Default S4 Avant pricing...

Trying to get a handle on what a Stage 2 Avant is worth. Thinking about selling mine to get an All-Road, could use the extra space for my family.

GIAC X, H&R Coilovers, piggies, Neuspeed exhaust and 22mm rear sway, short shifter, RS4 rear wing, etc, etc. All records, timing belt done, 68k miles, black with black leather, all options but Nav and the alcantara interior.

What do you guys think?

you should consider parting out the mods and selling it stock.

Default ~$25k

Know what you got.

Modded S4 Avant 6-speed, not many of them out there. Well cared for and T-belt done. I wouldn't go less, especially if you are including the wheels.

Default do you still have the bbk and other mods on your sig on the car? or just the ones you mentioned?

i found a hard time selling mine too at one time, but in my case proly i'm still in love with it.

if you care too much with what you can get ($$$)
i'd suggest to part it out and sell it stock

otherwise give folks on A4 boards a great deal or trade it in

Default I think you saw my post on this the other day, but ...

My Stage II (AMS/Borla G2) Nogaro with Silver leather, 6-spd, Convenience Pkg, Bose, Cold Weather Pkg, 18" OZ SLs, MTM Full suspension, RS4 Grille, Euro HIDs, ToyGuy SS, Audi Sport All-weather mats, 71k miles, TB/WP *not* done, in very good condition overall went for between $22k and $23k. I thought it a fair price when I extended it to the buyer, and think it a fair price now that it's gone.

I based my price on valuations from NADA blue book, KBB, and Black Book (wholesale and private party). I even used Manheim Auto Auction prices as a worst-case price point). Then I did extensive analysis of recently sold Avants along with what was currently available, adjusting comparable prices based on things like exterior color (Nogaro +), interior color (Silver leather -), lack of Sport Pkg (-), miles (-), condition (+), avant vs sedan (+), 6-spd (+), location (arizona and texas car +), mods (+ ~50% street value), etc. In the end, my asking price would have been $23,900 with expectations of right around $23k, probably a tick under. My absolute "will-not-sell-for-less" price was slightly below this. I don't believe in pricing high only to negotiate to where you would've sold anyway ... it's a waste of time. If a buyer likes my car, it's worth what's it's worth.

Looks like you have mods beyond mine, a few less miles and that relatively pricey service interval (TB/WP) out of the way. Black is a tougher sell than Nogaro I think (not sure what your interior is) and some of your mods are "harder core" than anything I was running, which can be a negative.

I'd probably start at $24,750 - $25,000 as-is (with mods), shoot for a $23,750 or higher selling price, and something just north of $23k as your price floor. The $1,000 between asking price and selling price allows wiggle room, if only to appease a buyer who thinks there should be some nominal discount (i.e., not paying asking price) and because it gives you some leverage to deal (vs being hard set on getting over $24k).

Alternately, you could return the car as close to stock as possible and shoot for $21k-$22k then sell the parts a la carte.

The market for good condition Avants is out there. I received tons of emails on mine without so much as "feeler" posts here on AW.

Good luck.

I doubt it'd be easier to sell it stock. RS4 wing goes with the car, it's bonded to the hatch.
