Two years from now, How much will this be worth?

This 2011 A5 has 76,582 miles. It's priced for $19,642 currently.

In 2 years, How much do you think it'll be worth? Let's say it's got 100,000 miles then. I ask, Because these are extremely Sexy.

honestly, if Audi brings the A5 in TDI and AWD, i have a feeling my dads A3 TDI would be going up for sale almost instantly

RIIIGHTHTTTT! For a four year old car, That originally cost double that it's a great deal. It's also got manual transmission, Which not many of those have.

Haha, Currently I could probably afford select pieces of the car!

ehhh. GF really likes the toyobaru...and I wouldnt mind having one to be honest...

but at the same time, i need something thats capable of hauling stuff for my motorcycles...but I want something RWD and manuals...but it would also be a winter-used car....ARG

wonder how much a used golf R will be at that point in time

jkm7680 > bob and john 01/10/2015 at 19:26

0

You could probably get a Golf R for the same price as a Toyobaru, But Rwd in Canadialand wouldn't be optimal I'm guessing.

Manuél Ferrari > jkm7680 01/10/2015 at 20:33

0

oh man this is a tough one

It has the correct transmission (long live Manuél)

But the mileage is super high for the year and this car is very slow in stock form. Yes you can tune it but not everyone is comfortable with that.

The looks and transmission are pluses; engine, weight and miles are minuses.

It will probably fall to $15,500 after two years if at 100K miles.

Spaceball-Two > jkm7680 01/10/2015 at 20:34

I'll take the blame.

The 2.0T wasn't bad at all! My B7 A4 had one, It served it's purpose pretty good.

The mileage is high for the year, But the price still sounds right to me and Lord Manuel.

jkm7680 > Spaceball-Two 01/10/2015 at 20:40

Haha, Being reminded that these exist was great!

The entire profile of that car, Mhmmmmmm. Completely forgot about the curves.

Manuél Ferrari > jkm7680 01/10/2015 at 20:43

1

It's not bad at all in the right car! But I test drove the A5 with it once when it first launched. Damn it was slow for the money!

It's not a light car. Quattro adds weight. It really needs a 6 or 8 cylinder engine to have the scoot to match the looks. Cause it is THE best looking sedan-bases coupe of the last 10 years!

jkm7680 > Manuél Ferrari 01/10/2015 at 20:52

There's both that 3.2 and the 2.0t to choose from. Either way, Performance goodies would be needed. It does look incredible though, Love every detail of the exterior and interior.

The upsides of the 3.2 include that you can get the AWE Tuning touring exhaust for it. (Which, as you can probably tell from how much I post about wanting one on whatever I get next.)

Everything is going to be attached to a turbo in the next 20 years! Nothing wrong with a turbo, But the good thing about not having a turbo is not having to replace it.

Manuél Ferrari > jkm7680 01/10/2015 at 23:44

Exactly!

Everything will be turbo SOON

So NA will be nostalgic

And no turbo or inter cooler to replace

Let's stock up on Manuél NA cars and keep tbem in good shape.

When we are old we will still be driving them. We will be the most interesting gentlemen around. Our cars will seem so old school to everyone.

jkm7680 > Manuél Ferrari 01/11/2015 at 14:30

Hahaha, My A4 is NA. So I guess that counts, It's in good enough shape.

Manuél Ferrari > jkm7680 01/11/2015 at 14:33

yessss

And once the R8 V8 falls to $50K we have to buy one no matter what

Even if we don't have monies we have to buy it

We can get hard money loans if necessary

jkm7680 > Manuél Ferrari 01/11/2015 at 14:34

Remember about our plan to steal a bunch of them! We'll just do that!

Manuél Ferrari > jkm7680 01/11/2015 at 14:36

1

Ah yes

So many plans

What color do you want?

If I could only have one then blue

If two then blue and white

If three then blue and white and black

If four then add dark grey

If five then add silver

jkm7680 > Manuél Ferrari 01/11/2015 at 14:39

1

If I could have one- Black.

Two- White and black.

Three- White, black, Blue.

Four- White, black, blue, silver.

Five- Lots.

Manuél Ferrari > jkm7680 01/11/2015 at 14:43

1

our #4 is very close!

Blue is my fav but black or dark grey is more stealth

And stealth is good if making it a DD

White looks so good too though cause the black and CF really stick out

I really want one right now. I could trade the 997 and E90 in for one. I even saw a black V10 Manuél for $99K the other day.

But the E90 M3 is my only practical car. And the 997 is so reliable and fuel efficient.

It's so hard to say goodbye to cars that you like! I don't want to give any up. I want to keep them all forever

jkm7680 > Manuél Ferrari 01/11/2015 at 14:46

Don't you have one open garage bay? :)

A white R8, With black wheels and carbon fiber sideblades would be awesome. I just can't into white cars though. My old A4 was white, and was impossible to keep clean for more than 30 seconds at a time.

Get an R8 though! Just imagine all the gated shifts!

