    Might be time to sell my APR K04 S3 B7, thoughts?

    Well I'm starting to think it may be time to sell my A4 and would like to hear some thoughts from fellow ziners. Car is a 2006 2.0T 6MT Quattro Sedan

    Purchased it 4.5 years ago as a CPO with 39k miles and has been a fantastic vehicle. Recently accepted a new job which will require me to commute 90 miles/day and thinking that I'd hate to beat this car in to the ground in the process. I could part it out but I don't have the time. Plus everyone that has driven it is amazed how well balanced/understated and quick it is so I'd prefer to sell it as a complete package.

    It has 92k miles and is completely up to date on all service. Burns zero oil and has been a very reliable vehicle for me. Oil changed every 5000 miles with Castrol Edge Long Drain. The car is fairly loaded with bi-xenons, auto dimming rear mirror, Sat radio, heated front and rear seats, aluminum trim, and a few other things. Pretty much everything ordered through ECS minus the complete timing belt kit (water pump, thermostat, idlers, etc) that I ordered from Europa. Can provide receipts for everything. There are plenty of things I've updated over the years, (PCV, N80, Fuel Filter, spark plugs, etc) but I won't bore everyone with details. No CEL or fault codes on ECU since I replaced the N80 at around 75k miles.

    Below are the basic mods I've done to the car. Only problem with the car would be some minor door dings and scratched bumper.

    Mods

    Exterior: Black/Black and debadged (rings still on the front and rear).
    Cupra lip
    ECS Black Mesh RS4 Grill

    Suspension: (replaced at around 50k miles)
    OEM Audi sport springs
    Bilstein HD Dampers
    OEM RS4 Rear Sway bar

    Brakes: (replaced last fall)
    Zimmerman Rotors
    HPS Pads
    SS brake lines
    Motul 600 fluid (flushed last fall with new pads/rotors)

    Transmission:
    OEM tranny and rear diff fluid replaced last fall

    Interior:
    OEM RS4 Pedals and Foot rest
    WeatherTech Floor mats and trunk liner

    Engine:
    APR K04 S3 Turbo kit (installed at 83k miles along with carbon cleaning) Fully loaded ECU stock/91/93/100
    APR Exhaust
    HPFPupgrade Stage 1 Fuel Pump (cam followers replaced preemptively at every 10k miles)
    034 HFC
    Racetech FMIC
    R8 Coilpacks
    Eurojet PCV fix

    Tires:
    Michelin Pilot Super Sports with 70% tread remaining on OEM 17" split spoke wheels (15mm spacer on front and 20mm in rear)
    Bridgestone Blizzak WS70s on 17" Sport Edition Wheels

    The car runs awesome, is a blast to drive and I hate to get rid of it. Does anyone have any interest or suggestions on value? I will not trade it in and if I decide to sell it, I would really prefer to sell it to a fellow enthusiast. Located in southern New Hampshire.

    Unless your getting another audi or BMW to replace it then keep it... Just ride around in a different car for a week and you'll appreciate the comfort audi brings to the table...

    Haha you guys aren't making this easy because I am attached to the car.

    I'm thinking that it will be much easier to sell while I have access to a second vehicle plus it will give me more flexibility when the perfect car comes along. Nothing worse than finding the perfect car, can't sell your car quickly and getting raped on trade in. While it's just a number, once a German car hits 100k it becomes much harder to sell. Sucks because most of them don't get properly maintained (outside of this website) yet we all know they will last a long time if they are. Very frustrating.

    Not sure why you'd think a site of Audi enthusiasts would tell you to sell your Audi.
    Keep it and put miles on it; or keep it and get a 90's civic hatch to rack miles up on.
