I am going to sell our A3 to take care of some other business. I understand used cars are actually valued by dealers these days. Any idea what our A3 would be worth? I checked KBB and it was 19,900-22,500 from wholesale to retail, but I know that's not the best measure.

It's a 2007 A3 2.0T FWD, DSG, S-Line, Bose, OpenSky, etc. Loaded except for nav. Currently w/35K miles. Condition is very good (I am a freak about maintaining my cars) with near-new Michelin PS A/S+ tires, etc.

What should I expect to get from this car? Any of you interested?

Thanks in advance.

Look at eBay...that will give you at least a benchmark. If my Daughter was of age (only 15) I would be haggling with you for it. My wife drives a Q7 so we are big Audi fans. However one year too soon. Its very nice so you should get top dollar. Whatever that is.

So $20K for above avg with 35K seems pretty reasonable. Thanks Dustin!
