If you are looking at a low-mileage example of a one year old, popular luxury car, you'll be hard pressed to get 20 points off. Plus, financing Is usually higher for a used vehicle and there aren't nay manufacturer incentives.

You'll do better buying a end of model year car, when the new year models hit the lot.

20% can indeed be found, but you'll be looking at something with 15K+ miles. Also, look at a car like this carefully; generally speaking, people don't get rid of new cars after one year. Beware of "story" cars.

Agree.

Audi owns the 24 Hours of Daytona.
Owns.
It.
Those diesel cars don't break.

They aren't quite up to Lexus and Jaguar in terms of JD Power Quality surveys, but they certainly aren't "garbage". Audi is about on par with Cadillac.

SRT8 is not even close to under 50k

A fully loaded summit is over 50k

That seems horribly overpriced.

That's just my gut instinct, I haven't shopped them.

I bought a brand new overland in Dec 2012... 6 weeks later they announced the 2014 models would have a Diesel engine option... I was so mad at myself.


I do love my car though

I wish they would make a small or mid-size truck with a 4 cylinder turbo diesel. I would buy the shite out of one.

Cadillac CTS-V is the best option. You can get the sedan or the coupe.

my old boss had one and it is easily the nicest car i've ever driven (and working with him for years when he had nice cars + going through all the test drives for that one, i don't have an expert's opinion, but i've seen a bunch)

i actually was driving the A8 when it was totaled (not my fault)

one time going on i10 i hit like 90 mph without noticing b/c it just felt like you were supposed to go that fast in that car. it's ride, pickup, and comfort were just plain retarded

Why would you spend $45k on a used car? I'd just buy a new one if I'm spending that much. You can get some of the upper tier/luxury sedans and crossovers for that.
