You thought that Audi you bought lost it's value quickly? You thought wrong. In a desperate attempt to shed the troubled Karma, owners are selling their once trendy $110,000 cars for less than half of MSRP and in many cases such as this one, even less.
For $40,000 you could be sitting pretty in a car that as recently as a few months ago was still selling for $110,000. The question is do you want to and the answer to that is still a resounding no. Never mind the fact that the car had dubious build quality, that real world mileage wasn't very impressive or that it was outperformed by cars 1/5th it's price. The real problem lies in the defective batteries installed in all but 100 of the 2200 Karmas sold, defective batteries that will eventually fail and now with no company backing the car or paying for warranty work, even owners with deep pockets might find themselves facing a near future where their Karma might decide not to go.
