Default Looks like the RS 4 is going to Carmax...

I haven't been able to move my RS 4 (22,900 miles), and I have it online for $52,900 to try and move it this week. I've gotten a few bites, but none have come through. Carmax offered me just a little bit lower than that, so if it doesn't sell by the end of this week, then that's where it's going.

It's sad, as I'd like the car to go to another owner that will take care of it (or at least that I get to talk to), but the market for this car has completely dropped out lately. Also, some people are scared by yellow - I think it's one of the best colors for the RS 4.

It was a fun time with the RS 4 and I will miss it! I just can't justify keeping that, my Corrado, and my BMW bike when I'm working from home now. Time to free up the cash I have in that car. The longer I hold onto it, the more it's just going to depreciate. So time to get out.

Default yeah, yellow isn't the color to get if you plan to sell in 2 years.

or if you plan to sell ever, quite frankly.

Default I think yellow is a great colour, but like you said, it scares me when it

comes to resale...it's a tough one.

Default Even though the color looks great on the car, most Rs4 buyers are way to low key to go for it.

Also, most like the Rs4 because of its understated yet masculine look, and the bright yellow defeats that purpose. That in combination with the 23k miles puts you in a difficult position. I don't know what carmax is offering you but I know a couple of months ago someone reported that the dealer offered them 48k for a daytona with 24k miles. Good luck!

Yellow looks great; I hope it goes to an owner who appreciates it.
