Default Used RS4s: How Much are People Actually Paying?

I'm trying to decide between a low mileage used RS4 or a new S5. If I could buy the RS4 for $5-6K more than a loaded S5 I might go that way. But, nearly all used RS4s are at dealers, and dealer pricing tends to be high. I'd like to know what people are actually paying. For instance, is a low mileage RS4 really worth $67-69K or can you buy one for $64K. And I guess the most important question is: WOULD you buy a used one?

Thanks for any info.

Default Used is a great way to go...

Just bought one for 61K, 5 months old. Excellent condition, i'm very happy with it.
I wouldn't pay 69K for a used one for sure. I'd go new if you are contemplating paying that price.
However, if still under warranty, you have very little to worry about.

Default 2nd that!

I'm the second owner of the black beauty below. As it turns out, I am looking for the third owner right now...(I'm in California)

Default Here's one in your area I'd guess you could get for < $64K. Miles are a bit high. I've noticed

that the asking is highest in the PNW and California.<ul><li><a href="http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.jsp?car_id=230073719&amp;dealer_id=2335447&amp ;car_year=2007&amp;model=RS4&amp;num_records=25&am p;make2=&amp;start_year=1981&amp;keywordsfyc=&amp; keywordsrep=&amp;engine=&amp;certified=&amp;body_c ode

Default if you can find a CPO one, used is fine.

there really haven't been any major mechanical issues reported here, and many of us are well over a year and 15k+ miles into ownership. If I was you, I sure would like to drive the S5 first before making that decision, though.

Default one of the dealers here in norcal is asking 69,995 for a CPO w/6Kmiles

at least that's where they are starting... supposedly was an Audi exec demo car.

Default I hear ya. I like the performance of the RS4 and the looks of the S5...

guess I need an RS5, but I don't want to wait that long.
