Default Anyone close to Continental Audi of Naperville?

They have a 2003 S8 that looks neat:

12K miles
CPO
$49.9K

If anyone is really close to those guys, let me know; it'd be great if you could give the car a look-over and test-drive on my behalf.

Thanks!

Default You already have a S8?

Why would you want to pay $40K plus for an 03?

Post in the Chicago forum. They'll probably tell you to contact me!!!

;-)

I can't do it.

Was thinking of trading in the '01 for an '03, plus I always love black!

Ask to speak with Mitch Berg, he's the manager there and tell him that you got his name from Ed Brown. He is a very honest and straightforward man with which to deal. I have on several occaisions taken his representation and description of an Audi's condition as the basis for hopping on a plane to Chicago to buy the vehicle and have not been disappointed.

Default What is wrong with north of $40k for an '03?

Or are you suggesting you could buy an earlier year for lots less? The price is not at all unreasonable

Default It's just a lot of money for a car that is going to rapidly depreciate

I'm not saying that's not what they are going for, actually, I don't know what they are going for.

But to trade in a S8 for another S8 that is listed north of 45K just doesn't make any sense to me.

The car will be worth 30K in two years.

Just my opinion.....and I would want an 03 S8!!

Default In two years, a new D3 S8 will depreciate a lot more than $15k; and ...

I expect the '03 S8 will outperform the very heavy D3 in every way except 0-60 times, where the V10 powered S8 might be marginally quicker.
