About 25K ish

[Dave.B]

I would hold out for more - but prices are dropping...

[PJC]

Prices seem to be ok for well looked after low mileage examples though.

The harsh truth is 3 previous owners will prevent you getting a top price

People paying top dollar want a mint car in ALL aspects and 3 prev is too much for them

How do I know this? I had a guy interested in mine, and flatly refused to go further SOLEY based on 3 previous owners

[Steve_C]

I agree. Rightly or wrongly, if the average ownership period of a car is less than 18 months I get suspicious.

[DuncS3]

Agree with owners - the Audi sales guy misled me - it was registered to Audi first and he conviently classed that as not an owner and i didnt know until reg doc came through after the sale but it is what it is. Im realistic - there are cars on pistonheads that are way over the value.

I reckon 23-24k? black with black optics is pretty desirable and the mileage is good.

[Steve_C]

I'd be disappointed if £24k didn't generate some interest given its fantastic spec and low miles.

Has it got FASH?

[HYFR]

i recon £24,995 should see it gone all day long

owners isnt a big issue, I was just saying it will put off those really picky people who ARE willing to pay that bit more

personal opinion is owners doesnt matter as long as its not out of the ordinary. ... 3 previous owners on a 4/5yr old high performance car is normal

[DuncS3]

FASH, just serviced actually. If you guys knew what I paid for it youd' be having a whip round for me

I might chop it in at Audi for 13k

The way the market has gone in the last few months, I'd guess a £10k loss?

thats like asking a woman her age.

my mate is a dealer, (independent) - he said "i'd write you a cheque for 20k and retail it for 24995k"
