Used AWD Porsche? I tried talking myself into it once, saying the AWD is all I need for winter

Date worthy she is!

Ethan, does it have to be a new car or can it be one slightly used.
Maybe an imported RS4 from Europe............I can help you find one.

I would prefer it be used... I hate taking the big initial depreciation hit on new vehicles!

Can you legalize RS4s in the states?!

I can't legalize them, I don't know how. I have seen them in the states so it can be done.
If you want I can help you search for a good one if you like.
PM me.

Maybe wait for the depreciation to hit the RS6s? Faster, and more comfy than a S4

Yeah, but then he has to worry about the legalization issues, etc, plus is the RS4 as fast as a RS6?

Either way nice, cars, i just have a sweet spot for the RS6

I like the RS6s too... A met with a guy about 2 weeks ago who was looking at buying my rover, and he showed up in an RS6! Such a sharp car, but that is A LOT of money right now!

I really do like 993 porsches, but I don't think I could make myself feel right about putting 15-20k a year on it, and driving it in the snow

Perhaps I should just keep the GTi... While there are a lot of other nice cars out there, it seems nothing REALLY catches my eye right now.... At least none of them get me that excited to open up my wallet to the tune of $50k. Plus the GTi is cheap and gets 30 MPG

I tried looking at UK sites for info on the RS4 and they are like $50k US for ones with 70k+ miles!

Thought about it, but RHD and my fast food habits don't mix.

Ethan,

You are looking in the wrong part of europe.
I can help you find a nice 48k km (25k miles?) one for under 50k.
And it would be LHD too (UK has RHD).

PM me if you like, I'll show you the links.
