I agree with phil.

>Don't know if you've priced V8/5's lately, but that's a fair price.  A 
totally clapped-out one w/faked odo sold for $13k earlier this year, and 
not to a fool but to a q-lister! 

Not to belittle a brother, but in this case the gap between "lister and 
fool" has been bridged.  Never should have happened to a "knowledgeable" 
QLister, ALWAYS bring a disinterested 3rd (prefferably a mechanic) party 
along before negotiating for the car of your dreams, especially 
maintenance black holes!  Here in the Northeast, clapped out V8s run 
$5K-$7.5K, reasonable examples 8.5K-10K, "nice" $12-14K

>Other three trades in last 18 months I've
seen for clean ones were 17k, 17k, 16k, and 19k.  All under 80k miles 
and very, very clean and correct.

Very possible, but you don't have to look any further that the CQ market 
to realize the market for high end, hi ($) maintenance Audi's of the 
90-91 vintage has cratered in the last 12-18 months, and save any 
seasonal uptick, looks to remain that way.
