Default Resale value of Imola?

I'm considering buying and Imola but I'm a bit worried of resale, as compared to the silver or black S4's which are available. Please let me know what you think.

Default Remember that Imola is exclusive to the S4, like Nogaro, so...

...I would think that although it's not mainstream, it should command equal or greater resale value. But, what do I know except that money permitting I would be the first one to knock on your door if you were to sell it!

Default cars are the worlds WORST investments...buy what you like!

You are going to have to live with the car for years...while it seems sensible to think about that...it is sort of like asking a girl on a first date what it will be like breaking up with her!

I have stealth silver...wish I could get away with Imola.<p><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/AudiWorldPics/2000/carssmall4.jpg">

Default When selling, you'll appeal to a small group...

of Imola fanatics who will be in no position to argue too greatly with your price. A few years from now, today's Imola S4 will be quite a difficult find...as if it isn't already!

Don't worry about it. Get your car and be happy.

Default No, computers are the worse, cars are second. Buy what you like in either, and don't worry about

resale!<p>Jim De Arras

Default Yellow is gaining in popularity, overall. I see more and more every day, all models.

Probably helps resale value, but reduces "stand-out" effect of Imola! :-(

Still easy to find in parking lot, no need to try and remember where you put it!<p>Jim De Arras
