Yeah, it is brutal. Great value if you can find one that is like 1 year old traded in by a trophy wife that didn't like it. I just need to find one of those with the options I like. Saw one that had 5k miles and was 6 months old, flawless...40% off sticker

these cars depreciate fast so makes sense just to get a lightly used one.

i remember seeing a m5 going for 90K new, and one that was like 2yrs old with less than 25k miles was going for $55k+ at carmax. wow... 35K loss in 2yrs?

I bought a 540i M-sport 6MT (poor man's M5) that was 6 years old in great shape for 11% of the sticker price. Put 200,000 bonus miles on it and sold it (still running well) for 8% of sticker.

Do the S5s still need the carbon cleaned off the valves and out of the intake tract often and at the owners expense, or has that been fixed?

That issue is a bit overblown IMO, certainly doesn't warrant cleaning "often"

The dealers here will do it during the warranty period if it is needed, after that it's on you.

When I looked at S5s a few years back, some owners posted dyno sheets of very significant power loss. 20+whp down after 20k miles or so and Audi didnt consider it a problem until it started running badly.

I think those guys had the S5 equivalent of my 370z

Oh, you wanted leather and zenons on your $40k "luxury" car? That'll be $15k.

The height of German pricing ridiculousness is that you can option up a 4 cylinder 5 series (528i) in excess of $70k (close to $80k if you add everything).
