bmw on the way... selling my audi

rushpuppy · 12-26-2010, 04:06 PM

hi all. fairly new to the forum. i have a space gray 335is coupe on the way, which should get here in about 2 weeks!

i need to sell my 2007 audi a3 in the next 2 weeks. i know i could get a much better price selling it privately, but with my work schedule i might not have time to sell it. if i need to sell it to a dealer, any thoughts as to where i could get the best deal?

thanks in advance.

A friend of mine traded in his Audi A4 to Barrier 5-6 years ago. At the time, it was the best value for him. He had looked into University Audi and tried to sell private but he didn't have enough time as he was moving out of state.

grats on the 335i, sg is the best color!

An auto auction. I was skeptical when my friend did this with his car last month, but he got way more money than what was offered at trade in. The auction site charges a small %. Still much better than trading it in for him.

the 335is is an awesome car... definately an upgrade from the audi

Great choice with the 335. You will not regret it. Try posting the Audi on globalautosports.com because they only sell luxury cars. Auction will get you a barely workable number but you must consider auction fees and dealer fees also involved. Selling privately will put the most $$$$ back in your bank account.

Are you able to use it as trade towards the BMW? I know you won't get the best money as trade but i'd think you would do better then selling it outright to a dealer.
