Go for the S4; it's *more* than a full second faster in the 0-60.

Both look like they've been beaten with an ugly stick; go 2005.5+ on
the S4 for one of the best looking Audis made in quite a while,
IMHO...and debadge the V8 emblems.  However, if you're in search of a
bargain, the pre-2005.5's are much cheaper.

cars.com and autotrader.com are your abusive* friend; the people on
AW/QW seem to think their cars are worth more than KBB dealer...

*Dealers can't properly set transmission and "AWD" to save their
lives.  One even listed an avant as a coupe.  I've also seen numerous
cases of dealers using obviously wrong photos- like an A3 2.0TQ listed
as having magnetic suspension, but the photos showed 17" wheels.
Supposedly 18's were "required" options-wise.
