with how the price are now! Clean black avant in the classifieds with 85k miles recent TB/WP job. Unbelievable! all clean avants were right around 20k 2 years ago! and he is at 11,500... OBO! I would have to guess that car will be gone quick.

Default you might think so, but I wouldn't. Mine was at the same price and got lots of nibbles
but no bites. I decided to keep it and put it back up in a year or so.

I have a sedan with 88K miles, lots of maintenance and lots of mods (that's relative in this environment, I suppose).

Default Yeah...right now is definitely a buyers market... I should have just thrown the money...
I spent on my low mileage sedan into the bank, and I could have close to 20k and could buy that stock avant and have a stage 3 avant for alot less than it took me with my car! however.... 2 years ago I may have made the mistake of putting my money in the market. In which case I would be looking for salvage titled 200k mileage s4's!

Default think about us who paid $40k in 2000-2001...
then another $10k-15k in mods...

but like they say ... I don't regret the things I have done...

That's why I'll never sell. The car is worth far more to me than it will fetch.

2nd. I'll probably have this thing for at least another ten years unless it's totaled/stolen/etc.
