hello guys
i've decided to get an s4.

what are something things to avoid, like for a 2014-2015 what would be a good milage to get (i understand the lower the better) but i wonder if like hey over 50k there starts being issues or stuff like that?

if anyone has some wisdom words for me, would be greatly appreciated!

Nothing to avoid. Make sure you get one that has a sport dif. These cars have been unusually reliable over 50K . My current(3rd) B8 S4 now has 65K . Bought it with 49K. Only issues were: Battery, tires and brakes which are normal wear and tear A few have had issues with the DSG trans. You should be able to find something decent with around 30k miles or even lower. It should still have the factory warranty. CPO would be even better. These cars are not plentiful and are in high demand. Don't expect dealer to come down much from advertised price. But try to get a lower price anyway. Nothing to lose.

New to the forum but recently just bought a 2015 S4 with 20K miles for just over $40K. Everything I was looking at was around the same price range and as said earlier, dealers wouldn't really budge. Though not a deal-breaker, I tried to avoid evidence of too much wear-and-tear work and cars with over 25K miles/year.

You might want to avoid a car that does not have the Sport Dif. Others may not agree

Hey guys! New here, just picked up an S4 for my 50th birthday. I figured a black S4 was better than black balloons any day.

Mine is a 2014 with 22k miles. It's a Premium Plus, 6MT with Black Optics. I got it for $37.4k, which seemed like a really decent price to me.

Loving it so far! It's off getting window tint right now.
