lol, im still debating on getting a 330ci Zhp or a 2004 S4, what do you think?

concept84 · 05-22-2008, 06:53 PM

Between those two I'd always go for the S4. But then again I've owned three of them in the past two years.

I had an 02 S4, an 04, and an 05. All amazing cars, all very fun, and super luxurious. I have friends that liked them so much they traded in their cars to get S4's. Gas mileage was very poor though, especially with the V8. I averaged around 12 MPG with both the 04 and the 05. On the plus side I never had any issues with any Audi, and I've owned quite a few.

Never owned a 330, but I've owned an 05 M3 and an 05 Z4, and I must say that both cars are boring, overly hyped, and over priced. After the initial happiness of owning a performance BMW went away, the cars just didn't deliver.

If you are definitely going the sedan route there is no better car out there than the S4. It performs amazing in all weather, feels fast in any gear, handles and brakes well, and most importantly (for a lux sedan) drives like a civilized ultra-luxury sedan when you are just cruising.

I'll also add that I haven't found anything that delivers the same feel and experience of driving a Porsche, but if you could translate that experience to a sport sedan the S4 so so close.

Hope that helps!

DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!! no offense, but I have people low balling me, and I'm willing to take $17,500, and I feel my Box is alittle nicer! Again, no offense, just my opinion. Good for you.

That is a beautiful car.

Congrats. You got an awesome price for it! That's like what a 01 or 02 S fetches!

I once got offered allot of cash for my car. WELL north of the bluebook value.
It was at one of these "west coast customs" type places where half the guys walking around did hard time. I thought the guy was full of crap but the owner who I know told me the guy wasn't kidding. He said a good "segment" of his customers are in "cash businesses" where they have lots of "cash" sitting around and they have no credit. They can't walk into a dealer and pay cash for the cars otherwise the dealer has to report them to the IRS who then start asking questions about why they have so much "cash" around. So they offer to buy cars from "regular" people at huge premiums so that the car sale or loan never registers under their name.

xxxalexxxx · 05-22-2008, 07:57 PM

wow i cant believe u got that much for it...man i bought my car about a yr ago for much much much much much less then that and its a 2001 haha. thats awesome but in my area they definitely go for much less than that

as far as the next car, i say go with the s4, they're amazing cars...but its a biased opinion as i own one

otherwise, if buying a bmw id go with an M3

good luck with the next purchase and let us know what you decide on

I'll have to remember to advertise my car around crack houses whenever I decide to sell it. I would have to wonder though when you deposit $20k or more in the bank in cash and they report it to the IRS (which I'm sure they would) wouldn't the IRS want to know who that money came from?

I think if you would deposit less than $10,000 a few times over a few weeks at different bank locations you would be ok, although this could be structuring. Anything over that amount the bank will have you fill out a Currency Transaction Report. If you try to deposit $9,999 twice more than likely the bank will generate a Suspicious Activity Report that gets sent to law enforcement agencies that deal with financial crimes. I would imagine all you have to do is prove that the cash is from the sale of a vehicle and you wouldn't have a problem, I'm sure cash vehicle deals happen all the time.

That is some funny stuff! I was once offered 100 kilos for my car.
