141k mile audi.... umm no thanks. Personally, I would have a hard time paying that much (or close to that much) for ANY car with that amount of miles.
agreed. the mileage is high.
i'm planning that, if after I take it out and like it, to low ball the fuck out of them.
i'm thinking about offering 12k (sight unseen) and seeing what happens. maybe go up to 15 at a max. 19 is too high.
It's a bit of a rarer car though, being 6 spd and avant, without wood trim (which is a deal breaker for me!!!), so it's not a run of the mill car that is available everywhere. most are autos with wood trim. yuck. So I don't know how much they will budge. But then again, I tend to want what the rest of the market doesn't, so this may be a hard sell for them in the first place.
it really depends on my trade in too.
i'm sitting on a "time bomb" if you will. I need a clutch, spark plugs, and one of my wheels is slightly bent which makes braking hard an annoying rattle fest. all in all, its ~2 grand of service work that needs to be footed if I keep it. And that's if it doesn't blow up from detonation first.. lol I've been keeping my foot out of it and out of boost and its been fine. I'm flashing it back to stock and putting the stock airbox on it tonight to prep for trade-in.
I owe 12k on it still.
So, if I can get the s4 for around 14k, i'd consider myself even, albeit with a slightly older car with more miles....
Perhaps it's a trade down, but having awd will be nice. I'm planning to ditch my truck too. its rotting away from neglect. doesn't even run right now. so I need to get some work done to it and then try to off it. the wagon will hold 90% of what I need to carry via truck, or for those other times when it's not, my dad and 2132141 friends near by have pickups I can borrow for a few hours. Or the home depot truck for $20/hr
Plus, having more space is a good thing. the genesis trunk space sucks. i'm working on getting back into a band, and there's no way a 4x12 cab is going to fit in the genesis. my guitar cases barely fit!
The records look good on the carfax, and that likely isn't even everything. And for such a new car, it's all highway miles to get up there so quick. 1 owner, and not a run of the mill car Along the same lines, things that would have broken probably already did and were replaced. They seem to have all records of service so I plan to go through them all and see what's been done and take the car for a beat run. Any 140k mile "issues" that I feel or here are going to be me walking away.
. The geni's are fairly common where as the S4 will always be more desirable.
