Try A4, 90, 4000, 5000 Forums for a move-up buyer in your area.

Default well, for one

i'd advise you rethink the copy in your ad.

dont promote your drag racing and high speed driving escapades. i read that, plus you're a college student, plus it had the tranny rebuilt (by aamco of all places) and i'd stay way from it. i'd rather buy from an executive in the burbs who drive it gingerly to and from golf.

and i'm sure your car is in great shape as you clearly love it.

Default using spell check might help too......

...I figure that if the seller can't spell.....

...I read this from your ad:

"Speeding (probably drunk) college student wants to dump abused A8 before he has to pour more money into it. Being cheap, he has his car serviced by AAMCO and Jiffy-Lube and has added drug-dealer tint and junky go-faster bits. This car will break down within days"

Here's what I would want the reader to see:

"College student wishes to sell inherited A8 because insurance costs are too high. The car has been regularly maintained and has been lovingly cared for"

Default Maybe put in a buy it now price, edit out the speeding tickets.

Believe you can make changes before someone bids. Maybe say something to your audiance about the benefits of owning a fast old man's car? Holds lots of stuff, travel in style, the beast won't rust and looks good as new. Cost over $70k new. Perfect car to impress the boss and get assigned a great spot in the parking lot. Very theft resistant. etc.

Default I think it's more of a buyer's market too

I've noticed that these car sell for a lot more here in the Seattle area.
