Default where did you get $24,400 for market value? Edmunds says $17k and mileage drops it below that.

you can get an '01 S8 for your asking price.

just my $0.02

oh, and, please use the classifieds <ul><li><a href="http://www.edmunds.com/used/2001/audi/a8/100000523/options.html">http://www.edmunds.com/used/2001/audi/a8/100000523/options.html</a</li></ul>

Your right, i did have it a little high, maybe 400 over. <a href="http://www.kbb.com/KBB/UsedCars/PricingReport.aspx?ManufacturerId=4&YearId=2001&Ve hicleClass=UsedCar&VehicleId=My8yMS8yMDA3fDM3NTM%3 d&PriceType=Private+Party&ModelId=9&Mileage=84700& SelectionHistory=3753%7c3115%7c98056%7c0%7c0%7c144 099%7ctrue%7c144091%7ctrue%7c144108%7ctrue%7c54360 5%7ctrue%7c144078%7ctrue%7c543600%7ctrue&Condition =Excellent&QuizConditions=0">Here is why, and this is without a warranty</a>.
If it doesn't sell, then i'll probably just keep it for a while, and eventually part her out.

I will post it up in the classifieds, sorry to **** you off posting it here.

Default KBB is typically on the high side and your link says $20,805.

I don't care about posting FS ads here, especially since I'm looking for a car, but the Mods might not like it.

good luck with the sale. looks like a unique car, which always adds value to someone who likes/wants it.

Default regardless of whether or not his price is not KBB standards or whatever...

I see NO reason he shouldnt post one of the most well done D2s to try to sell it to us fellow D2ers. Who the hell searches the classifieds for a fully modded D2 A8 anyway? Sheesh. They only sell A4s, S4s, and really pricey RS6s there. ;-)

Flyin8 - Great work on your ride brotha. I have always loved the work you did on it. wish i had the loot to take her to a new home. Good luck with the sale man. who knows, i may get some money someday to pick it up!
