Hey all. So I bought my 2001.5 Santorin blue tip S4 back in May of this year for $12,000. It had 74k miles on it,timing belt/water pump had all been done and the car has had zero problems so far. It has never thrown codes and basically has had zero wrong (knocks on lots of wood) with it besides a left tie rod that needs to be replaced sometime soon.

From what I've seen, I got a great deal on the car when I bought it. At that time, I wasn't planning to purchase an S4 so when even a tip fell into my hands I bit. All other S4s in the area were going for 14k+ that had such low mileage on them. Problem is, I want a stick now . Since purchasing the car I've fallen in love with the S and don't plan to switch cars anytime soon EXCEPT to a stick. I just see more potential(and fun) with a manual transmission with regards to what I want todo with the car. Same car, just in stick. Question is, how much do you think I can resell the car for? I'm looking to pay back the roughly 11k I still owe plus a little more for a sizeable down payment on the next one. Assuming the car is still in great shape(which, as of today, it still is) and still 100% stock, what would be a good price to sell it for it and does anyone locally have a manual S4 for sale?

P.S: If you're interested in the car, PM me for pictures or questions.

Pics would make it a bit easier to price the car too.

Anyways though, get it priced on Kelly Blue Book but also hit sites like autotrader or vehix and see what other private sellers are asking for their S4's in colorado. Don't go by what the dealers are asking though, you'll never get that much unless you get lucky.

Well it's all gonna depend on what condition the car's in and what you have done to it.

Cause on Craigslist people are selling their stage 3 S4's for around 13k-18k.

Here's a lightly modded S with a few more miles then yours:
