Hello folks ,

 

We collected our first Audi on Sunday, being the S1 variant it’s quite a departure from mk4 Fiesta of the past 10years . I’m probably not going to use it now until next year but we are quite excited mixed with a decent helping of apprehension with regards to all the electronic trickery these cars have .

So with that in mind I would like to thank everyone in advance for your time and patience as I will almost definitely be asking the same old same old I’m sure of it . 
 

regards

Good day Wayne.

I am curious why you would buy a car and not use it for five months or more? Your investment is depreciating without any return.

Hello Cliff,

The cars not done a great deal of mileage and I think any low mileage decent example of any sporty car will retain value. RS Fords are probably one of the beast examples. I think Audi S and RS variants will be no different plus running any car through winter doesn’t do them much good in my opinion. What do you reckon ? 
 

I am not convinced any car will hold its value, but I don't follow the market in such things so I claim no real knowledge.

What I do know is that the car will deteriorate over time unless you have the facilities to keep it dry, covered, well ventilated, and charged.

Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch. Sounds a lovely car, it's nice to have something you can use in the nicer months. 

They will hold value to a point, as I get older Ive realised that cars start to lose value as the generation who owned and cared for them are no longer around. There’s good cars around from let’s say the 30s and 40s it’s just know one knows what they are 

Thanks for the welcome Steve
