Default Just got a trade in Quote: 40K thats pretty sad.....

the dealer said between 39 and 40 thousand. the car only has 2900 miles. he said all the local audi dealers have like 6 to 7 in stock and cant get rid of them, which is driving the trade in way down. i guess i'll be keeping it.

Default So why would you want to get rid of it so quickly (mind you to each his or her own).

but for real. of course a sedan is going to get a terribly low number on it.

the darn thing is barely broken in and you just paid all the gg tax and initial depreciation???

but there's prolly more about this that I don't know.

Default You could probably do a lot better through private sale.

Trade-in value is never pretty.

Default Not surprising - you lose 15-20% of purchase price of ANY car the moment you drive it off the lot...

That's the way the car game works; unless something is in <i>incredible</i> demand, you lose 15-20% of the new purchase price the millisecond you drive it off the lot...

Exactly. A used F355 went for only 5% off MSRP before the 360 came out.

Default Don't forget though, their job is to rape you

Not sure how your car is optioned, but don't think for a minute they'd be selling it for less than 47 on their lot.
