Some RS 6 resale info

[Benman]

I remember way back (when I used to visit Audiworld) a few years ago, hearing at the audiworld website, how us RS 6 buyers were "chumps" and that it would be much smarter to wait just a couple of years and buy one for $20,000.00 or MORE of retail (in fact, I remember The Brit having to "defend" his posistion.

Well, I was bored on Sunday and since only boring people get bored, I decided just for fun to do an autotrader search to see what's out there.

From Riverside, I did a 300 mile search for ANY price on a RS 6. Here's what came up. Not too shabby if you ask me. :bye2:

If I sold my RS6 (bought at $72,xxx new) to one of these dealers, I might actually make money!

Those prices are all above my buy out number (sum of remaining lease plus residual price).

Keep in mind these prices are for us "uptight yuppies" in So Cal, but I thought I'd post all the same.:D So far, so good.:hahahehe:

Well, by that argument anyone who buys any new car is a chump. I wonder how many of those who were name calling had bought their cars new?

Nice prices. I haven't seen any Canadian cars for sale yet - has anyone else?

I just sold my RS6 and the price was right in line with those prices.

I think the main reason folks like The Brit (and us) were "chumps" is that most of members of audiworld coudn't seem to justify the price difference of the RS 6 vs the A6 4.2 (but have you seen their resales:hahahehe: ) and that it was "just" a hopped up S6 (hardly).

Haven't seen any Canadian RS 6 for sale, so if you come across some prices feel free to keep us posted.

Bilbozilla, guess that means it's a total California thing (not just So Cal:D ).

The autotrader numbers are unrealistic in my opinion ... but I would think these cars have values mid-hi $60's depending mileage. I must, however, admit that the only reason why I bought my RS6 was because in exploring new 4.2's at the time, I found that I could buy the RS6 new for about a $20k premium - frankly, I would not have done so if I had to pay hi $70's or more

Bilbozilla,

What did you relplace it with? Any reason in particular why you sold?

Maserati Quattroporte. I'll post pictures soon. I wanted a change, and I've only got 2 garage stalls. I hope I don't regret the decision... They are two totally different cars, but both are incredibly fun to drive. The steering in the quattroporte feels more focused like a 911 and the car overall feels much smaller than it actually is. I have yet to drive it in automatic mode. I'll give you a call next time I'm in W.C. and let you take a look at it.

On an unrelated note, a husband and wife at the local dealership were arguing about getting a performance car vs. a practical car. The wife threw her arms in desperation and said "OK. Get me something that goes from 0-200 in 3 seconds!" So her husband bought her a scale.

Very nice indeed...I really like the styling of those cars. I have not driven one but I hear they are great cars. I know Robin (Nord) really likes them as well.

Nice joke by the way...I got a good laugh...and if that was not a joke, that guy slept on the couch for a week.

ROFL @ Scale joke.

Josh,

Still got the other car in line? Have you put your order through for it? :thumb:

We are selling our 11k miles Daytona Grey with exhaust, nav and carbon fiber with a 100k Certified warranty for $68,900.

California brings stupid prices! :D

Well... considering our homes sell for 300% the prices of yours, is it so unrealistic that our cars sell for 15% more?:D

That is why I put the smiley face next to it!!:D
Actually our last 2 Certified RS6 and even 1 S8 were sold to people in California.
