What I don't understand is there are several similar audis for around the sane price on autotrader. That's why he won't go down on price.

 

So find another Audi. Auto trader is always going to be priced higher if that's what he wants to go by let him.

If you're really interested in the car just watch his posting and in 2 weeks if it's still for sale make him another offer. Chances are he'll be more willing to come down on the price.

KBB has it valued at under $4500 and that's for excellent condition. Granted I don't know all of the feature but that price includes the premium wheels and cold weather package. So call it $4500 in excellent condition for some feature I most likely missed.

 

He keeps really good care of the car , does all the oil changes himself at 3k. Would you be worried about buying a Audi with this many miles?(150,000) Whether it's this one or a different one.

 

I honestly don't worry myself with miles all that much. I bought my 2000 with 130k 2 months ago. I however only drive probably 5-6k miles a year.

As far as I know if you take care of an Audi it will run for a while. I haven't owned one for long enough to really say, but at 150k miles I personally wouldn't worry about it.

 

Nada has it at $8100 clean retail. Now I don't think it is that clean. But it pretty closely falls under this catagory.

 

Yes clean retail, you're buying privately, big difference.

 

The difference being that's what you would expect for a dealer to mark it up at? So you might see this Audi for close to this price at a dealership somewhere? Or am I wrong?

 

Correct. That $8100 would most likely be what the dealer would list it at. That is how I've always read it anyways. That's why it says retail, a private sale isn't retail.

 

ok, so its not absurd for someone to pay that much for this particular audi, just from a private seller you should be able to get less..correct?

 

Basically... all stealerships jack up their prices and it is almost always unreasonable. So if someone buys the same car from the dealer as private party, they pay a lot more for the same thing. Selling private party for dealership prices probably wont get your car sold very fast though.
