Default I doubt many, look at the RS6 they have a few and it was a 2003 limited to + or - 1000. The RS6

has also done very well holding its value. Personally I would rather buy new and burn the front end miles and let someone else have the back end.IMHO the RS4 is a better car and is still limited to + or - 1000 per year for three years. I hope they don't sell all 3000 that would help us out on resale. Like Bob I am hoping to never see another one on the road, unless at a rally.

Default I think it will depend on where you live...

I have seen RS6s in my town on at least 5 ocassions in the last 6 months. But, it could have been the same RS6, they were all the same color.

I have already seen one other RS4 in Greenwich, and I think it might have actually been the test car for the local dealership, the one the sales manager drives around.

Default there's one on ebay right now.

it says 'used', but only has 11 miles on the odomter, so I don't know if that's accurate.<ul><li><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/07-NEW-RS-4-MANUAL-6-SPEED-V8-AWD-4X4-SPORT-SEDAN-FL_W0QQitemZ280005396800QQihZ018QQcategoryZ6055QQs sPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem">Ebay RS4</a></li></ul>

Default How would Audi not moving all of the RS4s help resale?

That would indicate over supply in the market and force them to drop price to move the cars? ....that will push your car's value down.

I'll buy your car when you are done. I don't like eating front end depreciation.

Default that doesn't necessarily mean it hasn't been purchased.

could have been bought by a dealer, now trying to re-sell. technically that would make it a used car.

Default To be used it has to have been titled....

Which means it was sold to a non-dealer at some point. It's always possible a dealer bought it back from a customer who didn't want it. There are certainly high end used car dealers that specialize in ultra low milage barely used performance cars.

That would assume they don't ship the 3000 to the states. Less cars = more demand latter?
