Whut up everyone! I just recently joined this site and I must admit, I've read most of people's posts regarding their experiences with buying an S4. Although I've been happy with my BMW 323is (with some minor mods), it just doesn't have enough juice for my taste. At the same time, I'm FINALLY graduating this semester and have a job lined up after the holidays. Basically, I'm rewarding myself by buying a new ride.
I'm currently leaning towards an S4 (the least expensive, B5) instead of possibly buying an E36 M3 because of the awd capability...snow sux up in Jersey! I could also go the Japanese route and look at STIs or EVOs, but I've always been a fan of German automobiles!
Here are some questions to any S4 owners: What year is a "good" year in terms of reliability? And how much should I expect to fork out for that year model? Lastly, are Edmunds or the Kelly Blue Book good negotiating tool? I've come across several S4s priced $3k to $4k more than prices listed on both sites.
I'm also a member on DTMPower and have posted similar questions. But, I figured why not go straight to the people who have first hand knowledge of Audis!!
Thanks in advance for any input...hopefully, my next questions will be about "my own" S4!

 

Hi mistikmack, welcome to the forum.

It is going to be really hard to give you a price on an S4. They vary from area to area, best thing to do is look at autotrader.com for a guess of prices in your area. Also as with some cars, Audi's really don't have better years than others. The're all good.
