Did you post your ad anywhere else?
Believe it or not there are other Audi sites beside this one I didn't see your ad on Audizine.com, Audiforums.com or Fourtitude.com.
Of course Craigslist is good too, just watch out for scammers.

When I was selling my car, in my ad I offered little perks like a full detail and or oil change before the sale. So little things like that helps.

Default I did cars.com, autotrader, craiglist when selling the 2.7T...

...cars.com and autotrader yielded only a couple of inquiries after 3-4 weeks. Then moved to craiglist, got two phone calls the very first day and car was sold to the 1st person that came to see it for asking price.

If you don't get many hits I would try Autotrader.

Default I just put an ad on audiforums. I am trying not to spend $$ to sell the car. If I can't sell...

within the next month or get a decent trade-in value for the car then I will try my local paper and autotrader. Thanks guys for all the input and help. I will miss this forum when I get my new car.

Default Consider thinking about it a little differently - rather than saying "I won't spend money

to sell my car" think about it as "how can I maximize the $$ I will get for my car". If you approach it this way, you might consider spending reasonable money to advertise in a medium that will be more likely to draw a customer willing to pay you what you want.

Just my $.02....
