Hey guys. I'm trying to sell my avant since its sitting in new england and I'm sitting in Hawaii until past christmas time. I'm trying to figure out what a fair price is for the car. Heres the low down.
1998 avant 2.8 30v
5 speed quattro
173k
leather, sport suspension,
no rust
brand new tires
studded nokians on steel rims

negative factors
needs an alternator
might need a rear right wheel bearing, sound familiar?
main seal leak, timing belt due at 210k

i'm asking 3300 which i think is fair. what do you all think?
thanks

 

 

Yeah, I've checked that out... I started at 4900 but nobodys been interested... months later i'm down to 3300... its much lower than i wanted but... the market dictates

 

yea, i blue booked my car, said it was worth 10K the guy was asking 8000 but i chewed the guy down to 6600 for it when i got it

 

yeah, the ideal would be me keeping it and fixing everything when i get back to it and sell it for what it should be worth.

 

KBB is a joke. Go by Galves and the local classifieds/market (NOT used car lots or dealers). Unfortunately, a high-mileage Wag is a much harder sale than the typical A4. Good luck with the sale!

 

I would say you could get about 3k for it. Start there, and good luck with the sale.

 

Correction: I don't think Main Seal is the right one. I think its the seal around one of the pulleys on the front of the engine, not rear main.
