I have an Audi and love the car but the family is growing and I thought of trading it in on a van. The dealership told me that my A4 quattro 2.0T 6 speed was only worth $8500. They told me that the car doesn't hold it's value and being a 6 speed hurts as well. The car is in great shape-no dents-scratches dings. It does have 75k miles. I told them they were crazy-----I'm right aren't I? I decided to keep my car and told them to shove it. I appreciate your feedback! Replies to this message: pat (Sep 29, 2009 5:37 am)

I think they don't hold their value because of the cost of maintenance. I had the sweetest deal about six months ago. A 2009 A4 3.2Q, fully loaded, lease for $550/month, including tax, for 36 months. But I couldn't do the deal because of the trade-in, they offered $13K for my 2005.5 A4 3.2Q, fully loaded, had 50K miles at the time. You'll be better off trying to sell it privately.
