[V8] Where to sell a 1990 V8 Q. ???

[Coleman, David]

A great way to properly maintain one of these cars (and let bossman know it's in capable hands) is to know what's been done and what can be expected; preventive maintenance goes a long way to cut down those huge dealer bills.  Plus, I wonder how much use he would have for the records now anyway...

If the car's a creampuff, $4800 is a great starting point.  Many of us would be happy to beat you up for half that, but that's because as members of this list we're shrewd and frugal...

Audifans.com has a classifies/marketplace section, as do other Audi-specific sites (quattro club, etc.).  Or you could just do as we do -- forget the resale and drive around in a sweet car.
