Default What is depreciation curve the like on RS4's?

I notice used loaded RS4's going for around $55-$60 right now w/ around 10k miles on them. Just wondering what the used market might be like 1 year from now.

A year from now(2009), they will be 1 model year older, KBB and Edmunds prices will drop down with each passing year, and immediately at the beginning of a new year.

A good time to buy used is Jan-Feb, right when values are adjusted down due to another calendar year going by, but you don't have the mileage of another year, such as buying late in 09.

Default the residual value on my lease is $35k (effective June 2010)...48k miles allowable

so the actual market value should be in that vicinity, unless Obama taxes us into the Great Depression ver 2.0 ;-)

Default Sadly, just like all other Audis other than the C6 A6/S6, really bad in North America.....

(but all Audi models' resale value is excellent overseas-especially Europe-most of all, Germany, Audi's home territory).

However, the RS 4's (and all other Audi models') resale value in North America, as bad as it is (which, again, is to say really bad), is excellent compared to Gaguar-err-Jaguar, Junk Rover-err-Land Rover, Bummer-err-Hummer and all American non commercial vehicles worldwide (maybe except for the Chevrolet Corvette, which may actually have better resale than any Audi.
