I currently have a 2005 Audi a4 1.8t...Im graduating from college in a year...I was lookin to pick up a new car...even though i only have 25k miles on the clock i feel the more i drive it the less im going to get on trade in....anyone have suggestions...

looking for:
*sedan or coupe
*preferred all wheel drive
*40k-50k price range
*audi, mercedes, bmw, or lexus
*semi reliable (current vehicle has been in the shop numerous times)

 

The German cars (with only non-Germans Toyota and Lexus) are the most reliable cars being built today, so with the reliability you're good.

AWD means BMW X-drive, Audi quattro or MB 4matic.

I'd say (even though I have no clue about pricing in the USA)

- A4 B8 (or A5) 1.8TFSI / 3.2 FSI quattro
- BMW 325 / 325
- Is the new C-class available in the USA yet?

 

Order the new A5

 

how about my '07 S4 w/ 5k miles on it?

It pretty much fits right into your criteria and if you like your A4 you'll love an S4!

 

your choice...S4 or S5...nothing good out there besides those 2.
AWD - audi is the way to go imo.
