mph top speed. (Wonder what it would do without the restricter)

If I do get one, id concider having it as an investment (like the pick up) everything I did to it would be easily reverseble. Id remodel the dash for example, but would have a spare to use if it want to go back to standard, id like a larger front bumper, again keeping the original. Id also go for a viyal wrap (and once again, so the wrap could come off and go back to the orignal undamaged paint)

So, thoughts of an RS2 lowered and on D3 20" Final Edition alloys?
