It's a version 5 RS by the looks of things, with those kms they tend to command a bit of a premium. I'd say he would have paid around 35k for it, the remainding 5k on the loan probably covered other things? RBs are the more base model (smaller brakes, no strut brace, smaller wheels, slightly less power etc) and they go for 25-32k normally. Jack

17 Grand doesn't even buy you a thumped S6 that needs a rebuild, generally speaking Aus spec S7 would sell for around 30k generally speaking.. RZ would be 70k plus (They only built 175)... Spirit R 45k (more common) maybe? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Right on Jack....it was 35...i took the loan out a bit extra to pay for other ****.. And silver wagz. I took the wing off for a couple of days, I didnt like it. Without a kit and no wing it looses all its agressiveness...kinda looked like a jag, real soft. Next plans are a new front bar without the numberplate holder, vented bonnet, painted calipers, detailed/chromed engine bay and some red recaros. Oh and I have a pretty big system that Im putting in aswell. Rockford T2 12" and rockford Power series 1500WRMS amp.

A rebuild for one of these things with decent performance parts is about the 8K mark, If the seals havnt destroyed the housings that is and that doesnt include any bolt ons or accessories. A decent turbo setup is in the 6K region. So buying one in **** condition, with blown turbos or engines isnt always cheaper or better Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Thats alot of general speaking.. generally speaking jazza, i know what you mean about losing some style when you take the wing off.. i suppose it depends on each car and rims n kit Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
