So I still have my lovely (bit biased) S4 B7. N/A 4.2 V8. One of the last built, running on an '08 UK plate. Well spec'd cabriolet, bought from Audi dealer in 2012 with 30K on the clock, but enjoyed a lot and now running 132K on the clock. Chains all done by Keith and the excellent Dialynx team. Internet tells me this car is worth £6-7K. Surely old school cars with proper engines are worth more than this...

Not far off 20 years old. At that mileage things will be getting baggy. I'd snap someone's hand off if they offered £8k for it.

I'd say neither, by virtue of their simply being very niche.

They have a certain appeal, but can't see their every going up in value beyond perhaps a minty low-miles, low-owners car.

Boss has a near-flawless 2007 Cab in sprint blue as his summer car. 24k miles. Might such a thing make high-teens? 20k? Don't know.

I know Seymour Pope only just took a deposit on a yellow Avant with 37k miles at £16,000.

That's rather fine. https://www.seymourpope.com/vehicle-details/used-a...

The apparent wear on the ESP button is a little disconcerting!

That is rather lovely.
The buttons will be the rubberised covering on them degrading with age.
