Default Sell My 99' T/a for a CETA?

is it worth it to sell my 99 t/a for an 02 CETA? both are stock motors. the ceta is an m6 and mine is an a4. the ceta has 120k miles but my t/a has 130k and new seats (corbeau), rims, viper alarm, slp exhaust, system with a DD headunit.
my paint is not that great. it has some paint flaking off. i havent seen the ceta yet but he is the second owner with all the paperwork. he also wants about 10.5k for it. so is it worth trading my regular t/a (non ws6) for this ceta?

120k miles no matter what it is isn't worth $10,000 unless it's a Corvette or something high end. If it were me I wouldn't sell to buy something in equal condition. I'd sell yours then go look for a low mile (under 50k) version which can be had for about $4000 more dollars. For some reason though everybody with a 100k+ WS6 Trans Am still thinks it's worth over $10,000. Why this I have no idea. Especially has I mentioned 40k mile ones (non CE) are in the low teens. Keep looking.

trade!

less miles, collector item, better color combo, it would be a no brainer to me.

I miss read your thread, if his car is in proper working order and fairly clean condition, a straight up trade would be smart. But... it's never that easy.

I don't see 10.5K for a 120,000 mile CETA

Throw out ANY notion of 'collector value' on this car or most any car for that matter with 120k miles unless it is a muscle car from the 60's or early 70's. Collectors mostly want low mileage, stock cars. There are always exceptons but a CETA not likely for the next 30+ years with those miles.
