$42,000 trade in?

[mmaturo]

I disagree completely. In the chicago market anyway the highest trade in offer i got a YEAR and a half ago was $43K on my very clean 45K miles car at that time. Most offers and one from my Audi dealer of choice were in the high $30s. Right now i would expect no offers over about $33K for my same now 61K miles car. I could not sell the car now for $44K which i owe. I am not seeing the demand around my area that the rest of you are I guess. I have seen several Rs6s go below $49K too. I think you are nuts if you think it will go for over 50 in trade. Not going to happen. A year ago for a 25K car yes. Those people advertising Rs6s at a higher price point are not selling them anywhere near that.

mmaturo,

I can't speak for everyone else, but my comments are based off of the original post dated over two years ago. And at time, yes, $42K was ridiculously low. Now though, $42K is what you're lucky to get.

I was looking at a green rs4 and the colour really put me of but thats just personal taste, so the dealer may have knoked the pice down because if the dealer but remeber dealers have to put a mark up profit on cars and they have teh possibility fo not selling teh car buts still i reckon that your car has been sriously undervaleud and a personal sale is teh best option as it is with most vehilces

Me too!!!

rs4s are still crazy overpriced.

[christofrs4]

true, the rs4 i was looking at was a uk 2000 with 66 thousand miles no satnav full leather and had warped disc brakes that they fixed after i had a bit of a hissy fit about them, reduced form 20 grand to 17600.

due to the overopriced nature of rs4's and my love of them im possibly buying an accident damaged one and reparing it, shoudl hopefully save me sum cash

[cornishmoocher]

$100000 for a used RS4 duck, c'mon man that aint over priced, thats insane- we over here have a saying- at least Dick Turpin had the decency to wear a mask before he robbed you!

[DuckWingDuck]

ROFL, for sure, I was just trying to be a bit more diplomatic!!

[nyrs6]

When i first read the post i was like, what are the board members smoking? Untill i looked at the date lol

[R1]

this is a nice post to revive

pricing discussion - depreciation - appreciation - etc

of RS6s from 06 to 08 - now compare it to 2009 pricing scales

[mmaturo]

Depressing as hell. Now my car would trade in under 20K and can only sell it for maybe 22-23K (great condition at 78K miles, no warranty). I can eek out a little bit more if I sell my RNSE and OEM ti 19" 5 spokes separately.

true - that's how bad our economy now is ---

hmn Dave time to chime in

No mo money.

No mo money in the treasury.

No mo money in the Fed.

No mo money in my bank.

No mo money in my pocket.

No mo loans from the bank because there is no mo money in the Fed.

No mo buyers in the market because the government owns everything. 96% of all mortgages are wrapped up in FNM, FRE, FHA. And defaults are eating up the system from the inside.

No mo money.

Low 20's. But I have Dave to thank for trash talking it to death prior to me buying it.
