May be selling it to get a more kid friendly something. What should a dealer give me on a trade and what might I fetch privately? PM me if any interest.

2008 Sprint/silver/titanium
clear bra, 70% ceramic tint, built in Laser diffuser and V1.
9,100 miles (all highway) 24 hour heated garage with cover.

Thoughts?

zero issues except small rash on rear right rim (only visible from close inspection).

The infant seat (rear facing variety) won't fit and allow a passenger in front, hence my wife is riding left rear next to the kid. Truly wish it wasn't the case but it is just too cramped. Me and the 11 week old luv the car but the wife is none too pleased.

Remember, the infant car seat changes to forward facing at 20lbs. That's usually only a year of age or slightly less.

I cart my 9 and 11 year old girls all over the place in the RS4...no problems. And, when they were younger, I had a B5 S4.....again, no problems.

Yours is a very temporary situation so don't let go of a phenomenal vehicle.

you can buy an old C5 A6 2.7T or 4.2 for 10k topsfor the kids and keep the RS4 for a weekend car.

I had my 2 kids 5 and 3 in the back of mine for over a year. They had plenty of room back there. A 3rd kid...that is a different story. That is the reason I had to sell mine...much to my chagrin. I would seriously reconsider selling.

because you are going to need it. The used car market is terrible right now and dealers are discounting unsold new RS4's. I would guess the dealer will give you $56K and you can sell it to a private party for $60K. Hopefully I have made pessimistic guesses.

I just bought an RS4 and will be putting my twin girls and therefore two rear facing car seats into it. It is not the "full time" car for the girls so I found seats that fit ok (I'm a bit cramped in the driver seat), but I figure when they turn one I will be much more comfortable. Now if this is the car that the child seat is in all the time...I don't see how it will work.
By the way I chose the Maxi Cosi Priori seats. They are a european design a significantly smaller than the HUGE american seats. Good Luck

I have two girls and the car is plenty big.

I've got two kids in car seats and they both fit back there - in fact with LATCH it is easy to get the seats in and out. I'm a little close to the wheel in the driver side when one if behind me, but it is very doable...

Big benefit to consider - when that little tot is having a tuff time sleeping, put him/her in the car seat for a little ride. The sound &amp; vibration (particularly if you have an exhaust mod) is the best lullaby I have ever found. They'll be soundly sleeping in 5 minutes, then you can have fun driving in the meantime.

Ancillary benefit - your child goes to sleep to the sound of a sweet V8, they are sure to grow up loving cars...

I do luv the car but in addition to a tight squeeze currently there is limited luggage space. I am hauling strollers and all kinds of sh!t around hence looking at a Cayenne or Land Rover. Wish the RS6 Avant was on shore but that doesn't seem to be in the works.

Back to the question...what is my car worth?
