Certified Pre-Owned: 2004 - 2008 Audi S4 - Car and Driver
Challenge your average gearhead to come up with the name of a car that has rally-racing heritage, all-wheel drive, and something near 300 horsepower, and you’ll probably get an answer that includes the words “Mitsubishi” or “Subaru. ” But the Audi S4 , the performance variant of the A4 line, fits that criteria, too, and its 340-hp V-8 offers far more grunt than the turbo fours from Japan. The third-generation S4 arrived in the U. S. for the 2004 model year in sedan, wagon (Avant), and convertible (cabriolet) versions, all with the aforementioned 340 horsepower—and 302 pound-feet of torque—from a 4. 2-liter, DOHC 40-valve V-8. In... Only the convertible was offered as a 2009. the other versions were phased out in anticipation of the new 2010 model. Audi’s certified pre-owned (CPO) program lets you buy an S4 with a new-car warranty at a used-car price. Audi won’t say how much its CPO program adds to a used car’s sticker, but a quick look at online classified ads shows that dealer asking prices for S4s seem to be in line with those of many private sellers. Used Audis that are candidates for CPO sale automatically go through a long qualifying checklist when they get turned in at the dealer. Source: www.caranddriver.com
