Hi all you lucky S5 owners.
This is for you UK S5 people.
I have the option of getting my hands on a second hand S5 with pretty much all the options that I wanted on my A5. I refused to get a new S5 because of the depreciation hit and perceived servicing and running costs (and my other half wants £20k for her new car too).
Now I know that the S5 will be in a higher tax bracket, although I hear that the government is considering scrapping the new tax regime. And obviously the car will incur higher fuel bills.
What I mainly wanted to ask, especially those that had a comparable model to the A5 before, is how much higher your running and servicing costs are now please?
In my head, I’m still having trouble convincing myself to go for this S5 until I can nail down whether the perceived operating costs will be that much higher on the S5 than the A5.
