I am looking at picking up an 03 Atlas Gray Avant, let me know if you think this is a good deal. Here are the options:

03 Avant 1.8t Quattro
Atlas Grey/Ebony leather
One owner
64k miles
Tiptronic Transmission (have two small kids!)
Sport package
Heated seats
Xenon headlamps
Bose stereo
Homelink
Headlight washer......etc

They had the car listed at $14,999 and I talked them down to $13,250 should I pull the trigger or what?.................Thanks

Sounds great!

**JMRQuattro** · 08-06-2008 02:37 PM

hell yeah, go for it. That's worth about 14,400 according to kbb. Go for it for sure.

Thanks guys, now if I buy it I have to find someone to ship it halfway across the country!!

One more question, I will be selling my 92 Honda Accord Ex sedan with only 63k miles for a down payment on the Avant. My guess is it should go fairly quick cuz of the gas prices, what do you guys think I should ask for it to make it move quick?

yeah just wait till you have kids, I only have two but sometimes in the car it feels like you have about ten in there cuz there is so much going on. Good luck on your search for a manual, check autotrader cuz there is a manual 03 Atlas that was just listed

sounds like a decent deal, try to talk them down by leveraging on the fact the timing belt needs to be replaced soon. that can be a $1k job. i used this tactic and got mine down to $11,500 w/ 69k miles:

That is a good idea, I am gonna email the guy right now and see what he has to say

**WantAvant** · 08-08-2008 06:26 AM

Well i threw the timing belt deal at him, and he responded that he doesn't know if it has been done but he will check. He also said that he talked to his mechanic and he said that Audi doesn't even recommend changing it till 105k so i will still have 40k miles till i have to worry about it? How do i respond to that one to try to beat him down a little bit more??
