What made you change your mind?

ocrane

Ive been thru 4 cars since an Audi S4 that I loved.... time to go back to what works...

tanktube67

how bad you want to get rid off it?
how much are you willing to lose?
it is a use car now, sorry
Merry X-mas

ocrane

Im not eager to get rid of it at all... if there is a good offer...then I will get rid of it

ZedStyle

buyer's remorse is a b!tch, but you haven't even had the car long enough to fart in it...
good luck with your sale, hopefully you won't lose too much money on it

wase4711

figure on losing at least 15% dude..

I gotta say those are two different cars. One is awd, one isn't. One is sporty, the other sports. One is much stiffer, tuned, etc., the other isn't. I'd a preferred the s4 too if I coulda swung it, but couldn't - or more realistically, didn't want to swing it for the cost/value.

So I gotta ask, why get the Merc in the first instance?

and my advice? keep the merc for a year or two until the b8 s4 comes. Then trade to dealer or sell on your own. Right now you'd only be buying the outgoing b7 s4 anyway. That is, unless you thought about getting the dead sexy S5???

The merc dont get me wrong is just an incredible car. Im not eager to get rid of it ... Ive had 6 cars in the last 2 years.. And I feel like the audi was the best option. (and mosy fun) Its not really buyers remorse because I dont feel bad about buying this car at all. The C300 is a beautiful car...
Just throwing it out there. If someone was looking to buy and wants to save off of sticker, then fine

Im actually wouldnt get a b7.. I would get a b6, I love the way the b6 feels. Ive driven a handful of b7's and they just dont feel like an 04 or 05. Just personal preference I guess

If you are a real car nut as you stated (changed 6 cars in 2 years and want to get rid of the C in less than a week), I would definitely wait for the B8. Both the exterior and interior of the B6 or even B7 are so dated now (I come from a B7) and I am unsure it will make you happier.

The B8 S4 will have a much better chassis with the turbo V6 setup and it will be a lot more fun and mod options than the current S4's V8. The look is also a killer with the LED front lighting setup and if I can wait (since my wife totaled the B7 in my another thread), it will be a diffcult choice for me to make between C or B8.

If you cannot wait, go for a S5 or A5 and you will definitely not regret again of your purchase.

so I decided to sell it..... $30k its in the classifieds

Good luck!

peabers

Good luck... but the C300 vs. a B5 S4 is hardly a comparison. There are a few lurkers on this forum looking for 6sp. Man.

would you be interested in swapping wheels I have the sport 17s but want the 18s plus Ill give you cash to even the offer

ocrane - you may have just saved me a ton of disappointment. The lease on my B6 S4 is up in May so I have been looking around. The C-Class caught my eye and I spent some time at the local MB dealer last night. The wife and son really liked it and I was leaning towards the C300 manual which they indicated I would have to order so I would need to decide soon. I liked the feel of the C350 but losing power and manual trans at the same time was more than I could handle. Based on your experience I am a bit concerned that the C300 won't do it for me. The C63 would be a hoot but they didn't think they could find one in the timeframe I was looking for. I agree with your assesment on the B7 S4 (although the B7 RS$ is a hoot - they priced it a bit too high in my opinion). As for the waiting for the B8 S4, I fear they will do the same with that as they have with the S5 - tame it down a bit to allow more differentiation between S and RS. Let me know what you end up doing as you may have to be my automotive role model for the next few months.

Thanks

Is this car still for sale?

Cloud9

I would have bought your car if you were on the east coast. I just placed my order yesterday for the White 6sp w/ P2 though and would have cancelled it!!!

Odin

If it is still for sale I have no problem flying out and driving it home to the east coast.

tanktube67

did you send a PM to Ocrane?

Cloud9

As I mentioned in my post above, I just ordered my Artic White/Black, 6sp, P2 and pano.

Would you mind taking a few more pictures of the car and posting it? I've not seen any White with the pano and would love to get a better look at it. My car is arriving in April.

Thanks!!
