| Price of the Audi A4 / S4 / RS4: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2008 | 4dr Wagon turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Audi financial had geed financing interest rates, vs others manufacturers, Volvo and Subaru. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.1L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
An A4 with a V6 and automatic transmission can get pricey but Audi throws in enough standard features to make it worthwhile. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Since a new model is being introduced, there were several lightly used models available and they were aggressively priced. |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 170hp 1.8L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Good value |
| 2004 | 4dr Sedan 340-horsepower 4.2L V8 6-speed manual AWD |
I got a rediculous deal. Once in a lifetime really. |
| 2002 | 4dr Sedan 220-horsepower 3.0L V6 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD |
The CPO price was good when we purchased |
| Price of the Audi A4 / S4 / RS4: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2010 | 4dr Sedan supercharged 333hp 3.0L V6 7-speed automated manual AWD |
Relatively pricey, however compares well with competition (BMW 335). |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 211hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
It is a pricey car for the fairly average performance. |
| 2008 | 4dr Wagon turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Expensive to buy and run |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 340-horsepower 4.2L V8 6-speed manual AWD |
You pay a premium on the S4 over the A4. Just up to you to figure out if the performance is worth the price. You are right up there with a nicely configured BMW 335. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.1L V6 6-speed manual AWD |
The A4 is not cheap, however it is worth the money. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 7-speed shiftable CVT FWD |
For the same as a base A4 2.0t I got a LOADED Passat. No incentives offered on a lease. VW wanted zero down, Audi wanted $3,000.00 down. Same terms, same monthly payment. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
$40,000 price tag (fully loaded w/ nav) |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.1L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
exspensive car |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Expensive to repair and buy |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.1L V6 6-speed manual AWD |
You pay for performance and workmanship |
| 2006 | 4dr Wagon turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual AWD |
Even buying second hand, I paid a bit too much. A manual 6-spd wagon with sports package is not your typical configuration. Compare to other alternatives, Audi does run a bit more expensive. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual AWD |
Can get pricey |
| 2006 | 4dr Wagon turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual AWD |
What was on the sticker is what you paid. No negotiation, No discounts!! |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 340-horsepower 4.2L V8 6-speed manual AWD |
It is a very expensive car, though in the right area for that level of combined luxury and performance. Other, perfectly adequate vehicles are available for much less. |
| 2002 | 4dr Wagon turbocharged 170hp 1.8L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Way too expensive for what it was. |
| 2002 | 4dr Sedan 220-horsepower 3.0L V6 6-speed manual AWD |
costly relative to Acura |
What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the Subaru Legacy
| Price of the Subaru Legacy: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2011 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 265hp 2.5L H4 6-speed manual AWD |
$5K or more cheaper than similar G37. $10-20K cheaper than similar BMW. |
| 2010 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 265hp 2.5L H4 6-speed manual AWD |
Costs about $10,000 less than comparable AWD sedans. |
| 2010 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 265hp 2.5L H4 6-speed manual AWD |
The price for quality and performance is unbeatable compared to anything else on the market in my opinion. I got a good lease deal and the residual is strong as well. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 170-horsepower 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD |
Cheap, AWD, and the best set of features under 20k after negotiation. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 243hp 2.5L H4 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
value for money |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 243hp 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD |
Great value for $26,000 |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 170-horsepower 2.5L H4 4-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Good value for money especially with in included features. |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 250hp 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD |
I got the car for $7000 under MSRP. |
| 2005 | 4dr Wagon turbocharged 250hp 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD |
IMO, the Legacy offers great value. Just around $20,000 will get you a very capable automobile with some nice convenience and/or luxury features. |
| Price of the Subaru Legacy: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 243hp 2.5L H4 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Not a good value in comparison to other similarly equipped cars especially compared even to luxury marques like Acura. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 250hp 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD |
Add a few options and the price quickly climbs to $30,000, a level in which there is a lot of very good competition. The TSX, by contrast, I picked up with more features for only $26k. |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 250hp 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD |
the parts are expensive, whenever it breaks. |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 168-horsepower 2.5L H4 4-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Pricey vs competition. |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 250hp 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD |
If you buy one of these new keep in mind that it’s going to take a huge depreciation hit in the first couple years, much bigger than other cars in it’s class. |
