Default 07 RS4 Value question

Was presented with an "opportunity" to buy one (it has less than 18K miles) for 52K - I am hoping someone out there would be willing to help me ascertain if this is indeed a 'good price" or if the price noted is over blown...

The facts are

6 spd manual
Blue ext
Gray int
PDL
PW
Dual Air Bags
Tach
AC
Cruise
Tinted glass
rear defrost
Pwr drivers seat
Pwr pass seat
AM/FM radio
Dual Zone climate control
nav system
Power windows
Leather wrapped steering wheel
Compact CD
Steering wheel controls
Heated seats
Certified used
Leather/Leatherette
Sunroof
Warranty
Rear shoulder harness
Bose sound system
Auto Climate
Home link (whatever that is)



I have never purchased an Audi before and am unfamiliar with their value and options - any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Default Seems a little high

I just purchased my 07' recently from an Audi dealer with the cpo warranty included for $46k, with 29,000 miles. But the car was super clean!

Is the car for sale from Audi?
Does it have the CPO warranty? which gives you up to 100,000 mile coverage.

There are many out there cheaper, especially right now. just keep looking

Default that's 5k - 10k too high

Bought my 07 black/titanium/carbon fiber RS4, two months ago for 45K, with 16k on the odo. And this was after passing on 2 brand new 2008's at a SoCal dealer for 56K and 59K.

Default PS: all that option list equals the Audi "Premium Package"

Maybe 48K if the car is certified pre-owned (CPO)with the extended warranty.

blue cost more..
i could of got any color but blue for 5-10k cheaper. ended up with 18k miles CPO blue/white interior/premium package for $56k this past november.

you will see a few rs4s but check how many blue ones out there. not many. so if color is important get it.

the rs4 going for $40-45k that everyone keep mentioning are black, silver or gray.

also, blue will also be noticed more on the road, people snap their neck, i notice it all the time. so if you don't want extra attention get a black or a different color, but you are hung on the blue get it because you won't find it cheaper trust me i was searching for my rs4 for a while and ended up driving 600+ miles to get it.

i get tons of complements on the color, some guy asked me if i painted it like that lol. sometimes i get annoyed by the questions but when i look at the car i grin. anyway keep that in mind. blue ftw.

Default ^^^ what he said

Color is a very important item, and Sprint is indeed priced higher from my anecdotal evidence. A search on the registry (granted a bit dated) revealed there is only 1 more car with my configuration - Sprint, White leather, Ti package. So if this is what rocks your boat, sample size will dictate price most likely. Ditto for Ibis or another more 'exclusive' color.

As mentioned, black, silver and gray are broadly offered. If you go out of the beaten path, prices may be at a premium.
