HELP!!!! Want to buy a 2010 or 2011 Audi S4
Hey guys, so I've been on the hunt for a 2010 or 2011 Audi S4 since about last year November. Currently I drive a very lightly but nicely modded 2006 2.0 Audi A4, 6 speed, Stasis coilovers, 19X9.5 Private rims, Evolution Motor Sport Air filter, RS4 rear sway and then some light cosmetic stuff on the outside. Either way the car is pretty timid and it's really time to step it up. Pricing at the time was a big factor when searching for a newer S4, upwards of 48 to 60 grand was some of the prices I was seeing in Canada and some of those had outrageously high KM's as well.
Anyway, needless to say I'm really hungry to try and get my hands on one of these cars, so if anyone can help or offer up some places or people that have one for sale I would really, really, really appreciate it.
What I would be looking for is;
Preferably white or silver, no red, blue, or yellow
Standard a MUST
Push button start a MUST
Navi a MUST
Black and white leather Interior or just black, no red or brown at all. I can handle suede but I'm not the biggest fan due to worry about keeping stain free
Audi Drive Select I'd like but not necessarily a must as I would want to lower the car one day
The side and rear shades would be nice too but not a must
So if any of you guys out there can be of assistance please let me know, I'm itching to get one of these bad boys in my garage!
Current Ride, which will be up for sale real soon.

Have you gotten in touch with any dealers on this forum? I'd imagine there will be a ton of S4s available for you to buy with those or close to those specs.

Hmmm, I've haven't tried any of the dealers of this site, I'm gonna sound pretty newbie here but do we have a listing of dealers on this site??
I've also been hesitant with dealers as they don't give much when negotiating pricing. I've talked with a guy at Glenmore Audi that had one for sale but he said he wouldn't move a penny on price and because of the low volume of the cars in Canada he didn't really have to. Needless to say that was my last interaction with Glenmore Audi sales department. lol I've also found that dealer prices in Calgary seems to be the most expensive across Canada (good economy I guess), just really high numbers with little to no good options. I'm under the impression that if I am to get one of these cars it will either have to be from out east or the U.S. But I will search around and see if I can find a dealers listing anywhere around here and start making some calls.
thanks for the suggestion

Re: HELP!!!! Want to buy a 2010 or 2011 Audi S4
I just picked up my 2010 S4 from Steve at Glenmore Audi a couple months ago. Straight up guy to deal with but wasn't willing to move on the price. They had a special in March where they discounted the price 5% so that's all I got. The one I picked up was a lease return and wasn't listed on their website or even detailed yet, so he was willing to wait and see if he got any bites before moving on the price.
72,000km, CPO, Manual, Sport Diff, Nav, Advanced Key. When all was said and done, I got it for below the range that you listed, but not by much.
I noticed you said ADS was a maybe, but you didn't mention Sport Diff. Honestly, its a must-have option. Doesn't matter if you're going to lower it... get the sport diff.
Yeah, they're a bit more expensive in Alberta than elsewhere, but when you factor in the peace of mind of test-driving before you spend money to get there or get it shipped here, and the savings of shipping or travelling/driving back, you're not saving that much by going elsewhere.

Yeah I've seen that one for awhile now. Almost perfect but No push Button Start though and I intend on keeping this car for a long time so I gotta get something with all the bells and whistles off the hop!
Anyone know if it's possible for Audi to install a push button start if your car doesn't come with one. I'm guessing the expense is more than I could imagine if they even did it at all. And I know a new set of keys would have to be a part of that as well. I'm scarred to even inquire! lol

Yep... or learn to compromise on something if you're not finding what you want for the price you want.
If you want fully loaded, you have to be prepared to pay for fully loaded...

Congrats to you on your purchase, I'm super jealous that you got yourself one. When I finally land mine we'll have to compare notes and mods to come.
