Depending on the price you are looking for it might be worth setting a decent reserve on BaT [bringatrailer.com], particularly as you have an interesting color combo and if it's low miles and mint, it might see a lot of action -- that site seems to like the less than typical, and there is a lot of German iron on there. Plus, maybe your car ends up looking like a bargain after someone was drooling over an MB Pullman they would never afford

Car has been on autotrader for about a month now, near zero bites. Bummer. Down to 18k asking.

I'm not surprised. Your price is high by quite a margin. I'm not saying it's not worth it, but it'll be hard to convince others it is. The low mileage is worth something of course, but given you could find a pristine example with around 80-100k on it for $5-6k or so less, it's still a very hard sell.

Just for the heck of it I did a nationwide search for 2005 A8's. You are tied for fist place in the most expensive A8 challenge. And the other one is a W12. The next runner up is @ $15k. It's highly unlikely that you'll be able to sell you car for that much. You're right on the edge of S8 pricing. In fact for not much more than that you can get into a 2011 D4.
