my dad is about to get a new car.....i personally want him to get an audi S4 (so that i can drive it also..hehe) does anyone know the resale value of it? that's a big deal to him and so right now he is considering the lexus gs300 since it has a good resale value(blah)....also how hard would it be to get an a new M3? any other suggestions for cars for about 40k?

Look on:

for resale value of the S4. If he's not on the waiting list for the M3 already, it's gonna be hard. The telephone works best for this....

About 40K?

Acura 3.5 RL
Chrysler 300M (more like 30K)
Infinity I30t (31~K)
Sabb 9-5 Aero
Volvo C70 Hi-pressure turbo
Volvo S80 T6
Lincoln LS V8
BMW 540i sport

My 4DSC

Acura 3.2CL Type S...
drove that car and fell in love...
too bad it was about $10k out of my price range.

the type s's are sweet,and sure they have excellent resale value.

THOSE PICTURES ARE SO SAD!!!

the acura cl type s is definitely the way to go. For forty grand you could get one of these totally loaded, and have about 10g to pimp it out. My bet is about half the mods available to the accord will fit it, so far as suspension and so on.

S4's are nice - but for that same amnt of cash id rather have an m3 - and yes i would tough out a year for a new m, but thas just me , S4's are sweet but cmon 330hp stock - just blows the S4 outta the water - M3's retain there value - for example a 98 m3 with 36k miles still costs about 35-37G

At least in the NW, Audi's have excellent resale value. I was looking at A4s back in May, and it didn't seem like they depreciate at all. I would choose the M3 every time, but it is at least $50k. My next car will probably be a used M3, once I'm over 25 and married and can afford the insurance.

Is this "forty grand" in Canadian dollars? Cuz if you're talkin american, there must be a mistake. They cost 42k Canadian up here, which translates to like 28k. ?????
Let me know, I'm very interested to see where that price was taken from?
