Hi New guy looking to buy an 03 04 s55

Hello Everyone. Been lurking a while, but now I'm coming close to purchasing a car so I have a few questions.

I'm currently on the market looking at 03-04 s55s, and was wondering..

-can the factory warranties(extended or not) be transferred to me?
and the factory warranties are 4yrs + 3yrs extended correct?
-how hard is it to resell these higher priced cars when the warranties end?
do you guys usually resell or just trade in?
and how much should i expect to lose to the dealers during trade ins?
-any key questions in particular to ask about the s55s when inspecting them?

Sorry for the questions. As you can tell I'm just worried about what to do once warranty ends for these vehicles. I don't have too much experience in the car market yet. I've just recently finished my degree and landed a stable job so this will be my first big purchase. I'm excited since I've been in a tiny audi a4 the past 3 years.
