After nearly eight wonderful years in my 04 S4, I pulled the trigger yesterday on a 2013 ... Monsoon Grey, Prestige, S-Tronic, Black & Red Silk Nappa Leather, Sport Diff., Adaptive Damping, 19" wheels, Carbon Atlas. I can't believe it's been that long. Put my 04 on Craigslist this afternoon and took a deposit this evening so it looks like I'll be riding my motorcycle a lot more over the remainder of the Summer. I really have mixed emotions right now because although I'm really looking forward to the new car, it's going to be very hard to see my 04 go. I had to sit in the back seat this evening for the perspective new owner's test drive, something I've never done before and the car was just awesome even from back there. Bittersweet until I'm behind that flat bottomed wheel [:)]

congrats! what kind of pricing did you get?
I'm looking at '11 CPOs and getting prices around 45k. seems like getting a '13 maybe worth the ~10k upgrade

Yea unlike other cars in the s4 category we are fortunate that s4's have great resale value. Congrats on the new purchase that color is a great choice too.

MSRP was $61,670 ... sale price was $58,815 which isn't the best I've seen but in my area it's tough to get them much lower. TrueCar & Zag both had between $59,400 - $59,500 for a local target price so I did a little better than that. The way I like to look at it is that if I factor in loyalty and ACNA rebate, I'm at something like $500 under dealer cost. Better still, when I factor in what I just got for my 04 S4, I'm down under $45k and that includes taxes on the purchase. All in all I can't really complain about the deal. It does pay to keep your vehicles in good shape though as this is this the third time that something of mine has sold to the very first person who came to see it and within only a few hours of my posting a for sale ad.
