I had no idea my A4 would be so hard to sell...
It's a '99 1.8tqms with 90k miles. That's a lot of miles but the car is in clean condition, I'm the original owner, and it's been dealer serviced. AND, I have it priced WELL below book value. You'd think SOMEBODY would buy it, right? Been trying to get rid of the thing for a month now, with absolutely no luck.

its the 0% interest rates, I think
I tried to sell mine....no luck. I had found an 02 S4 which was priced right, too! At least in my area I think the 0% interest rates (or a low one) is the problem. Guess I just have to go to a stage 3.

Audi = "once you enter the audi family....there's no getting out!!
No, Seriously, the reason is that u have lots of miles.
U think a 99 BMW or BEnz will be an eazy sell with 90K miles?

I feel your pain...
We think a lot more of our cars than the general public. It took me seven months to sell my 97 2.8 with 60K on it. Sit tight unless you have to sell it. It did take seven months but I also got my asking price. BTW, very few interested parties in those months.

Bad economy plus high mileage does not = good buy.
The avg car mileage per year is 12,500. You are
averaging 22,500 10k is a lot of wear and tear on
a car within a short time. Good Luck!

Maybe you're right... so much for the theory that Audi's age well. If you can't get rid of one...
If you can't get rid of a very well-kept 4 year old Audi that has 90k highway miles on it for 2k+ BELOW book value!!!... then Audi is apparently not making cars that people trust to last very long.
I couldn't unload this thing soon enough. Maybe I should drive it into the river...
