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

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

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

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.

2011 4dr Sedan turbocharged 265hp 2.5L H4

$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

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

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.

2008 4dr Sedan turbocharged 243hp 2.5L H4

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

the parts are expensive, whenever it breaks.
2005 4dr Sedan 168-horsepower 2.5L H4

Pricey vs competition.
2005 4dr Sedan turbocharged 250hp 2.5L H4

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.
