Default Jebus! Residual values on the RS4 are horrific.

53% residual after 36 months

MSRP: $73,520.00
Invoice: $67,691.00

Global Options
Power Steering, Air Conditioning, Cruise Control, Leather, Moonroof,
Power Locks, Power Seat, Power Windows, Stereo, Cassette, Tilt Wheel,
Premium Audio, Alloy Wheels, CDChanger, Navigation, Anti Lock Brakes

Term Value
18 55270
21 53305
24 51145
27 45570
30 43950
33 41790
36 39460
39 34930
42 33465
45 31580
48 29565

Default whose rates are those? I got 48% residual on a 48mo. via AFS.

48% is pretty damn good after 48 months...I challenge you to find any car with a residual greater than 50% for that term.

Default I'm quoting "standard" mileage/rates.

"Residual values listed above reflect the standard 15k a year allowed. Increase the residual value +2 for 12k miles, +3 for 10k miles a year."

If you chose the 12k a year plan, then yes, the residuals are higher.

Default Look at the rate sheet I posted above

48 mo, 15K, 46% resid not 40%
36 mo, 15K, 56% resid not 53%

Not that I even care. I just don't want you to get screwed.

That's why I'm going to buy one pre-owned.
