I am at 98500 almost on a 2005.5 A4 3.2L, it's clean. I haven't dropped it yet, I really love the car and I have plans to do some more cosmetic mods but is it likely that I'll get over 13k for it after it hits 100?

Should I sell now. I owe 9k.

i would hope you wouldnt really care how much its worth. i could see it being a issue if you plan to sell it, but for me, i dont care how much my car is worth, now or 100000000 miles from now. i love the thing to death.

but to give you a idea mine is 05.5 with 43k miles, perfect condition, worth about 17k private.

Keep it for as long as you can, the car won't depreciate to the point where it's only worth $4000, because some vans aren't even that cheap. My car has 121,000kms and I know as of right now I could probably only get maybe $17,000 privately. But i plan on keeping it for at least another 3 years, and not have to worry about monthly payments. Who knows, i may have it up to 200k by then, but I doubt i'd get little money.

The more miles that are on it, the less it's worth. But there shouldn't really be any big price jumps right at 100k miles. Most people are smart enough to know that 98k miles is no different than 102k miles, so it shouldn't really be worth any less just beacuse of that.

Hahah, and remember its Canadian funny money too. I think the going rate up in Canada for a 100+km A4 Quattro is around $20,000

as others mentioned, not going to be worthless. I know for sure, that these cars well maintained can go for a longg time. Do the proper maintenance and you should be golden.
