If you can, SSL suspension makes for a more comfortable and engaging car to drive & be a passenger in - and it's tuneable to your preference. There's a fairly well-used S4 coming up for auction this weekend that if nothing else would give you an idea of what's available & real-world pricing https://bid.humbertellis.com/auctio...WOHl8XsDwVxRA_aem_mdNVSmR8n91sNrf6C7MXqQ

Thanks for the replies guys, some excellent advice.

Thanks for the auction link also, two things struck me, as you say that’s a fairly well used Aero having 45K ish miles on it. I’m sure that will depress the value a fair bit, it’s pretty brutal out there meantime in the used performance car market - I speak from first hand experience - having recently taken a hit a lovely 992T Porsche that I’d owned from new.

These auctioneers do take the proverbial with their charges - 15% buyer premium - I’m clearly in the wrong line of work….
