I'm thinking of trading in my 2000 Audi a6 2.8 quattro auto/tip 122000 miles for a 2001 BMW 330I manual 126000 miles.

How much do u think I should pay?
Do u even think I should go for the trade-in?

 

if you have quattro don't trade it =) ~ the C5 imo is more well put together than a E46 (non-m).. the 330 is a little quicker but not a better car overall.

 

NOT WORTH IT!!! The Audi is a higher quallity car. And like OC said, if you have Quattro, never make that trade. Put a couple hundred dollars into your 2.8 and it will run just as good as that Bimmer. You are gaining one thing IMO with that trade, a manual tranny. And you can get that in a C5 A6 anyways. Keep your car, please! Audis lead, never follow

 

stay with the Audi, no BMW is worth the value of an Audi.

 

^ And thats coming from someone with a 7 series in his drive way!!!

 

Sounds like they should give you some money along with the BMW for your Audi!

 

IMO, they are two completely different cars. A6 is a cruiser, and 330 is more of a sportier car. A6 has better interior amenities and smoother ride. 330i, definitely quicker, but not as comfortable. Although I like my wife's 03 325i, we always drive my car when we go somewhere if that tells you something.

 

well, I guess the majority says stay with the Audi. I was just looking for a faster car, especially that this is a stick, and I'm really dying for a stick.
I was also thinking of the 2.7T, but I don't want a new car that looks just like mine, so I thought of the BMW for a change. I guess I'll just wait a while though till I have more money, then I might get a newer Audi.

 

the 330 is fast, but not fast enough to justify the trade =)
I drove a E46 325 for a little while during ownership of my Audi too!

 

I wouldn't go for the 325I though, it's only 184 HP, but the 330I is 225HP, so it's much more powerful.
On a second though,
You said if it's a Quattro don't trade it in, I also found a 2003 325XI, so it's all wheel drive, also a stick with 108000 miles, what do you think?
