there will be precious few current model audis that will be classics in future when you consider the kind of prices that audi charges for replacement parts. a pal of mine bougt a nice 56 plate s4 and was quoted anything from £2500-£3000 for replacing the rattly chain tensioners in the v8 engine!!

a prime example is the lovely s8 - you can pick up a nice one for £1200!! what did that cost new?? nobody wants them. what a waste.
