Scotch A6

CPO = Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle.

A dealer will tack on about $2000 to the price of a used vehicle if they certify it. The CPO extends the original warranty from 4yr/50k to 6yr/100k.

Obviously if you buy a car and try and sell it in the first year of ownership, you can expect to lose your shirt, and your pants for that matter. Heck, if you think you're going to sell it in the first 3 years you'll lose a ton. Most of your depreciation occurs when you drive it off the dealer lot. That's why I research the hell out of a vehicle before I buy, because unless you have a lot of money laying around, you better make sure you're getting the right vehicle.

I understand your dilemma though, my car is only 6 mos. old and sometimes I wonder if I should have gone a different route. Then I get out and drive and realize I love my car. There will always be something a bit better, but I'm just going to enjoy what I have.

When I traded in my 2011 A5 with less than 5000 miles last year for my A6 I got about 25 cents on the dollar for my extended warranty and wheel insurance. Good luck.

I don't want this dilemma, so I'm going to wait until the RS6 is released before I decide on my next Audi.

Understood... good call.

However, IMHO, owners of the S6 will not feel the same pressure to go to an RS6. Maybe I say that as an owner of an S6 that would be kicked out of the house if I traded in a year.... ;-)

When is the RS6 coming out? Has it been released in Europe?

RS6 has not been announced yet - RS7 will be first. No RS6 sedan for US, but possibly in limited run avant version for US

dnebout

Are you saying that there will never be an RS6 for the US?

I traded a BMW two years old in for a 2012 Q and requested a refund on the remaining balance of the extended and wheel warranty and received 3/5 of the value back from BMW.
