As the title says I am selling my S4 because I am in the midst of putting in for a build on a S6. Here is my dilemma, I don't want to give my car to the dealer on a trade in, but I am finding it difficult to sell it privately and I am not sure why. It is in great condition, all services and it only has 22,000 miles on it, so what gives? Maybe people just don't want to spend that kind of cash, or they prefer new, whatever it is I am having little luck. I have resourced to selling it with an online company, so I will lose a little on my asking price, but at least the dealer won't get it

What are you selling it for? Seems like a good deal if everything has been taken care of with only 22k miles, maybe the asking price is too high?

Have you gotten a free appraisal from your local carmax? When I recently replaced my Q7 with a newer Q7, carmax offered me $3k more than my local Audi dealer where I've purchased several Audi's in the past.

If I'm correct you should be getting around $35,000 right? If it's a P+

Was asking $36000, KBB said with all the options it was worth around $38000

Close and I would even consider that, but no offers except a few low *****.

Thanks, I will look into that. I have Beepi.com coming by next week to do their appraisal, they say they will sell my car in 30 days or they will buy it. I did their online thing and it everything checks out I will get $35,500 and that is not bad.

Selling a car for more than $10K privately is tough and can be impossible depending on where you live. I'd call CarMax and any other similar company to see what they'd do for you, otherwise you might be sitting on it for months. It took me around 10 weeks to sell my Infiniti after I got the S6 and I was only asking $12K.

I live and work in the Seattle area, so Audi's are very popular around here. I actually contacted a company called Beepi.com and they are taking on the sale for me, I think. They came out tonight and inspected the entire car, they are supposed to Email me in the morning and tell me what they will offer, hope it goes well.

I'm not sure what it's like in Washington but make sure your private party sale offsets the sales tax differential enough to make it worth your time. Over here the trade in would drop the new car's sales tax by about about $2200
