Pricing advice required
Hi all,
A change in my life (relocating at the beginning of April and subsidising 2 daughters at university at the same time) means I am in the position where I need to sell my A8 quickly and drive a cheap car for about a year. Problem is I have no idea how to price my car for a quick sale but getting a realistic price for it so I needed advice. It is a silver 2007 (07 plate) 3.0Tdi SE LWB in great condition with full service history but it has done just under 210,000 miles. I use it every day and put just under 2,000 miles a month on it trouble free so I believe it has plenty of life left but of course a lot of people will be put off by the mileage. Thoughts as to a realistic price? Looking on autotrader doesn't help much as prices are all over the place. Obviously if any of you know somebody looking for one that would be great but I anticipate it going on eBay or autotrader as you all already own an A8!

It's almost impossible without the exact spec and inside/outside pictures mate.

Realistically, what are you going to get that will save money overall? You won't get much (if anything!) for the A8 and a smaller "more economical" replacement will cost money and depreciate and probably not last well at your mileage.
I'd just run the A8 into the ground, it will soak up 2000 miles a month easily and being a 3-litre diesel not cost a fortune on fuel. If anything major goes wrong it's end-of-life anyway, probably.

Actually that is very true.
3.0tdi are very economical making your idea not worth the hassle and it may make you loose out instead of making savings especially that you know your car very well and there is nothing wrong with it which can't be said about the replacement.

Thanks for the responses so far.
Pictures are here http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/showthread.php?t=11713 Spec wise I don't think it had many of the options ticked. It does have bluetooth, free view and DAB. I think everything else is standard . I know it's not worth much. I won't be doing the mileage any more once I relocate so was looking to buy a 1-2k commuter car. The relocation and kids are costing a fortune (youngest is going to Tokyo for a year of her degree at our expense) so anything I can get back would be a massive help. In my head I was hoping for £3-£3.5k for a quick sale. Would obviously like more hence my post but I could live with that. Is it really not worth that? Micharl
