What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the Audi A4 / S4 / RS4
| 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 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 |
| 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. |
| 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!! |
| 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. |
| 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 Lexus RX
| Price of the Lexus RX: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2004 | 4dr SUV 230-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed automatic FWD |
Best value luxury brand SUV bar none. |
| Price of the Lexus RX: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2010 | 4dr SUV 245-horsepower 3.5L V6 Hybrid 6-speed shiftable CVT AWD |
The price is very high if compared to a Mazda CX-9, with similar features, similar performances and similar (i guess) reliability |
| 2009 | 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
more than $12000 more than the Murano with all the same bells and whistles |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD |
Overpriced |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD |
all of the above come with a price tag, which, over the long term, balance out with hopefully lower maintenance and operating costs |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 208-horsepower 3.3L V6 Hybrid CVT AWD |
This can be an expensive car. I would never buy one new and while I think there is value for money, I have issues with spending 55k on a car. I bought mine used on Ebay for a great price including shipping and have a friend who has done the same. |
