Default 2012 s5 limited edition advice please...

2012 s5 limed edition question
Hello everyone. I'm new to the forum but been reading since I got my Audi.

I have a problem and need some guidance on my Audi.
I bought a 2012 Audi s5 limited edition (with white and black seats). I'm to,d they made only 125 of them.
It now has 17000 miles on it and 11 yrs of warranty on it.

I am disabled and need to lower my bills now and have been trying to find the correct price on it. I'm getting 33k to 43k. I got one 49k but I don't want a superbee. Yuck

The car got a small dent and scrape on front passenger wheel wheel. Insurance paid for a new rim, and painted quarter panel and bumper. The paint is only available on this model and the r8. So I did not want to buff and dent removal only.

Dealers are taking off 10k for this bump and run. Ahhhh. It was not an accident, someone scratched it and I wanted my 62k car to look perfect again.
I guess I posted this in wrong place...sorry

My question is how can this Audi depreciate 19k in 2.5 yrs?
I'm not an idiot I have owned m5 and m3 and bought many in cars in my life.
I feel like I'm getting "taken" with these number. Am I wrong?
Kbb is saying 43k edmunds saying 52 k. But I can not get a close to exact price of its worth.

It's a great car but I can't get my wheelchair in and out it and I don't want to mess up the white seats.

If anyone can....PLEASE....help me understand this.
Ps. I will sell it for 50k. Just putting it out there.

Thank you, sweetfx aka dawn

I also have a 2012 audi S5. I have lower mileage than you. A year ago, my dealer only wanted $45K for it if I traded it - no way I said to myself. You might get a higher price selling it yourself, but no dealer will give you $50K for it. IMO, the Limited Editions S5s were a bit overpriced. It was priced as high as the basic RS5. Good luck.

Thank you for the reply. I feel better knowing I am not the only one. I think I will stay away from limited editions from now on.
