    Hello,
    looking for a little advice. I am selling my s4 locally in denver and just discovered that there is an oil leak on the turbos. I am assuming the o rings need to be replaced. I see no signs of blown turbos or even stressed turbos. The car has some issues aside from that. Needs cv boot on pass side front and electric fan. 177k miles and clean. I have the car listed for 6k on cl. I obviously need to change the price. i had an offer today for 2500.00 based on these issues coming to light while on a lift being inspected by potential buyer. I guess the question I have is what is a fair asking price or should I take the low offer. I think its too low. Any thoughts? I need to sell so I can work on my other s4..

    Thanks

    I'd like to keep my car.

    The seals are leaking, meaning the turbos are blown.

    It's impossible to tell you a fair asking price based on the provided information...

    dont sell it, your car's not in that bad of condition. I'd put money on Frankenturbos, and fix the other stuff

    Well here is where my problem is. I have the one that is up for sale (tip) and another (manual) that I want to put some of the procedes from the other cars sale into(working on stage 3- to start). The automatic has in my opinion a better market value due to having less miles, and I thought better mechanical condition(for the average cl/ebay buyer). 2500.00 doesnt get me much in performance upgrades+ regular maintence and other bills. Love both cars but the manual is the project I need to see through, cant afford both anymore....
