Default Thinking of selling 01 S4 Avant

I am considering selling my 01 S4 Avant with tip. Bone stock, never abused, original turbo's. Oil is warm before I even think about getting into the boost, allowed to cool before shut down. Third owner, I have owned it since March of 04 bought it as a certified pre-owned with 20,000 miles. It is just short of 82,000 miles all service up to date. 034 front suspension last year around 500 miles ago. Timing belt, water pump, tensioners completed at approximately 75,000. New Continental DW's at about 71,000. Imola Yellow with Alcantra Interior. I have never seen another Imola Avant with this interior.
Like I said in the title I am thinking about selling the car. I do not have to, just not using it enough to justify keeping it around.
Loooking for others ideas as to what I could get for this fine example.

trade for a sedan with lower miles lol? 1 thing. thats not alcantara leather, its the 'silver' leather. they only put the alcantara in the sport models. that being said, if its in as good of condition as the few pics seem you can probably get ~9-11k for it if its perfect.

edit: just noticed its a tip. cancel the trade offer. prob worth around 8-9k

Thanks for the reply. I was trying to post from memory and was thinking the color was called Alcantara but your are right it is Silver Leather. I don't eat in the car so no crumbs or food stains. Understand about the tip being an issue to some and I am not going to get in a debate here but to me it all comes down to how you treat the car and maintenance. Where I live traffic is an issue and having the tip is nice. This car is not modified or raced. It is allowed to warm up before I even think of getting into the boost and allowed to cool before it gets shut down. The car is perfect and I would be shooting for NADA high book but also wondering what the market will bear.

I am just thinking about selling the car and really don't need another car (two drivers and three cars is more then we need) In a lot of ways it is a impractical car for us to have as it is only driven on nice days (trying to keep it nice) and it is not fitting our life style that well. I have considered going to an All Road but it is just a thought for now. I always have a little smile on my face when I do drive my S4 so who know I just may keep it around for another 7 years.

Cheers
