In all reality £9.5 - 10k

i thought maybe a little more my mate offered me £10k for it but dont know if he would be able to come up with the ££££

9.5-10K's a good estimate.

I'd turn up at your door with 10K in cash FULLY expecting to walk away with only having paid 9K.

 

[ChriS3]

i thought maybe a little more....

Just remember, your mods have de-valued the car, not added to it.

 

[stus32007]

yes and haveing bought it i had it fully serviced at audi all belts changed and new water pump , recent new wheels and a re map at awesome uprated clutch etc i have spent loads on it over the month and not selling like i bought it

 

[stus32007]

i would let it go for £10k

 

[ChriS3]

yes and haveing bought it i had it fully serviced at audi all belts changed and new water pump

With that, its worth about £10k.

recent new wheels and a re map at awesome uprated clutch etc i have spent loads on it over the month and not selling like i bought it

With that, its worth about £9k.

Did you read what Chris said?

Modification devalue the car, as people will assume its been thrased.

Personally, I'd buy a car that I knew had been tracked, and tracked hard, but I wouldnt touch a car If I thought a traffic light grand prix merchant had owned it.

The Audi service history is worth a few quid tho.


Never ever expect to get back what you have put in unless you got the car at a bargain price.

Have you had the car on VAG-COM? First thing I do when looking at a car is turn up, plug VAG-COM in, tells me if I need to continue looking....

If there's 10k on the table, grab it and throw the keys at him. It is a very good price.

I agree a 6 year old + car that cost about 20k new..? 10k is a good offer, only lost 50% of its value in 6 years!! pretty darned good IMO

And then run away with a grin on your face, as fast as you can!

Have to agree.. I mean I brought a W-Reg TT off family 2 years ago, ok I got it cheap at 10k.. Mint Car with low mileage.. 2 years later I sold it for the same price.. Take the money and go.. My S3 is a 51 plate with roughly the same mileage.. If someone offered me 10k for it I`d snap there hand off..

 

[S3-ROB]

I bought my S3 a few months ago, December 02 52 reg, 1 owner, full Audi history at same dealer, recent cambelt, michelin tyres all round, high mileage at 93k, paid £9000 for it

 

[nky_84]

id say put it up for 10 and you may get a sale, 9.5 should get you a sale, 9 if you want rid.

I paid £10.7k for my 2002 51 plate s3 with 48k a couple of months ago

 

[Smoke Breather]

I'd agree with the 9k figure to a certain extent. I was thinking of selling mine a bit back, a year older but with less miles, full audi service history, cam belt, water pump and tensioners, All the options, blah, blah, blah. I was going to put it up at 9.5k but decided I would have taken 8.5k.
IMHO if you sell it to a friend for 10k don't expect him to be a friend for long!
