[s-cars] value of '92 S4

[Theodore Chen]

i've been agonizing over this for months now.  back in june, i bought
a biturbo S4 avant for my wife to drive.  for some inexplicable reason,
she refused to drive the avant, claiming that it was a "soccer mom" car.
she clung to her beige '94 camry.  anybody see the irony here?

i had hoped to dump the camry, but after having multiple discussions on
the topic and getting nowhere, i've concluded that she isn't going to
drive the avant.  we need the avant, though, so i've been driving it.
meanwhile, the '92 S4 just sits in the garage.  it pains me to see it
sitting there unused, and i don't have enough garage space for both the
avant and the '92.  i just don't feel right about parking it on the street,
though, and i need to simplify.  i have too many cars right now.

so i'm thinking about selling it, which is tough to do because every time
i drive it, i get a big smile on my face.  the '92 is more engaging to
drive than the '01 avant.  but i can't keep up with six (!) cars.

stats on the car:
green with ecru interior
130k miles
hoppen/MTM stage II+ chipset with RS2 exhaust manifold
porsche 996 front calipers with euro A8 rotors
braided steel brake lines all around
clear corner lamps up front
10-disc CD changer
cell phone (don't remember if that was standard or not, but it's there)
stock 16x8 wheels with brand new BFG g-force T/A KDWS (great tires)
exterior and interior in good shape except for a small ding on the
driver's side rear quarter panel and the dreaded clearcoat peel has started
in several places on the roof.  some wear on the driver's seat bolster and
shift knob.

what's it worth?  where's the best place to sell it?
