I also recently started wondering about this too once I saw YT videos of people with POV cams driving around their S4's, and mine seems a bit quicker than theirs. I am also considering that cameras...

This is probably of no help, but I had an issue with the fuel pump on my A4.

I can't quite make out what's written on the back quarter panel but might want to take it off.

That level of personalization could turn off other potential buyers who don't care for it.

Agreed. I think mileage is far more subjective than other measures of a non-collector car.

Ultra low mileage cars are probably hit-or-miss value wise because if you're talking about reliability,...

So you asked about 2015-16 S4. I have a 2014, which is a B8.5 too, so I think answers from a '14 owner is also valid.

I paid about the same price 2 weeks ago for a similar-ish 2014 S4 but mine had 30k miles. I'm also in Virginia.
Agreed with togatown, it's a fair price.

Sunroof tilts up for no reason

Got a 07 A4. At random times, the sunroof has a habit of just popping up.
I'll be driving, hot or cold out, even right after I get out of the car, it'll pop up.
Anyone hear of this?

Depends on the dealership more than your experience, IMO.
