1. re-photograph that car with stock wheels on it. Not many people want an RS4 with some $600 replica R8 wheels (that's what they look like anyway). I know they are HREs...but that doesn't make it undo the fact that they just frankly don't fit the car's look.

2. re-consider the price a bit. The car itself, if it wasn't supercharged and heavily modified...just a nice bone stock 2007 with 55,000 miles on it, would probably be worth about $36-39 grand. The APR supercharger, aftermarket, is worth about $6000-8000. The wheels are worth about $1500-2000. The fullback exhaust is worth about $1800. The gruppe M is worth about 300-500. The coils are worthless used, especially if you've ditched the far more expensive DRC.

So you have a $36,000 to $39,000 car + aftermarket parts with USED VALUE of $10,000-12,000. That makes around $46,000-51,000...but I can just about guarantee you that you won't get full value for everything in a package. Not many people want all of those mods.

So...why not part it out? The guy who will pay $8,000 for the APR kit, rather than $6,000, doesn't necessarily want those HREs or the Milltek, so he will jam you on the value he assigns those. And vice versa. You may find that perfect guy who wants a Mugello RS4 with the TVS1320 kit (even though APR is about to launch a TVS1900 kit that renders this worth even less than $6-8k) and the other stuff...but until then, you're leaving money on the table.

I know you didn't ask, but since it's a forum, and since I'm tired of this car being for sale, I thought I'd pipe up.

Best of luck with the sale.

Here's my unsolicited piece of advice to you:

1) If you are interested in buying that car, please contact the seller directly and discuss it.

2) If you are not interested in buying that car, mind your own business and stay out of his.

Since I'm tired of you acting like such an expert and sticking your nose into everyone's business, I thought I'd chime-in...

I bet the dealer doesn't mind the feedback frankly. They are asking what they are and would take probably 92% of that if it was offered...which is close to what I estimated it would be worth.

And if I was dead wrong, they wouldn't be advertising it for sale on Audiworld...it would have been snapped up for high 50s already.

The car was just lowered by $10K in the last week. If anyone has a serious offer than now is the time...
