How much does spec level and LHD affect value?

[RacingTeatray]

How much less is a second-hand Audi worth than normal in the UK if it is left-hand drive?

Conversely how much more is a second-hand Audi generally worth over a standard-spec model if it had literally the entire options list chucked at it when it was new?

Car in question is an Allroad.

All thoughts welcome!

Dont know about spec level, but I would suggest that the LHD issue is determined by the number of RHD examples about. Consider also the issues when selling on. Do you want to be stuck with a LHD car that you cant shift because there is a good enough supply of RHD ones?

Well I am considering the resale value - that's part of the reason of asking. I can get the car for, judging from what's being advertised, for around a GBP5-6k discount on a similar age/mileage/spec RHD example. I just wanted to know if that kind of a difference was par for the course or whether the car would actually have a value greater than what I can get it for.

Likely to get lower resale value as demand for LHD allroads in UK isn't great. However ... I'm kinda interested in a LHD allroad ... where you sourcing the car?

It's my father's old company car and as it's three years old, he's due for a new one, so he has an RS4 Avant arriving next month. However, upon enquiry, Volkswagen's Italian leasing arm are prepared to sell the Allroad to him very cheaply and with a year's warranty. Apparently there is very limited market demand for non-diesel Allroads in Italy hence the bargain price.
