[attachment=9]image.jpg[/attachment]Hi all

I know you probably get asked this question like a lot, but there's no better forum than this to receive some honest opinions/feedback. I'm looking to sell my B7 RS4 avant and want your thoughts on where you think its placed in the market - I don't want to under (or over) price it.

The car has been well cared for and cherished in the 4+ years I've owned it. It has been maintained, regardless of cost, through Audi(not that this is always a good thing but I suppose it helps with re-sale)

I've attached some photos to hopefully give you an idea of its condition. Any and all comments welcome

Additionally, if anybody is on the look out for a great example of this future classic, in the best colour(obviously) then please drop me a note.

Thanks

Looks like a lovely well cared for example. The full Audi history is probably more valuable to the general masses on Pistonheads than those on this forum who probably value the likes of MRC and Unit 20. It's a very desirable colour and spec, with decent mileage so I'd put it around the £20-21k mark as a starter. Just my opinion of course.

Buckets? Check
FBSW? Check
DRC sorted? Check

You are ticking a lot of the boxes but summer isn't a great time to sell imho. Taking auto raider as my source and based on my years of experience and dashing good looks if I was selling today id put it up for 18995 and take no less than 17.5

If you can, might be worth holding on for a few months till the munters disappear so you can try 20/19

GLWS, looks like a fine example

Thanks for the input so far. I think I'd be reluctant to head below 20k simply because this is a reluctant sale anyway.

Slowly but surely all my dreams are being dismantled...

[S4WON]

Oh dear Qman, that doesnt sound good mate.

At the end of the day, its metal, if you need to sell now, get it done and remove the stress. You can always buy again at a later date.

No hunk of metal is worth losing sleep over

[S4WON]

And you can always advertise it for 22 if you want, see what happens, cost you a few pints to find out. You may get lucky

[S4WON]

Or put it up here and its free

[Qman]

Some sound advice S4WON, I may do just that. 22 might be worth a punt

This is what I bought in March this year for £20k - viewtopic.php?f=35&t=114252

It had fewer miles than yours and had the MRC treatment. I'd love to think I got a bargain, otherwise you'd do well to get £20k for yours. Mine was in Glasgow so your location might help with the price, depending on where you are.

If you're not in a rush to sell, advertise it for the price you want. You can always reduce it, but you can never increase it.

Cheers,
Bryan

79k miles = <£20k

[Qman]

Thanks Bryan, useful to know.

Hope you're enjoying life in the RS.

Something similar from independent dealer

I'd agree with above post, it's worth £20k but I'd advertise above that to give some haggling space. And Sprint Blue is the best colour of course.

[HYFR]

Exactly, that's a dealer! You can't expect dealer money for a private sale.

[HYFR]

Also, I'm in a market for an F TYPE, there is a nice private car for sale at dealer money ie too expensive... I can't be arsed to go an offend someone offering them less money and trying to haggle thousands of pounds because they've overpriced it

So that strategy can put people off even contacting you.
