My Boxster, an 02 with 15K miles, would sell for the high 20s on a Porsche lot with CPO. That means I'd be lucky to get 25K trade in on a car that 3 years ago stickered for 51K. Plus, Porsche North America is offering 2.9% financing right now on used Boxsters, something that PCNA has almost never done historically. Cayennes also have pretty steep depreciation curves.

Outside of AMG models, Mercedes is in the same boat.

While special to you an A4 1.8T with high mileage is nothing special as a used car and like anything else, is only worth what someone will pay for it.

per class. 330 vs a4 3.0. a6 4.2 vs 540 vs e500. mbz and bmw cost upwards to 10k more

Audis cost less to start with, don't have great residuals, don't have the bestest reputation in the market, I doubt if NC is a hot Audi market, ALL used cars are taking it in the shorts thanks to leasing and CPO.

I don't think that price for a 4 year old car is so bad these days. What's your basis for comparison? Have you recently owned a Merc or BMW?

friend sold his 01 s4 tip with 52k miles for 21k and got an M3. while my other friend sold his 98 M3 coupe with 80k miles for 19. no experience first hand with MBZ but the prices i see here in socal, c, e, s class all sell higher than a4, 6, and 8

But those cars all started out at $4000 to $10,000 more than a similar Audi when new........

LCP

Seems 'bout right to me for that car.

That's about right. I wouldn't quibble too much within a grand of asking, just get rid of it.

It's both a benefit and a burden. You'd be a certifiable nut to buy or lease a new Audi. But oh f'Chrissake the used prices are so sweet: last year, we purchased a 2003 4.2 Sport -- a lessee had turned in his lease early or something -- with I believe every single solitary option that you can get, and 18K miles on the clock, in absolutely perfect shape, for $33K. It had been in service for 12 months and the sticker price was $58.5K!!!! It has run fine but at 24K needed new tires. That's it.

That's simply ridiculous.
