Due to a shortage of funds, I'm reluctantly having to sell my much loved S4 and downgrade to something cheaper, like a Golf

2000 'V' reg. S4 Avant, silver, black leather, 6CD, 38,700 miles, centre armrest. The car is in perfect condition, apart from a few scrapes on the alloys, and is totally standard - i.e. no mods (not sure if that is good or bad around here).

Now reduced to £14,750

Nobody looking for an S4?

Is the price to high?

Or has everyone on here already got an S4 or RS4 ?

Price is too high mate.
You said in an earlier thread that you were looking to sell your car above £13k but nearer £15k.
(I'm still looking)

Clive,

I know I had said that before. After that, I checked a few price guides, and found the following:

Parkers (Private Good) - £15240 (2000V S4 Avant, 40k miles)
WhatCar (Private) - £16,572 (2000V S4 Avant, 40k miles)

So, I decided that 15k was a bit too low to start with. I thought £16,000 o.n.o. was a reasonable starting point, given that I can always reduce the price or accept a lower offer - if I had asked for 15k, people would have expected to knock me down to 14-14.5k probably.

Anyway, I'm open to offers

I think it’s a fair price, if it is in a1 condition, I would be willing to pay 16k for a mint S4 on that year.

I paid 17.5k in January this year for a 2000(w) S4 with 43,000 on the clock

In the search for my car in January, I came across a lot of battered S4's with high mileage and a many of them were just not looked after full stop.

From your pics, it looks a very mint car

Good luck with the sale

Bazza

Thanks Bazza

I'd hold out for that kind of money as well. Late, low milage S4's are getting increasingly rarer, there are loads of early high milers around for the £13k mark.

All the best with the sale,

Ben

Final comment - I just missed out on a low mileage (35,000) 2000 W reg at £14,500 private sale. A dealer picked it up (for £14K? who knows?). They now have it up for sale at £16,995 - £3k is a lot to pay for a 12 month dealer warranty and a nice valet! Anyway, I think on balance £15k is about the right mark for the low mileage but relatively low spec.
Good luck, its a nice car - I'm sorry but I've decided I'm definately going for the saloon.
Best rgds, Clive

Clive,

Good luck finding your saloon. In my experience the Avants usually command a premium of around £1,000-1,500, so you should have a better chance of getting a saloon for £13k.

Hi Andy,
I just found a saloon with just 27,000 miles on a T reg (April 1999) for exactly £13k - too good to be true do you think?
The service history and condition of the car do support the reported mileage, just seems very low on a car 5 1/2 years old.
The spec is rather basic (no leather, but heated seats, 6 CD changer, BOSE sound system, 18" wheels).
Also, does anyone know when the "2000 facelift" kicked in?
Cheers, Clive

I think the first cars appeared in November 99

No, that's quite posible. My car had 31k miles when I bought it, and in 18 months, I've only put around 8k miles on it. If you project that out, if I kept my car for 5 years, I would put around 26-27k miles on it.
Actually, that's another reason for selling the car - I don't really do it justice! Since, I get the train to work, and have 2 kids, I don't get much chance to take it for a spin The car just sits parked in the driveway most of the time

Regarding the facelfit - I'm not sure exactly when it started, but my car is a facelifted model

Reduced price to £15,495 o.n.o.
