Selling advice

Post by R4gordini » Sat May 19, 2018 7:44 am

Advice required please I’m thinking on selling my 2014 B8 RS4 with 23500 miles serviced at Inverness Audi. I will more than likely end up selling to them as my location is a difficult one for folks to sus out and view the car with me being in Orkney.
Reason for selling is that I just don’t use it.
I am really <beep> at selling a car ! In the interest of informing prospective buyers how do I find out the spec on my particular car ?
What I do know is that it is Daytona grey, has a panoramic roof, 20 inch wheels, heated seats, black leather. I’m not sure what would be a fair price for it, I know this is not enough info but has anyone got any idea of a ball park figure that I should be asking or looking for ?

Cheers Stan.

Sounds like a good spec, the codes in the front of your service book details the options ticked. With your location, I would take a punt at private sale, the scum that will just want to come window shopping and offer you a px for their vxr won’t travel that far, where an enthusiast will. Get the car detailed, take a load of high res shots and upload them to a photo site, then add link to advert. If the car is guaranteed immaculate with proof of photos, people will travel.

You could try contacting Autocentre Inverurie, they get a decent rep for buying RS cars for stock, probably get more than the dealer.

I’m orcadian myself, but in Abz now. 8)

Try Tootle I had dealers in Scotland offering on my B8 willing to collect from the south just be honest about the condition on the advert.

Had a look at that just now I’ll maybe try it and see. I would agree that it would be important to keep it honest otherwise they then have an excuse to drop their offer.

Inverness to Iver is what, 30 minute drive? :s

If you wanted to send me a reg number I'll take an eye over it; if the specification is really good I've flown up to Aberdeen, Edinburgh etc. plenty of times to buy cars. The least I can do then is send you back a detailed specification for your advert if it's not for us.

Pm sent Alex,
The easiest way to get the car south is to take it down to Aberdeen on the overnight boat.
