Default Our D3 is available - located in Connecticut

Hello everyone, been a while since I was on AW...back when I was hip deep in 91 20v Avant adventures. Anyway I've posted our 2009 short wheelbase A8 (121k miles)
on NYC craigslist.. a nice unit with LOTS of effort and $$ put into keeping it nice. I came here because this community has helped me solve a lot of issues on our multiple D3 cars, and I'd love to see this one go to an enthusiast.

Anyone here is welcomed to message me directly instead of going through CL...Thanks!

https://newyork.craigslist.org/fct/c...764983848.html

The buyer will be essentially purchasing the service work from the last two years and getting the car for free..thanks!

Best of luck with the sale, I wonder if you will get any bites at that price. The only reason I say that is because I do look at pricing, I did basically all of the things you did to my car when I got it (a few things more and some less), it has 100K miles on it now and I think I would be very hard pressed to get $7K for it.

Yes I think your observations are generally accurate... and I have flexibility.

There's (at least) two markets for these;
- Those who want to own a single car in the 10K zone and shop this era of used german luxury sedans.
- Audi enthusiasts, and or D3 enthusiasts, who probably have multiple cars already and want to fiddle with all of the D3 "idiosyncrasies" with the reward being to drive a world class car from the past for relatively low money. We all know said reward ebbs and flows through the ownership cycle right?

I personally think these are terrible cars for non-enthusiasts who often end up shoveling huge money to the workshops. This one will be good for an enthusiast that wants the short wheelbase/ color combination offered, and can appreciate the condition and the math on the work already done. It's inside in the back of my warehouse now waiting for the next guy to love it.
