for an elite-level /expendible/reliable/ and fun daily driver, see if you can test a later model 2001 Audi S8 (recent new editions have meant big drops in previous yrs models)

if you need a 4-door Sedan, I've seen devaluations also for the Jag XJ-R Sedan and XJ-8

I haven't heard anything regarding their maintence or upkeep requirements however...
