timing belt was just done 3000 miles ago... ya I get that the engine isn't "practically new"... just put in a descriptor haha... I mean also, I have to check out the 2 year warrantee that I'm getting too to see what it includes... (hopefully everything)... its just such a beast!!! And a chip will bring it over 500 HP... I don't know... I'm just glad some people on here think its a grey area and not just black and white... gives me some promise lol

Honestly, sounds like you have already made up your mind.... and it's your $'s and life so do what you want.... You only live once so enjoy it.... RS6's are bad ***... I'll wait until I can buy a new one again... Now I would dump my S4 tonight to be able to do that....

And Saks... I put 35,000 CDN down on the S4.. had a chunk of change. (Purchase not a Lease... and am paying 400/Month) for 3 years... at the end of the 3 years I will have a balance to pay of about 30,000 dollars or so... My logic is if I trade in my S4 now I can get lets say 45k or whatever (just saying a number) that basically pays for the RS6 in cash (Straight Trade... may even get money back)... and saves me 3 years of payments and 30,000 dollars, that I would either have to refinance or buy out or give the S4 in and have nothing to show. I own the RS6 FREE AND CLEAR by trading in the S4 now and even if I need to repair/replace or tune I still save money... that's my logic...

Holy crap, someone needs to take a Finance 101 class. Go buy the RS6, we'll all be here to tell you we told you so when it ends up being a money pit.

How much do S4's freakin cost in Canada??

35k down, 400/mo for 3 years ($14.4k) plus another 30k when you're done?!

Jesus man... yeah, just get the Rs6...

35k down here would have given more than a free lease for 3 years and then a purchase of $20k or so in 2014. lol. That's just nuts.

Hey, what color is the RS6... if it's anything but grey, get it. (I always see grey ones... yawn).

ya theyre more expensive here... base for the "premium" package is 58,800 plus b+o, rear diff etc.. you're looking at mid 60's plus freight tax etc... 73-74k (canada)... sorry it was 300/month not 400..
