2010 Audi S4...... Opinions??

Not sure if this car has been discussed already but I wanted to see what the rest of you thought about the car? Personally I like it, not sure if it's worth the price tag considering a fully loaded one would probably be pushing towards M3 and C63 territory. Then again I’m not sure on the price that’s just my guess. I see the car starts at mid 40’s

The audi drive select option looks pimp, I'm just wondering how much it will cost to fix the electronic strut if it ever goes out. For about 50k you can get one with 19's (which are pure sex), audi drive select and possibly the upgraded stereo. I think its a hell of a deal and I love the headlights on it. Im seriously considering this as my next car but I'd like to keep my evo and purchase the s4.

I would get one if I had the money. How much is a fully opt S4? I think a fully opt M3 is around 70K.

I don't think performance wise the S4 has anything on the M3 or C63, but looks wise I don't think anyone would say that it's less attractive then the other two.

^ Yeah that's what I want to know? Fully loaded how much is the S4? Does anyone know? I don't see the real value in getting the car if its close in price to the M3 and C63 AMG. The only advantage is AWD which makes it a year round kind of car. All I would want is the Xenon package and Navigation on the S4.

Why don't you go onto the Audi website and build one. That way you'll get a rough estimate on the price.

Earlier this year, the BMW dealer in my area took 10K off of the price tag. So there's deals out there, you'll just have to look for them.

At that price, I'll be looking at the GTR instead

Used RS4... or used M3... or used C63. New cars are often a poor choice when there are so many good, high quality, well serviced and often certified used cars out there. Take a quick swing through ebay to get an idea of what any of these cars is worth.

I have yet to see a GTR for even close to 70k (never seen a used one on sale). The mark up on that car is ridiculous

I built one and it came out to $54,225. Not bad considering what you get, if I could could knock 10k of that price I would get it.

I have to agree. I think a fully opt out S4 is around 50K - 60K.

The ****ty part about luxury cars like BMW, Benz, and Audi is that once it's used (even in near new condition), the car isn't worth that much. The depreciation of those kinds of car are crazy. It's probably because people who can really afford them, don't want it used.

True, at the price of the new S4, I rather get a used M3 or something. But if the looks of the S4 is what you're after, then I wouldn't mind getting a used S4. I'm sure that there's some that are in great condition and are CPO as well.

drove the new m3 and the new s4. liked the s4 more especially for 15k less. i was really impressed with the engine, and it seems under rated at 330hp. lots of tq. the interior is amazing too.

ended up with the lotus on a whim, but the s4 was a clear second choice for me

6spd suede navi... loaded.. 51k

Lots of torque, I think it offers fold down rear seats (i snowboard and mtb a lot and like my **** inside), awd, supercharged, dynamic adjustable suspension, torque vectoring, 7 speed twin clutch... I'm very tempted to trade in my RA.

Love it - one of the most handsome cars on the market, plus a very nice optional rear diff
