Default What a wake up call... Only $15 grand offered on dealer trade in
a $43,000 car, perfect condition, just under 4 years old, 63k miles, and only worth 15 grand. That's unbelievable to me.

Sorry to diss on Audi, but I will never ever buy another one. The resale is like the kick in the gut after owning one and dealing with all the issues and dealer bullsh!t.

Perhaps you should buy a Honda next time.

Default dealer trade-in != actual value
You should be able to get low 20's from a private-party sale.

Cheer up - $85K Porsches are worth $30-$35K in trade.

Interesting when Insurance gives you a good figure over $30K for a totaled 2000 S4..
