i hate to say this because i dont like the thought of ripping an audi apart but you would probably get the most money by selling it for parts (if you have the time and want to put the work in that is) other wise you may need to lower the price a tad... oooor you could always swap a mid mounted twin turbo w12 and make an awesome race car!

you should be able to easily sell it for 3k

especially if you have maintenance records

where are you located?

good luck on the sale!

if it runs well, then don't bother parting it out....I would say use it as a trade in before you part it out

use it as a trade in, just needs a tune up maybe? do you have the maintenance record? how long have you had it?

EBAY it.

Other than running "rough" what else doesn't work? Does the suspension make noises? Why don't you trust it? What for motor is in it? Have you looked at the spark plugs or tried to do any maintainence yet?

I believe these cars will easily run into the 300K mile range if taken care of, possibly more. Of course with that kind of milage you're going to need to replace wear items, but that hold true for any car. A $3000 honda is going to need work done to it too, it just won't cost as much...
