Default New RS4 for $63k or used for $50k

Hey Guys, My wife and I are considering getting rid of our 04 Avant UltraSport and getting a RS4. I've been looking for a nice used black/black RS4 and found one with 25k miles for $50k. On the other hand, I've found a new one that has been marked down to $63k. Do those prices sound reasonable? Obviously something in the $50k range sounds more appealing...I'm going to try to go look at the used one next week. Are there any other low mileage used ones out there that anyone is aware of? I'm located in Ohio and would be willing to travel a little bit to check one out. Thanks for the help! Kent

go used...avoid as much depreciation as possible. CPO is your friend as well.

Default Go new if you keep your cars for a long time

but if you trade every three years or so go used

check Autotrader and Cars.com - they have lots of listings

Default I'd recommend a low-mileage one and pay

more if it's in great shape. You should be able to find one with low mileage in the mid-fifties range.

Low mileage used. These cars depreciate almost as fast as they drive. :-)

Default Thanks for the input

Thanks everyone for the input. I agree with the used car theory. I'd hate to take the depreciation hit. I guess my challenge now is finding a low mileage black/black car. I've tried Autotrader and Cars and didn't really see anything at the moment. If anyone knows of one I would love to hear about it. Also, what common problems should I be looking for if I find one? Thanks! Kent
