This is exactly the car i have been looking for for the past year, and when I do find one, cashflow is too tight to justify buying it. GAY. But damn I really really want to say screw it and go for it. Wife would absolutely kill me and so would the accountant.

wait a couple of years and you will be able to buy the same car for 50k

Alternatively, you could drop a few accessories. Like the seats. And the carpet, steering wheel, rims, doors and so on. After that I think it might be affordable.

Yeah but it is also 60-70k cheaper and much less costly to maintain than the RS6 with its Lamborghini developed engine. The RS6 goes like a supercar but costs every bit what a supercar does to maintain.

I'd say "get a Subaru", same car but half the price.

But of course I'd be Bull Shitting you.

Best to avoid temptation by not looking until you are ready

You can pick up higher mileage units from 2006 for $60k or so at the moment. My neighbour was willing to pass his one with 101,000kms off for a circa $60k offer. However, I want either a white or black Avant with no more than 40,000kms and either the Ibis white or black optics option kit. Those draw a premium, but I figure if I am (eventually) going to sink that sort of coin into a cage, then I am going to keep it for a while and there is no point compromising too much.
That said, gotta get the money coming in a bit faster before I can chuck this sort of money into a car. Damn recession.

The good thing is it is a wagon, so will it have enough room for your furniture etc. You could always live in it.

Hmm...water bed in the back of an RS4...now there's an idea. Don't think the seat fold down though and bucket seats are not the greatest to sleep in...tried it in my S4 that is now no longer with us.
