T’was only a few days ago I !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! about needing help finding something to replace my !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! 2016 Wrangler I purchased in November. I was planning on holding off until November (marking 1 year of ownership), until I got the trade-in value....

$29,000

I paid $30,790 out the door for it 5 Months ago (I did tint it and change wheels). Needless to say, I’m taking advantage of it.

What I shall be leaving with:

2009 Audi S5 4.2 V8
77K
Meteor Grey Pearl Effect
Magma Red Leather (looks like a strip club)
6-Speed Manual
Tech Package (Nav, backup cam, etc)
Comfort Package (Keyless entry, BLIS)
Bang & Olufson Sound
Warranty

Final Thoughts?

DO IT.

Talk about an upgrade. Glad things are gonna work out for the best.

Talk about an upgrade. Love the S5, especially back when it still had that throaty V8. Very nice car!

Talk about a coincidence.

told you! Best thing about Jeep ownership. They don’t understand how depreciation works (the exact OPPOSITE of that Audi!)

I’d get one just for the B&O speakers.

Just look at it!

Man, everybody on here is buying cars and I’m still trying to save funds. Wasn’t there another opponaut who bought an Audi S4 yesterday? Next thing you know, the Audis will be dethroning the FiST and FoST as the oppo car of choice.

Also, I need that Audi. It looks gorgeous and how could anybody say no to a German v8 mated to a 6-speed manual?

Mine are not nearly as pretty...but still sound great.

I almost did say no...I look at this guy today

It’s a really good price...it’s a 2010 (rare) with 57k for $27,000. The V10 was absolutely intoxicating, but I’m just not ready for a automatic and insurance wa$’nt $o nice to me.

And who could blame you for saying no to a German v8 in favor of that? Those had the v10 out of the Gallardo right?

$1,700 is a small price to pay to find out you didn’t care for the wrangler.

I think I drove a TJ once, lifted with tires and still really bumpy compared to my XJ. No way.

A power-neutered version of the Gallardo V10...wasn’t insanely quick given the weight of this thing, but still moved like nothing else. It just so happened to be an additional $1,000 a year to insure.

That V8 in the Audi is nice but I’m happy with my BMW S65! The V-8 S5 is nice (especially the sound) but I have driven quite a few of them and never really cared for the steering on them. Anyway, Nice choice!

How’s this for luck? I finally have to funds to buy the car I want but I can’t live in America to do that. Instead, I’m in Singapore where a VW Polo costs US$81,000.

Oppos in America: Marry me so I can buy me the car I saved for lol

Sweet!

And where you get more money, tune, slightly lower (no stancing!) and box flare that bitch :D

I love wide bodied AMGs, but Audis look really cool with them too.

Edit: Never mind its almost 10k more but still not bad

That sucks man. I remember reading your post a while back about your friend offering to marry you. Any plans on returning to the US in the future?

Lol yeah!

I want to return, but I don’t know when. It depends on my work....right now, business is down and they are firing people from the States because they are more expensive to keep employed.

I’m not sure when thats going to change.

Yeah, it’s rough out there. Hoping you get a chance to return to ‘Murica some day.

DO IT. Had a B8 S4 and loved it. Put an AWE exhaust on it and you’ll be set. The stock exhaust is so wimpy. Maintenance wise the only thing you’ll want to be weary of IMO is Carbon buildup, and to find out if it’s ever been cleaned out for that.

Congrats! Looks fucking awesome!

I suggest you get an AWE tuning exhaust down the road to unleash that V8 a bit more.

Auto Imports - Nice! These guys have a lot of really cool stuff there. Old e9s, air cooled porsches etc. I bought my old GTO from them a few years ago. Have fun with that S5, I’m trying to coerce my friend to purchase one so I can take it for a spin.
