Am I asking too much? http://fayar.craigslist.org/cto/5042596957.html
I tried to leave myself some wiggle room but not trying to scare them off.
Paint is shiny but scratched in a few spots. Clear is dead on the rs wing. Interior fabrics have faded some from the sun. But it feels like an excellent driver. Change the oil and I wouldn't be scared to drive it anywhere.

Looks like you're on the lower end of the $6750-$10,000 range that most are being offered at. In the end it all comes down to condition and how well serviced and maintained the car is. Definitely not too high. A dealer in my area had a silver 2000 SS A4 convertible with 74K miles a couple years back which they probably got $8500-$9000 for (had a rear end whine, one quarter panel was repainted, typical cold lifter slap). Prices haven't really changed in that time. No doubt most potential buyers will try to hit you hard on the paint. If it's just on the aftermarket wing, that's almost a non issue. Might not be a bad idea to get it painted. No idea if buyers would look at the ground effects/wing a negative, neutral, or plus.

Things like the sport appearance package and convertible top are options that generally aren't as popular with the 4th gen crowd, so that will limit buyers. For many cars, being a convertible increases value but 4th gen buyers seem to prefer hard or t-tops. The ground effects are a matter of preference, but many seem to dislike this option.
The asking price is probably fair to start but, all options and flaws considered, IMO you'd have to be willing to come down 10-15% during negotiation to get the car sold.
