Hey guys, been a while since I posted, I have a stage 1 APR tuned S8 and I am about to pull the trigger on a 2017 Nardo Grey RS7 performance with less than 10k miles on it. Has carbon ceramics, bang and olufsen and other features but I have been really gun shy and wanted to get your opinion before I did anything.

I am worried because the price on it right now is around 97k, which doesn't seem all that bad but I am worried that because we are now in 19 and the new C8's will be out soon I really should be looking at this thing priced more like it were a 2016 than a 2017 so 97k would definitely be on the steep end of that. I know these cars have historically held their value pretty well especially with a color like this and with extras.

Its MSRP was 138k but the car typically loses a crazy amount through depreciation in year one and I really don't want to jump into it and feel like I am already a bit behind in the value.

Thoughts?

Use Autotempest.com and compare prices of similar. If the price seems fair and you like the car, buy it.

With a tuned S8 however, I do question why you want an RS7? Its another brute tank. I'd go the other way; light, nimble and quick like a TTRS.

Thanks for the reply, I will check that site out. I know they are similar cars in the sense of engine, both big etc. I should have stated my reasonings in the original email.

I want more of a statement car and less of a sleeper. I would also like the piece of mind off a warranty as I know the challenges that these cars bring. I was eeve considering a 17' R8 Plus and maybe a daily driver though it's a tad steep. I want to make sure I get a deal no matter what I buy as I can afford to be patient.

Hey @pharmd29 did you end up selling your S8? I found a Daytona Pearl grey in Marietta I want to buy and was wondering if it was yours. Thanks

I sold mine to a company up in Massachusetts and I believe they sold it. I ended up getting an RS7.