Manuél Ferrari > jkm7680 01/11/2015 at 14:52

0

really? My white E90 stays clean better than the black 997! It hides dust really well. I guess black is just the worst though

I did have an open garage bay. I may have filled it with a secret car ;)

jkm7680 > Manuél Ferrari 01/11/2015 at 14:54

Haha, It totally got covered in dirty water every single time it rained. Which was a lot. :P

Ooooh Oooohhh, I wanna know tell me tell me!!!

Manuél Ferrari > jkm7680 01/11/2015 at 14:58

wat is rain?

We don't have that here

I'll give you hints:

Has gated shifter

Has 6 forward gears

Is soft top. Per Top Gear it performs 99% as well as coupe

Haha, We get rain AAAANNNDDD snow.

Lemme guess, Ferrari 355 Spider? Or 360 or 348???!?!?!?!?!?

Manuél Ferrari > jkm7680 01/11/2015 at 15:05

weirdly enough it's raining today

Once every 4-5 years we get more than 3 days a year of rain

The spider part was right :)

jkm7680 > Manuél Ferrari 01/11/2015 at 15:09

Jeez, That's not much rain at all! We get rain maybe once very week, More or less depending on the time of year. :)

430 Spider?

Manuél Ferrari > jkm7680 01/11/2015 at 15:19

1

It's actually a big problem! California has a serious drought.

Yes!

jkm7680 > Manuél Ferrari 01/11/2015 at 15:45

1

Yup, We're probably getting all that rain you west coast folks have been missing.

OMG, AWESOME! Haha, That sounds amazing. We need a reveal at some point!

Manuél Ferrari > jkm7680 01/11/2015 at 17:34

1

rain is good! It makes it possible for plants to grow and people to drink. And makes Quattro useful, haha. I have zero AWD cars because I almost never have weather

Thanks! Yes the reveal is very past due. It still doesn't feel like my car yet. I bought it out of state and it's not registered in CA yet. I'm too scared to drive it. It's just an investment for now, haha.

I need R8 cause I wokkd actually drive that car. I too scared that putting miles on the F car will ruin value or cause the engine to explode

jkm7680 > Manuél Ferrari 01/11/2015 at 18:22

1

Haha, That's why I love our rain snow and my Quattro.

That's really super awesome though! Love those things. I'll bet it sounds amazing, Give us a teaser at least :)

But the great thing about the R8 is that you can totally DD it if you really wanted to. It's like car that's begging to be driven, and isn't very delicate.

Manuél Ferrari > jkm7680 01/11/2015 at 18:27

0

exactly! The R8 is a better DD than my C2. It's way more comfy and luxurious! Way nicer ride.

It does sound so good, even with stock exhaust.

Here is a teaser:

jkm7680 > Manuél Ferrari 01/11/2015 at 18:34

1

Oooooohhhh, That's so pretty! So is the M3! And the 911! And the bike! Thanks for the teaser :)

Another good thing about the R8 is that they're priced pretty great. $115,900 is the base price for the V8.

Plus dat interior! The steering wheel itself would make me love the car.

Manuél Ferrari > jkm7680 01/11/2015 at 18:58

0

The M3 is the best value ever! I bought it 10 years old with low miles (I think a tad under 30,000 at the time). It has about 42,000 miles on it now and I can probably sell it for almost the same amount I paid for it!

The F car was also good value because I paid about half what it would have been new. It had 20,000 miles.

Dat R8 interior is so nice. It's very functional. When I test drove one it felt as comfortable as an A4 inside.

The base price is really good. I wish Audi would keep Manuél in the next version. Then it would be the ultimate car. Because the interior is going to get updated and be super modern. But sadly they will probably kill Manuél :(

jkm7680 > Manuél Ferrari 01/11/2015 at 19:09

1

Jeeeez, That is good value!That's super low mileage, on the M3 and the F car!

I too wish that Audi would keep Manuél for the next one. There seem to be a really decent amount of them out there with it, I just really hope they keep it nice and functional with Manuél in there also.

Also, PLS HALP. The Porsche configurator is trying to abduct me again!

Manuél Ferrari > jkm7680 01/11/2015 at 19:42

1

Funny thing is that 20K miles is considered "high" for an F car from 2006, hahahahaha. People are so crazy. They only want to buy used F cars that have under 5K miles on them.

Oh yeah thanks for the compliment on the bike. My Dad gave it to me. Maybe I should go ride it right now cause the rain stopped.

If Audi kept Manuél in the R8 they would get some sales simply because of the transmission. Not like you can buy a car from Ferrari, Lambo or McLaren with Manuél inside! And you can't get a stick shift GT3 either.

Haha the Porsche configurator is evil!

jkm7680 > Manuél Ferrari 01/11/2015 at 19:58

1

Hahaha, Now that's crazy insanely low!

I really do hope Audi keeps it. Porsche seems to be keeping theirs around, but most other manufacturers have killed theirs off especially as far as supercars go. It's really too bad that Ferrari has stopped, The V12 Zagato was an excellent surprise. I was one in person, and was super blown back that it was an actual Manuél. Like I already wanted the car as it was, But that certainly wasn't helping! :)

Ride it! And check the weather first, Lol. Whenever I plan to do something outside of work, or my house it ends up raining. The weather and my stuff schedule seem to correspond perfectly.

