After years of my wife resisting German cars in favor of fwds from Asia I think I have her interested in the new A4. ( Must confess that I am hooked on BMW's)
We are still in the dithering stage but basicly will be getting the manual Xmission model ( should be available soon) Sport package. upgraded cloth. Roof, Questions If anyone can assist me or direct me.
I would like to get the ambiant temp read out but it appears that it is not available without the winter package. Washington state is a rather mild clime so I do not kow if it is worth it. Does anyone know if it is available without the package or if the package is worth the $700.00 they are asking.
Is the upgraded Stereo a good unit? I know that the one in some German cars not mentioned here is only adiquit. Her present car is a Celica GTS with the 10 speaker system and is really great so I am hoping this will make her feel at home.
Now to the meat and potatoes,
Will this car hold it's value in the resale world? Some of the older ones seem to take a bigger hit than I am comfortable with.
Is there a buyers group out there that can get some leverage on prices?
The only dealer I spoke to said that these are going out close to list, implyed that I might be able to get a little knock but not much! I would welcome suggestions or comments from others as to what to expect to pay for one of these critters... I am not shy about traveling to get a car either.
thanx in advance RayK 635Csi, 2002 Well, they are from the right country
