Default Thinking of selling my W12 SWB

It just doesn't get used that often now so toying with the idea of selling up.

It's a 2005 Short Wheel Base W12.

Dark metallic blue with black leather.

The options list isn't huge on it:

Keyless entry/start
TV (needs digital tuner to work though)
Phone
Power boot
Soft close doors
Rear blind

Not sure if any of those were standard equipment to be honest?

It's done around 120k miles and is in good condition apart from:
A small area of lacquer on the drivers front pillar come away
Chrome trim round rear windows gone milky
Power boot opens itself but wont close itself

Any ideas on a rough price I should be looking at?

I think the options list is about right but the looks of it.

Also has wooden gear knob apparently.....

The colour is unusual, in a nice way, but the (relatively) high mileage is going to kill its value and desirability.

On that spec and mileage, I guess WBAC is around 3-3.5 K, maybe a touch higher as a trade in, and private up to 5 K. Dealer Forecourt is showing 6.2K.

Lot of car for the money, but they do cost a lot to run compared to other variants unfortunately.....

If you wanted to move it on to the trade, I might be interested, not because there is 1 penny of profit in it, but because I've never managed to own a 12 cylinder car. Came really close 3 times, but its still on my bucket list

I think your signature says it all really - "Need an OPEC membership to run it!".
Probably the hardest of all Audis (well, '8s anyway...) to shift, and the one with the biggest gulf between market price and owner value.
I've no idea what it's worth, but good luck with the sale - there may be someone out there who really wants one.

I can only imagine he doesn't want to sell it!

Can't be many CAT D W12's out there so rarity value maybe.
