Selling my Audi, what's a fair price?

[Tess McMillan]

Do I ever agree with this! I'm a supposed "adult" in school now full-time. 
The folks you see driving earlier FWD Audis are all 18 y.o. kids. Usually 
girls. There was one hopped-up 4KQ that parked near me last quarter, owned 
by a kid who impressed me as pretty much knowing what he was doing, but 
aside from that, all the newer cars have the "Microsoft" parking sticker 
hanging from the rearview mirror.

I was telling Tony H, who'd asked about my door, that even though my '88 
80Q has a yucky door smack right now ... and a windshield with at least 5 
years of track spray in it... and the paint is overall not as pristine as 
it was when the car was new ... I have kids walking up to me to tell me 
how sweet they think my car is. They wanna talk about it. They know what 
a cross-drilled rotor is, they spot the rear anti-sway bar. And this is 
a car I would be a little shy these days to take to an Audi event because 
she's no longer perfect. &:-(

But who wants an old FWD car when you can get a Civic real cheap? 
Parts for those Japanese cars are CHEAP. Selling points for an Audi would 
be stereo, sunroof, electric window-winders, heated seats, hauling friends 
around in luxury, trunk space (+/- I don't think you have a lot of that) 
.... maybe some cool wheels.... I think bling and making it really really 
sprarkly clean would get you $1200 or more here. What it's worth is what 
someone will pay for it.
