Default 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.

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

Default 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.
