Beautiful car ! I think Sakimano made a valid point ... US and Canada are different markets BUT when you can go on cars.com and find 49 2008 RS4's, I believe pricing anywhere becomes negotiable ...

 

I beg to differ. The markets need to adjust or else Canadians take their business down south. Still.. amazing car!

 

SOLD!
Aparently when it comes to RS4 there is never such thing as "bad economy"

 

What did you sell it for?

 

84000$

 

I agree that the US and CDN difference is huge, however, all you need is one anxious buyer who will pay more to make a sale. Given the low amount of ready to go CDN warranty RS4's a seller can mark it up. I actually went to a Broker who brings cars across the line and when we started to work the numbers the savings widdled down real fast and then their was the issues of warranty and vehicle history.

 

Audi/VW US warranty does transfer over from the US.

Madman, what did this vehicle importer want to charge to bring the car in for you?

 

He noted some warranty problems with clients that had brought up cars when our dollar was above par. Its supposed to transfer but when things went wrong there were a few snags and the process was troublesome.

He was going to charge $1,000 - I know him and he goes down often for other cars (that said his business has really slowed with the depreciation of our dollar). After that there was exchange, and a 6% duty and taxes ... if i recall correctly. In the end I was going to likely save about $3,000 and end up with a cars that had more mileage and a lesser known history.

 

It is not just about the factory warranty,is also about the CPO (Certified Pre-Owned) status that increases the existing factory warranty by 2 years/40000 km and when it comes to an RS4 especially,it makes a big difference as the smallest repair may take all those savings made importing the vehcle down the drain.

 

With regards to CPO, yes that won't transfer over, but all you have to do is go down to the US to have that part honored. Also, if you have a US CPO warranty you get an additional 2 yrs or 160,000 km's instead of Canada's 2 yrs 120,000 km's, so you get more coverage from the US just the small nuisance to take the car back to the US depending on how far you are from the closest US dealer. May not be an issue for someone who doesn't drive much, but I know I drive between 30k and 50k a year so the added 40k's of coverage is worth something too.