But seriously, That Porsche configurator is like Hypnotoad from Futurama. I keep trying to pull myself away, But there's just so much to configure, Haha.

Manuél Ferrari > jkm7680 01/12/2015 at 01:14

1

OMG gib me V12 Zagato

I wish Porsche kept Manuél around in the GT3 :(

I didn't take the bike for a ride because the doge wanted to go out too so I took a jog with him. Don't have a leash long enough to take him for a ride. Plus he crazy and would make me fall

are you still stuck in the Porsche configurator? :)

jkm7680 > Manuél Ferrari 01/12/2015 at 08:48

1

Here's one of the pictures I got of it! I thought I'd only see it once, But like the next four times that I went back to that same Cars and Coffee it was still there but in different spaces. Somebody had driven it every Saturday from Aston Martin DC.

Haha, Doge suddenly wants to go left when you're on the bike and it looks like you're going left also like it or not :)

I also managed to escape the Porsche configurator after yearsof configuring, (I discovered that peridot color with red seats on the Cayenne.) That was when the Porsche configurator was the weakest, and realized that I had no more time to be stuck within it's grasp. After that, I escaped. But I know for certain, that the Porsche configurator will have me back within it's grasp in no time at all :)

Manuél Ferrari > jkm7680 01/12/2015 at 13:32

1

omg soooo nice!! i want

haha yes doge does change directions way too often

haha porsche configurator will grab you again next weekend for sure

jkm7680 > Manuél Ferrari 01/12/2015 at 15:32

1

It was for sale also, Not directly though.

Doge is just like "Hey, I'm going this way but you don't have a choice."

The Porsche configurator will reel me in sooner than next weekend. I give it another day, and then I'll be back at it's mercy again :)

Manuél Ferrari > jkm7680 01/12/2015 at 15:47

1

haha you are like doge. you're trying to walk straight but the porsche configurator is on the side saying "look here now!"

jkm7680 > Manuél Ferrari 01/12/2015 at 15:49

1

Hahaha, That is almost exactly what the Porsche configurator is doing to me!

I wish it would stop but I sorta like it, Haha.

Manuél Ferrari > jkm7680 01/12/2015 at 20:42

1

it's cause Porsche is owned by VAG

and it's impossible to not get sucked in by the all powerful VAG

jkm7680 > Manuél Ferrari 01/12/2015 at 20:46

1

Haha, There is a 100% chance of that being the source of my addiction to the Porsche configurator.

Luckily, I've managed to tear myself away from that one. I was configuring an M4 a few minutes ago. :)

Psscchhhh, They were confirming with me if I wanted to change from the dual clutch to the 6-Speed Manuél. They should know that they don't really need my approval for that kind of thing.

Manuél Ferrari > jkm7680 01/12/2015 at 20:47

1

niceee. what color was your M4?

haha they didn't believe that you actually wanted manuel!

jkm7680 > Manuél Ferrari 01/12/2015 at 20:48

1

It was YAAAAASSS Marina blue metallic :)

No, I'm so angry. They were like "Are you completely sure you want this?"

Manuél Ferrari > jkm7680 01/12/2015 at 20:55

1

Nobody believes that we actually love Manuél :(

YAAASS blue is nice. But not as nice as Laguna Seca Blue. Or Nogaro Blue

jkm7680 > Manuél Ferrari 01/12/2015 at 20:57

1

WE MUST MAKE THEM AFFIRM OUR LOVE FOR Manuél TO THEM.

Agreed, Those two are my favorite blues! Sonic blue isn't half bad though also.

Manuél Ferrari > jkm7680 01/12/2015 at 20:58

YES LONG LIVE MANUéL!

that blue is nice too but Nogaro Blue is BEST BLUE EVER!

jkm7680 > Manuél Ferrari 01/12/2015 at 21:01

1

IT REALLY IS!

The matching Nogaro alcantara is the part that really gets me. Love that color combination so much! If I were going to have a new S4 ever, I'd have to custom order Nogaro everything. If I can even do that, Haha. If somebody managed to order a base model A6 with Nogaro, then I can order an S4 with it.

Manuél Ferrari > jkm7680 01/12/2015 at 21:01

1

the next RS4 and RS5 better be available with Manuél and Nogaro blue!!

jkm7680 > Manuél Ferrari 01/12/2015 at 21:04

1

Oh they better :)

I really wish the Rs5 was available with Manuél. It's an awesome car either way, But it would be even more awesome with nogaro aaaand Manuél.

We need the Rs4 Avant though! Maybe the Rs6 Avant also! I was in Spain for a good chunk of time over the Summer, and drooled over at least three of them.

Manuél Ferrari > jkm7680 01/12/2015 at 21:38

do they get Manuél versions in Europe ?

jkm7680 > Manuél Ferrari 01/12/2015 at 21:41
