I'm frustrated
I can only find two 00-02 S4's in my area on autotrader. One is a '00 6 speed with 52k miles and an extended warranty until 09/08 but the guy is offering it for 20,500. It's like 2k above blue book. The other one I found is an '00 with 50k miles with alcantera and pretty much all the options and it's at a dealer offering 16,900. But it's a tiptronic, I can't stand automatic. My car right now is automatic and it drives me nuts. And I really don't want to just buy one out of state without even looking at it. This is just irritating.

6 speed with extended warrenty to 08 - with only 52K - somnds like a winner to me. (I'm not sure of pricing...but only 2K over BB - maybe you can offer him 1K over...with warrenty sounds well worth it)

RE: I'm frustrated
If it makes you feel any better, I have not bought a car in my state for... well over 5 years I think.
I mean I always have to leave Michgan if I am going to find something worth buying.
I drove to DC just to buy my current S4 and that is a bit of a scoot from here.
My advice is make a vacation out of it. I mean Vacations are fun and there is nothing better than buying a sweet car at the end of your vacation for a souvenir to take home. And if you go some place cool but the car turns out not to be what you are looking for then you can always go.. hey at least it was a nice trip.
On the flip side if you have no selection in your area then buying out of state can really help with the resale as well.
For instance most of my cars when I have finally sold them sell very strong becase they are rare in my area. So you will have the corner on the market once you get yours.
Good luck in your hunt. Where abouts are you any way?

I am in Midland. Thats about 120 miles north of Detroit.
Being in Pheniox you are like in the land of eternal vehicles! Utah and Arizona are pristine states when compared to michigan rust. Being from Detoit you know what I am talking about. Personally I have had to get rid of too many vehicles in my life that I could actually push my hand through their frames. (and I am not even a magician)
