OK, I caved and took a lease on a new 2007. I am now selling my 2002 A4 Quattro Bose/Symphony sedan. It's completely stock and I am not a tuner, except I had the software added. Will that be a plus or minus on resale? I am trying to decide whether to lock it permanently in stock mode or advertise that feature as a plus. I just don't want buyers to think I am a racer (OK, I did race that Lamborghini down the street, but as most of you pointed out that wasn't really "racing.").

 

how much for u wan for it??

 

Ithink I wouldn't mention it unless asked. Let them drive the car, and the car will speak for itself.

 

+1 if anything, any modificacions would decrease the value of the car...... it depends on what the buyer is looking for.

 

I haven't had the time to decide on a price yet, but I am thinking around 15k Buy It Now. It's at 66k miles with certified until mid-2008 or 100k miles.

 

It depends on the buyer. If it's a younger person, tell them it's chipped for a little more scoot. If it's the little old lady from Pasadena, let it go.

 

In my experience I find that modified cars sell for less than a bone stock car. There's also the notion that buying a modified car might've been beaten on more heavily.

My 94 camaro certainly didn't sell well. I waited for months trying to sell it at what I thought was a fair price, but since I had a couple of mods I figured that i would have to take a dive to get rid of it. Needless to say I sold it for 2 grand below my asking price...

My 95 Taurus SHO had plenty of mods on it, but I sold it for what I thought was a fair price (on ebay no less!).

So do what you think is right. Personally I'd get another ECU and sell your chipped one

 

That's smart...hadn't considered that option.

 

is your car a stick?

 

Yes.
