Farewell to the S4

[Dingah]

The time has come and the S4, as sensational as it is, has been prospectively sold or traded in for a new Lexus hybrid.
Good trade-in as it should be nothing the condition and lack of mileage.
I have enjoyed the forum and the dedication to the cause shown many of you.
Best wishes.

Don't go buddy, you are a driving force behind the forum!

All the best with the new car, it has been our pleasure having you on the site.

Thanks mate.
There are many good folk here and a few that will 'mature' in time!
All my Audis have been great cars but as the possibility of 'one more car' approaches I needed to move away from the cost of ownership issues that is endemic to this brand.
Anything on the plug-in hybrid line with Audi remains ridiculously expensive, hence the move to Lexus which should not disappoint.

Kind regards to you and appreciate your past support and insights.

Change of heart - not prepared to wait more than a year for a Lexus and have gone with a Volvo....yes Volvo!
XC60 Recharge - 340+ kW and a very nice setup and brilliant quality.
Arrives in August THIS year.
Go well Team Audi

I’d stick around on the Audi side of things now that they are going into F1.
Audi are going to be the new flavour pretty soon

Hmmmm ......
F1 = hybrid + power = Volvo XC60 Recharge with 344 kW
$50k less than anything equivalent in Audi.
Imagine using regenerative braking in an e-Audi and having to bear the cost of pad and rotor replacements every 18 months at Audi's prices.
I was loyal to the brand for nearly a decade until the **** who refers to himself as a sales manager at Audi CC personally bequeathed the SQ5 that I had agreed to purchase, including having my S4 valued and deposit in-hand to another customer without so much as an apology.

Sorry to hear Dingah as that's a low act, looks like there's been many changes down that way and will certainly keep that in mind.

Take care and all the best with the recharge :)
