Just want to take a quick pole. I've been doing a lot of reading on the forum, and can't quite land on a result! Car is show room new, Artic, tan interior. What's a fair price to pay?

 

any pics?

 

No I do not have any, but I saw it in person today. Not a flaw on it, seriously, it's 1998, show room condition

 

If it's legitimately flawless at 15k miles, I'd say between 8 and 15 thousand.

 

id say closer to 15 than to 8.

 

OP I paid 9k for a 48k mile 98 ws6 A4 that was in very good condition, if that helps.

 

With that low of miles I've seen them go for around 18-20.

 

thats too high imo.

 

For 20 grand that thing better be a FireHawk.

 

I agree, I would say $12-14,000 would be a fair price on both ends

 

Yeah, back in June 2014 I paid 13k for mine with 11,613 miles on it. Drove to Florida though to get it

 

that's worth it tho, all my F bodies have been florida cars, gotta love it here, no rust, no fuss.

 

Yeah, being from where it snows and salt is put down every year, it was nice getting a Florida car. Needless to say, it is parked in the winter lol

 

A '98 A4 example? You may have seen an asking price in that range, but a sale price as such would be doubtful.

 

X2

$13-15K would be a good market value, if it was a manual trans it would bring a bit more. Just have to find the right buyer

 

$13,500-$14,500. 1 owner, full maintenance history, original OEM and purchase documents, fully up to date on fluids, filters, tires, etc, all add to the value. I recall going after a similar car back in 2011. I think it was out of Maryland. It was white, 1 owner, A4, and 10K-14K miles. It was advertised for $14,500 and sold for that price. Probably worth close to that amount today as these very low mileage WS6's have not depreciated since then....assuming no mileage added.

Hopefully, a dealer doesn't have it or the asking price could be another $2K-$5K higher. If the car is nice, and a '98 A4 is what you're after, then don't delay too long as it reasonably priced it will go. The '98 WS6's are fairly scarce as they made so few of them compared to the later years. If it still has the OEM single on the left exhaust (SOTL) that would be cool. A build date before April 1998 would ensure you won't have the issue with the roof paint bubbling (numerous old threads on this topic)....and that's a nice plus for a 1998.

 

This is why I personally prefer a '98. The various reasons why others prefer later years are either a non-issue to me or easier for me to update/change, vs. doing a proper roof repair on a '99+ (or very late '98) car. I've been through the roof repair on my '02 - even with an OE panel the fitment wasn't as perfect as the assembly line original (much of this has to do with the quality of the installation, but not many local shops have experience with this, nor would I want to do it myself.)

This is a bigger deal on the Camaros though as all the V8 models have black roofs, which exaggerates the condition.
