Vehicle is rights around the corner from me, if anyone wants me to take a look...

Yeah, check the trunk for the gold bars that must come with the car.

[JSRS6]

It does have a warranty...

[ben916]

The rims are made of gold and plated with Platinum...

Seller asking $22.9k with 100k miles .. why is that so unreasonable? What should it be? I think we should focus on supporting the values of our RS6's, not trashing them on our own website. End of rant.

Thank you for having the stones to post that.

...because I could not get that $$ on trade in from my own damn dealer 3 years ago with 65K on the car. end of new rant.

Trade-in is WAY different than a private sale. Invalid rant...

No $hit, (point was how long ago that was the case) but its part of the problem as you have no choice but to private sell this thing. Its valid just not in the line of this post except to say that at auction that car would be at best $15K. Car trades in at 15K or 16K but dealer will turn it around still at 23 or 24. They are not giving fair trade-ins, nor ever have, but will treat the car special once they want to turn and sell it at a bigger margin than most used cars. If it was ever within 4 or 5 K of the actual retail or private sale price my car would have been looooong gone. I prefer a decent trade in for not dealing with the hassle (horrifying letting anyone test drive this thing having tried to sell once...scary as it gets when people do not understand the power this thing has) and at this level saving significantly on the sales tax of a new car which is huge for me (sales tax over 9% so do the math on a $70K plus car).

[ttboost]

Yup..it's a shame. That's why I waited for the right car for the right money and plan to keep it until....

[SAF]

Yeah I hope he gets $25k! The negative talk on a forum that potential new owners may be reading is kind of counter productive.

Hell mine's worth $30k with 97000 miles even if the market doesn't agree.

[DHall1]

Oh geez,

Sorry to start off the firestorm. I looked at the ad again and it sounds like the warranty can be had with the car for an extra price.

So, 23k for a 100k car and pay more for the warranty.

Sorry, there are better deals to be had. The doc just sold his 50k car in excellent condition for 26k.

These are just numbers. I cant say this car is not worth 23k but I can say that I would not pay that amount when other choices are for the taking.

The gold bar phrase was just a joke. No personal thrashing of that owner.

Agreed, I will keep my comments to myself...

Sales tax? Try ~9.5% in AZ.

Ask me if I have paid sales tax on any car in the last 10 years? Motorhome?

0 zip nada.

I will never pay sales tax on any vehicle purchase ever again. Never never never.

End rant. I think it was Skribe that said go to WI and license your car. Less fees and lower taxes. Or start a LLC in Montana. No tax.

10.25 in the city...but can just pay the county 9 something and ignore the city additional tax. My managing partner does the Wisconsin thing but has an address there to use. Looking at getting an R8 next year so need to figure something out.

[DHall1]

Check with your CPA first...

Montana LLC

Set it up for consulting work in your field.

Done.

Trust me, IL is in deep do do and there will be no end to the fees and taxes piled on the poor folks. Hell, IL cant pay the bills now and its not getting any better. Bond ratings are dropping and the s will hit the fan very soon.
