A4 Pricing Help
Hey guys,
Longtime lurker on here, but now it is time for me to perseverate. On a whim, I test drove a 2008 A4 yesterday and was surprised by how much I liked it. It was reasonably nimble and quick and it seems that Audi fixed a lot of the issues I had with the feel of the B6 A4s. I'm even more surprised that I'm considering purchasing it. However, I'm completely out of the loop regarding used A4 values. Does anyone have access to Galves? What is the wholesale price for a 2008 Special Edition A4 with the Ti package? http://www.bergstromauto.com/certifi...seHistory=true Thanks! |

No input on pricing, but we have the Special Edition '08 wagon. For what it is, it's a great car - it's engaging and feels lighter than it is. As long as your performance expectations do not involve track time our autox-ing, it's a really fun to drive car. And, reliability-wise, we've had no issues with ours.

My performance expectations are pretty low - the E92 M3 fulfills my track day needs. I need a car that can get me from CA to WI, and back, at any time of the year without boring me. My gut says that the car should be worth about $20k. If I can get them to offer it to me for that price, I'll help them take the car off their books today. |

Our A4 is the family truckster but on the days I take it to work, it's really quite fun to put through the motions. It's different than any BMW, but that doesn't mean it's not fun. |

Just a guess here, but I bet the Quattro is worth more in Wisconsin than it is in Newport CA.

According to Galves the trade in would be:
$19,225. Base Audi 2.0t $16,700 quattro +$1800 s line + $900 not automatic -800 miles should be 39,000 credit for 33k miles +625. I would add at least $2k for the vehicle being certified but keep in mind Galves is the trade in value so I would add a $2 to $3k more to that as well. Hope this info helps ... personally I think that one looks really nice !! |

Your info was very helpful. My initial offer to pay $2k over wholesale didn't go over well. However, I've since negotiated the price down to $25,300 with $1,500 for my trade in. I only want this car if I can get an exceptional deal, which in my opinion means somewhere in the 24's certified. I don't need the car; my old '96 A4 is still chugging along nicely. I'm trying to get the salesman to make it so I can't pass up buying the car.
