Default Whooops! 25th Anniversary ain't so hottt

Looking around Ebay and autotrader, you can have as many 25th Anv cars as you want...they aren't selling. Wonder when the prices will start dropping.

One idiot dealer (DCH in NJ) has actually posted the "buy it now" price at over $65,000 !!

Heavy weed being smoked out there.

Default Oh....It's hott, just not at that price...

What you say is true. The demand is low at that high of price. There was even a completed listing on ebay which sold for $56K. which sounds about right...

Also, if you do a search on autotrader, which is not inclusive of all audi dealers, it's kinda surpising how many (20+) left over 05.5B7 S4 there are still in inventory across the US, when you consider most of these were taken stock at the end of last summer. It all points to low consumer demand. (at the price)

Don't get me wrong... I want one...

Anyway, I'll continue to wait it out/seek it out for the right price. Dealerships are not car museums, they need to move the metal.

Default I haven't seen any of them sold in my neck of the woods in SoCal.

They're only trying to sell them for list at around $62k too. No matter what, that's too much $$ for something that is not THAT hot.

The ones at all of the local dealers have been sitting around since their arrival and I'll bet they continue to sit and rot until they decide to bite the bullet and sell for less than MSRP.

Default dealer today had the same one he's been sitting on since they launched it...

yet he had another guy who ordered one even knowing the RS4 was coming.

in any case, overpriced. audi should have at least tuned the ECU for a few more horse and made the exhaust more than just a sound enhancement at that price.

the 2-tone interior with the wide-waeve CF trim is beautiful tho.

Default Funny, the one at my dealership is driven by who?

Exactly - the sales manager. They couldn't sell theirs either :-)

Default You're right! Though my dealer gave me a discount, at that price Audi should have provided at

least 380hp. But I have to say I love mine despite the excess cost.
