      It's because it isn't. lol. Even with 200k+ miles on it, with a good trans, a B8 S4 goes for close to $10k all day long. It's because, other than the Mechatronics issues with them (which were addressed in the B8.5's), they're as bulletproof as a German car can be. No way you or me could buy one for anything remotely close to $1500, even with a bad DSG.
