Entertaining thoughts about joining the ranks of Audi owners with a 2002 or 2003 Avant. The Avant seems to fit the bill for style, decent practicality, uniqueness/flair, etc. Contemplated Volvo (too "soccer mom"), Subaru (makes sense but zero flair, Sportcross (performance but Japanese goofy looking), Saab 9 series (mixed emotions) and Passat (Okay but lacks passion/too many driving around).

Someone is selling a used 2003 3.0 Avant with 7500 miles and every option except Navigation for about 33K. I have been keeping my eye out lately and it's hard to find a 6 speed 3.0 Avant in Atlas Grey or Silver.

I am a tad leary of chipping the 1.8 Turbo and think the 3.0 would be a better option for me. The Kelly Blue book is about 34K but I was wondering what Audi enthusiasts thought.

Thanks in advance.

in March. The car was 11 months old and was semi loaded (no sport or xenons, but had premium leather, heated seats). I didn't buy it, got my new 1.8T instead.

33k is probably on the high side on that car, especially if it's not certified.

cargo space. I don't want to deal with chipping - with my luck I blow it up and be denied warranty.

I was hoping GTakacs would answer.....
More details: Includes Prem.leather, Xenons, Premium/Sport/Cold Weather packages, Bose and a set of Audi roof bars with Ski attach., rubber floor mats.

It has every option I lust after and am trying not too let emotion run amuck. Will offer lower price. I need to complete purchase by early December. Local Seattle dealers seem a bit lacking in Avant inventories.

Thanks again.

Yeah 6-speed 3.0 (or any manual for that matter) Avants are slim pickings.....

Pull the trigger - you'll love it.

Love my 3.0 Avant. Sporty and practical. Impresses the ladies and gets me to the slopes.

The car has a wholesale of $33,575........31.5 or 32K is a fair price to offer
