I haven't seen details of sales yet, but I'm gonna guess that most of em are leases, and after that 4yr or 80k, we'll get trade ins.. we have tons of used cars on our lot

i'm also possibly thinking of trading in my lude for an a4 1.8t and finance the remainder hahahaha
the lude is a sweet car, but it is for sure the most costly car to maintain of all honda, for that cost, i can try something euro...

However from being on the VW boards, and knowing people with Mk4's, I know that the newer ones do have alot more problems.
What do you have to do to get a job as a car salesman? I was always interested in that.

how much is a 02-03 1.8T A4 going for USED, not the lowest KMs, but something decent like about 20k annual would be decent... so i say about 75000-100000km consider a 4ish year car.
and how much do you think a trade-in value for a 98 lude SH would go for? you can PM me if this needs to go private. (i'm just looking for a rough estimate) because i know i might be better off selling my car privately and part out the upgrades i have.

lemme bookmark this thread and keep that in mind... I wouldn't suggest trade in... cuz you'll never get the best value for your car... I'll have to get prices on the used cars and check for ya
