Default Want to trade from an 96' A4 2.8Q

ok, Ive had my car for quite some time now, runs very good and strong, but I just love the feeling of the newer A4s, in particular 99.5 +. I also want a manual and a 1.8T to work on with mods. What would be the sensible way to do this? Dealer? Private? Anyone here??
Thanks!
Learned quite a lot here by lurking and not posting

Default my opinion-

(1) youll get best price thru private sale/auction - the downside is this takes longer, can be a hassle, and if you sell your car before buying the other then consider the expense of a rental etc..
(2) easiest is to trade it but you'll get less value of it from the dealer- plus side is that you can trade/pickup same day and all the paperwork is in one place

IMO- try and sell it firstprivately - at least you'll know what you can get for car

If you have the means, get the 2002 brand new A4 1.8T

Default Some dealers will give you an extra week to sell your car privately -- I had a dealer let me

trade in my car, but said I could keep it for a week and see if I could sell it for more. If I could, I could just pay them what they were going to give me, and if not, I could drop my car off to them at the end of the week for the trade in.


Just a thought.
