[V8] Buyer for my car?

[Dave Saad]

Oops!
I made a typo. I got $6000 for my car from insurance. Still good to know if anyone is in a similar situation because this should come up as a comparable. The fact that there were so few comparables was the reason they could go with my valuation.

And...
Much as I like my allroad, I do miss the v8/5 speed drivetrain. I am not a fan of ESP and would prefer a torsen rear diff. I have learned to love the tiptronic though. Never thought that would happen...
