Not an RS4 owner yet, but close. Could use a little advice. Considering an 07 M.Blue RS4 4k mi apparently bought at auction in the NY area and shipped to upper midwest (Mpls) offered for sale by a non-Audi dealer. I've driven it and seems ok. Clean Carfax, but I know that doesn't mean much. Dealer's been around awhile and seems ok. Other options are a little more $$ for an 07 CPO with similar miles or just go new, hoping to negotiate and get the end of 2.9% financing. Any thoughts? Thanks

You can get a 07 cpo with 2.9 %. I thougt that was just for a new rs4. I got 4.9% on my 07.

No, I think the 2.9 is for 2008. Don't know what it is for 07 CPO, but 4.9% sounds good

You never <i>really</i> know the history of a used car. It all depends on how much you are willing to pay to have a new car vs. a used car. I would be willing to pay $56-57K for a non-CPO car and $59-60K for a CPO car. I would think you could get a few thousand off a new 2008. So is it worth $10-15K to drive a new car versus a lightly used car? It probably would be for me personally, but I am stupid with my car purchases.

What sparkhill says is really valid w/ this car. If I wasn't convinced that my car was broke in correctly (hard) I never would have gone used, and obviously you can't tell that with an auction car. Just my .02...

Any more detail on breakin procedure?

Saw it at Don Rosen the other day while getting my car serviced... Can't say enough about the dealership... Give them a call if you're interested...

PM me if you want more information or just want the name of a great salesperson...

I just picked up my '08 rs4 from Rusnak Audi in Thousand Oaks yesterday, and I got the 2.9% financing. I was pretty surprised cause I thought the special financing offer ended March 4th. I guess they can still do it.

there have been dozens of threads on break in procedures on this forum - no everyone agrees but if you do a search you can draw your own conclusions. that said I think most would agree that babying this car through break in is a mistake and can result in increased oil consumption, but as i said, opinions vary...

Delete what's in the subject heading and start your message there....if too long (like this one), finish your message in the message box ;-) That being said... got my Black/black 07 w/ 7700 mi for 62k...u can probably do a bit better now FWIW, but NO regrets here..I love it Enjoy it everyday!! I would definitely do it over again, but even would buy new. Hope you work it out and enjoy the RS4 life! Sorry, just too many "Re: New to this forum"s for my OCD to handle :-)
