Default What would u do?

I have a 2001 S8 with 94k miles.
I never drive the car, 9 months about 1000 miles maybe.
So I'm willing to pats ways with it.
Should I part it out or sell it whole? Its had all services done. Its does have some flaws. Paint is fair at best, missing both lower bumper grills,radio Not working, rear sun shade also not working. Otherwise great car. What would u do?

The depreciation on the car will be way more than minimal rental use.

Most likely worth it to fix and sell.

You might be able to earn a few more bucks parting it compared to selling it whole but it's a lot of work. If your spare time is not worth much it might be worth it to you to part it.

As for what the car is worth it's all about condition, market, maintenance records, etc. Winter is coming, good for the Quattro, but few cars sell around the holidays. It might be worth more in the spring after the christmas bills have been paid off, especially if the economy looks promising.

To me it sounds like a sub $10K car given the condition. I would suggest getting the radio fixed and the cosmetics attended to as best you can, or it'll look like a beater and sell for $6500.

Below the box into which you type a post is a "manage attachments" button that leads you to a point where you can put in a URL for a photo that you have elsewhere on the web. Or you can upload a photo file from your computer, but I think that's more limited.

Where's the S8?
