hosed on s8
 

trading-in 02 s8 loaded with everything but alcantara,21k miles,they give me only $56k.
Are they really that soft?

When I bought my 03 S8.......
 

I had my choice of several new 02's for right at $63k. Sounds like I'll be keeping mine for a while based on the kind of numbers you're being offered. Given the first year depreciation, trading a one-year-old car is never a good situation anyway. Why not sell it outright and take less of a hit? Run an Ebay auction, you probably won't sell it through the auction but it's great advertising. People will try to steal your car but I sold my last 4 cars as a result of running an auction. Most recent a 2001 740iL sold it in three weeks and was happy with what I got for it. Only because I bought it right however. At least now you have a number to shoot for. Anything more than the $56k is good for you. Best of luck.

AG is considering not marketing the new S8 in AoA land, FWIW. :)

What a shame that would be!!
 

1st and last for me? Hope not!

Re: hosed on s8
 

What did you pay for your S8 new, including taxes etc. out the door?

Tax and lic vary by state and county.

They're letting in about 150 more RS6s for '03, though. Go figure. :)

Re: hosed on s8
 

$73,000 with MSRP $77,740,luxury tax,no sales tax (traded-in CL55)

Sad if true :-(

Write a letter addressed to Len Hunt. It can be really short, just mention
 

you are an A8/S8 owner, and would like to see the new one come here.
