The 550 is a good price, but as Gad says after fees etc they don't look that great. Is there VAT to pay on the price, or is that just on the fees ??
only on the fees, unless it's a commercial vehicle iirc

Try the company car tax calculator I think that choice would likely kill you!

Seems that the company car tax is quite frankly makes it hardly worth while unless you will do over 15K miles a year, particulary considering the current lower fuel price and the fact that you could pick a used RS4 up privately for a lot less than a new one.

Costing me over
