48K trade in offered!

WTF!?! KBB trade is 58k with options! Sticker was 68k in September 2011. Really, did I buy a sinking ship? 2011 35d sport activity, premium, multi-contour, rear climate, cold weather. Everything but adaptive. 48k from Audi, WAS gonna trade on an S4.

Thinking about springs, wheel spacers, powdercoat, and rentech now. Should be just as much fun as an S4....

BS. Mannheim is just an excuse. Sell it private party on Craigslist. Be patient, be prepared to adjust price, but it will sell much more than stealership will give on trade. IMO

Manheim is the highest auction price. Cars are cheaper in the smaller auctions. Why would a dealer pay more than wholesale for a car? They wouldn't. Makes no sense.
U absolutely can get more selling it urself. It could just take a looooooong time.
Trading a car in u save money on the sales tax on ur purchase too so it almost equals out. But ur not getting a penny above wholesale on the value.

Yes, agree selling yourself will take longer, but not always. The car will sell once it is priced appropriate to the market.

Its been my experience having sold many cars & motorcycles on Craigslist that once I adjust the price to the market, it will sell. Usually this means it will sell at a price higher than a dealer will give you.

Seriously an S4, u wont be happy. First, i luv the look of audi...wonderful. Their service sucks, i have four friends with sub five year old cars that can not wait to get out of them. They are expensive to service and the dealers blame anything that should be covered by warranty as wear and tear items. Unreal,

I was in an A4 before the X and I have a mod friendly dealer. I think I'm just gonna rock the X for a few years. Plus the amount of miles I'm racking up on this thing are getting pretty out of hand. Would be a waste of an S4 for a DD errand/ work vehicle. Gonna research some springs and powder coating.

Sticker price is BS. 68K, but I hope you didn't pay that much for it
A vehicle loses 15% soon after you drive off the lot. That's 15% off the real price, not the inflated sticker price that nobody in their right mind pays.

You bought in Sept. '11 and already want to trade? I do like the S4 though. Was thinking that over the new 335i but I need more room so looking to get X5.

ANYTIME and I MEAN ANYTIME you cross breed your trades unless its a Ferrari you are going to be RAPED. The only time you can get the decent deal on a good trade is to go back to your BMW dealer, so just sell it outright.
Look at it from Audis view. They are getting a lower end X5, that competes with their Q7 3.0s and they really dont want anything to do with it. They will ship it out to as possible to auction they dont want it.
Sell it your self and then buy what you want, unless you trade up BMW wise.

Yea, I didn't pay that much. But KBB trade w/ options was 58k. So basicly they offered me 10k under KBB trade in value.

Kbb trade in value doesn't mean squat. Dealers go by wholesale pricing. They won't ever pay u more then what they would buy it for in the auctions. Most of the time they offer less then auction price.
