http://kbb.com will show you what things are worth.  generally as an 
enthusist car you can get a bit more.  In addition you can get more by 
selling as opposed to trading in.  Online sites (i use autotrader mostly) 
work quite well.   BMW tends to hold its value better than audi.  Honda 
also holds value better. There are reasons to buy, and not to buy any 
brand/car.

the audi brand is getting a better reputation from before, but it's an 
uphill climb.

i dunno, maybe, if you want a fast awd 4 door sedan?  Maybe for whatever 
reason you prefer audi and that's enough?  Probably some requriements are 
in order if you want a real answer.

Probably no one here can answer that... if you want that to change, you 
should probably write AoA a letter & send via the post office.
