New and looking into buying an Audi
Hello everyone, First post on the form~
I am in the market to buy a new car. Audi has been one of my favor brand and I would like to take some suggestions from you guys what model and what trim of Audi i should get.
My budget is around 40k, and here is my choices. Used B8/8.5 S4/ new S3/ A4/A5.
The use for this car is to commute to work everyday. I drive around 60 miles a day 5 days a week. And i live in Boston area where awd is a must.
Thanks
Allen

Hello and welcome to the forum!
I would recommend aiming for a base 2017 A4. The S3 already starts at $42k. By the time it is fully configured, it will be closer to $50k. A base 2017 A4 only starts at $37k. I just configured a base AWD model in the Audi USA website. With the NAV and Convenience Package and AWD, I ended up with $44k. If you join ACNA, you get a 6% discount off MSRP. That brings the price down to around $41k. If you haggle a bit, you may be able to bring it down closer to $40k. Nice brand new car that will be within your budget.
A good used S4 is also nice. However, it is best to buy it if it comes with Audi CPO. You want to be covered from expensive repair bills. A lot of S4 owners modify their cars and put them back to stock when they get rid of them. Some owners do a good job, some do a ****ty job and pass the headache on to the next owner. You will want to be protected. Otherwise, have your Audi mechanic inspect a candidate vehicle before you decide to purchase it. It does take a bit of work to find the right car but a used CPO S4 is certainly an option.
