    so I'm selling my vRS ..

    time to sell the vRS, but looks like dealers are pushing down the market price in their rush to dump 2013 stock

    .. wondering if I should wait a few months before selling my MY12 with 50k km ??

    Hard to say, after seeing an Elegance in the flesh they will sell more of those arguably than the old RS stock. Will have to wait and see what the RS is priced at. Seeing as you are calling it a MY12, I'm guessing it's a 2011 with an expired warranty coming soon? Will always be worth that bit more with warranty intact. Selling it before the new RS is out would be a good move as that will only age the car more. And that could happen anyday (stock around is another thing though).

    Put the original brakes back onto the car and sell the BBK separately in order to get some $ back

    looking fwd to the For Sale thread (of the parts).

    Can post a heads up in this thread when you do please.

    What terribly low prices are the dealers selling for? Maybe Skodas simply have terrible resale just as everyone predicted?

    ok sorry if I got anyone excited over KW's and/or BBK, but ....

    after comparing the lease payout and resale, looks like I stand to lose a similar amount over 12 months if I keep her for track use, plus consumables will be juuust a lil bit cheaper than RS4 equivalents also. Basically I won't have to take a $10-12k hit now by paying out lease minus resale value.

    so she's a keeper for another year or so ... and I get to use a cheap track car, wooot!!
