    Advice on selling my 99.5 A4

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I have owned my car for 6 years, actually i still love it but my finance can't let me keep it.

    it's a 99.5 A4 1.8T quattro Manual
    - 119000 miles
    - GIAC chip
    - APR Coilover (Koni brand)
    - APR Exhaust
    - Timing belt and water pump done at 80000 miles
    - New Front end suspension (all control arms, tie rods, both axles)
    - both rear wheel bearings was replaced about 4 years ago
    - motor is still strong
    - i think the clutch is good (no slip)

    now the bad :
    - huge crack in the windshields (didn't take the glass coverage)
    - ABS module is gone, need rebuild
    - Airbag light on
    - 1 rear window needs a regulator
    - might have leak in the A/C, it just blows hot air
    - the paint is still very good for its age, but has a minor rust on the edge of the door near the door jam (next to the fender)


    Kelly blue book says $3800 in fair condition.
    In live in north MA.

    So I was wondering if I should just try to fix those electrical problems and sell at a good condition rating or just sell it as is.
    But i doubt i'll get $3800 with all that problems.
    I estimated the repair cost at about $500-$600 (not at the dealership obviously.

    What are your thoughts ?

    Thanks in advance for your adivices.
