How Much Should You Pay?
There are generally few C32s around (either new or used), so there's not much track record. There are also few deals on C32s and I would be careful to find out why one was being offered at too low a price. Some dealer's even ask surcharges for new ones. I decided to buy new if that's any hint. If you order and wait you get the exact color and options you want; there are also occasionally new ones popping up at dealers. Watch here and at www.C32life.com. But if you are lucky enough to find a used one exactly like you want in good shape, why not go for it?
Some factors to consider:1) mileage and condition (how was it maintained and driven? You could do some wierd things behind the wheel of a C32), 2) market and location, 3) your desire to buy, 4) the seller's need to sell. How bad do they need to sell and how much do you want to buy is where it's at. Like they say, what it's worth to you is what it's worth.

Not more than 46k
Options, and whatever else you want. "Your money will not burn a hole in your pocket." So get what "You" want, at the price "You" want to pay.

Actually, C32's retain their value very well. 46k for a used C32 is a great price... for the seller anyway 
. Loosing only 4k off the MSRP is not that much.

my sales's C32 is around 10 month old with 3000 something miles on it. he sold it himself for around 52k. i'm guessing that unless the C32 has a LOT of miles on it, the seller can probably still get maybe 50k on the car. the oldest C32 delivered will only be a year old in October. that's in the U.S. market

interesting responses...
the blue book value is not really out yet, but if you look at the value of a 00 Audi A6 4.2 (which cost about the same and no where near as rare), the value is listed at 44k. Why would you think the C32, which is much more rare and hand assembled engine, would be less? Im guessing about 47 and up is right. I wouldnt part with my car now for less than 50k! Thats right... I said it. Not a penny less .
And I bet I would get quite a few takers. If you find one for 45k, first question if its been in an accident. If not, buy it. Its a steal.
