Default Resale value...I didn't want to get a new car in the last line of a model series...

but the b5 A4 is seriously what drew me to the Audi brand in the first place. To me, it is the original Audi..(i'm young)..

With that being said, I'm wondering what the...*B7*? Audi is going to look like =P

Default Why i didnt get the B5

I was quite Audi incompetent when i started looking. My previous car was a 97 M3. I was told by my dealer that S4's were hard to come by and i would probally never find what i wanted. Later after allready buying a 2k2 i found audiworld and found out that S4's are pretty common if you look hard enough. If i had that information i would have most likly bought a 2k1 S4. I didnt want a 01- A4 because i couldnt find what i wanted anywhere, no sticks, no sports, pretty much nothing i wanted. No good color combo's etc..

Default I wanted a B5, but my wife was having a COW about getting a used ....

I got the B6 to make her happy. Now I am very happy with that decision!

Default Sit and drive in a B6 A4 for a while and you'll see the value

I had a B5 and I still love the B5. It's funny how some people sort of rag on the B6 but don't realize how nice of a car it really is. I was B5 brainwashed for a while (still am), but when I seriously considered buying a B6 and sat in one, it became evident of the class and sport. I think I've read of B5'ers driving a B6 loaner for a few days and realizing of how smooth the car is. Anyways, I also think there's a pretty significant difference b/w the early B5s and late b5s.
If I had to do it over again, b/w new B5 or new B6, i'd take the B6 all over again - it's solid.
