Default They will be out there. People will need to bail from the payments or such due to jobs. Even rare

cars of 250 or less, you can find them. Just how much are you willing to pay though?

Default 6 to 10% drop off per year on average.

Still won't be cheap - probably $65 to 75K for the first year or two. Then as the next new thing comes along and the warranty is closer to ending, the price will drop. Once out of warranty, price will be quite reasonable for a car like this. However, it's not going to be cheap to maintain - it still needs maintainence like an $80K car. It's not like your local joe mechanic will be able to do much beyond change the oil, and even Audi dealers with the correct tools and techs aren't found on every street corner.

Default Ah yes, the infamous cost of ownership

but undoubtedly there will be people who are all excited when they get the car, then their neighbor gets a Maserati or a Hummer or some other guy toy and they will forget all about their Audi.

Whilst shopping for Audis at shops that also sell Porsches I would hear stories about guys (and yes, they are usually guys) who would come in on a whim, get a Porsche, then two weeks later want to trade it because they didn't like it anymore (either didn't like the color, or wanted a slushbox, or wanted a convertible, or didn't want their convertible). They were not pleased to discover how fast and hard depreciation hits, and thought they were exempt from that particular law.

Default Don't forget the INSANE insurance premium this thing will carry.

I doubt that many will be returned. How many used S6s are there on the market?
