US Market Value

[ACnNC]

Be gentle, I'm new here...

I'm in the market for a 2003 RS6. I'm willing to search nationwide for the right car, but have found a LARGE spread in asking prices. Does anyone have a sense for what price decent "above average" cars are actually trading hands?

I think it's an INCREDIBLE car, but is approaching nearly 5 years old... $60k seems steep to me.

Any further counsel for a potential first time owner would be appreciated!

Thanks.

I just purchased one in July for a little over $60k from a dealer CPO but it exceeded all my criteria so I didn't negotiate too hard. It was an '03 sold in '04 so it still has a year of factory and an additional couple of years extended left. Best of all, it only had 5600 miles on it!

Yes, $60K should buy you an EXCEPTIONAL car! I just purchased an RS6 in June and am very happy with it. I spent $47K for a CPO w/29,000 miles. If you have a budget of $50k, you should find plenty of good cars to choose from.

Here's a thread that has more info:

Good Luck!

I paid $47K for mine as well (37K miles one it, '04 delivery date so another year on the CPO). I didn't negotiate too hard because I couldn't stop laughing during the test drive. any kind of negotiation would have been futile, the guy knew the car sold itself.

There is a black CPO'd RS6 w/ Sound Enhancing Exhaust for $52,900 near my house. It is Black over Grey.

My buyout is going to be $36,000 this December, with about 58,000 miles on it....

They quoted $3600 for a four year/48,000 mile add on warrantee which begins as of the day I buy the warrantee. This is unlike the first extended warrantee I bought last year which ended up starting as of January of the Model year D'ooh, friggen small print, so that extended warrantee only bought me extra mileage since I am over the warrantee mileage.

This way I end up with a car for $39600 with 4 years/48000 miles coverage.

That buy out price is dead on it seems for what I am seeing...guess the finance people do guess well at lease inception. Huge depreciation lately. Anyone with $43K can have my 52K mile CPO'D car.
