Hey Lightnin', long time no hear. Sorry to hear you've decided not to keep the car. We never did get to take that canyon drive together that we'd been promising ourselves...

[lightninhopkins]

Hey there, how have you been?

Funny, I have this site bookmarked, but as I add more bookmarks that I need to frequent, this falls behind and I forgot to click it.

Canyon drive? Actually I just got 3 of the GoPro HD cams with the suction cups. Been meaning to take a trip though the Malibu canyons and get some killer HD footage of the car in action.

[desperado]

Good, thanks.

We'd all love to see that footage when you edit it together! Maybe you need a chase car, too?

[lightninhopkins]

hahaha. that's what i was thinking. even 3 cars would be cool. one front view, one back view, one on the engine or tachometer/speedo.

I posted this on the media link in the forum here: http://vimeo.com/13991078

You should get 110 seeing as the car comes with its' own awesome video. Show me another car that looks this great on film.

Should I just sell mine for $99K firm? It's in immaculate condition.

Unfortunately, that is not an unrealistic price. Prices have dropped and will most likely continue. It also depends on who you are selling it to. A dealer or reseller will need a margin to make it worth their while. An end user will be your best best, but a lot of them feel better dealing with a business. I would consider that offer or decide to keep the car and enjoy it...

I considered selling my 2009 and and I saw offers from 87K-105K. I had one place that would have put it on consignment with 110K expected to go to me. I did see some listed on AutoTrader and Cars.com for 119-129K, but I do not think they are moving in that price range. My final decision was to keep the car and have fun.

Good luck.

The R8 that came in on the same transport as mine just sold for $127,900. It was a 2009, R-tronic with ~3,000 miles. He sold it through the dealer on consignment with a 5% fee.

If you search for R8's in the zip code 55449 there are none listed within a 500 mile radius. Maybe you should transport your car to MN and sell through the local Audi dealer. There are only three Audi dealers in the state. Two of them are located in the twin-cities. Both of these are owned by one person.

Since yours is in immaculate cond.-you should get TOP DOLLAR. 99k sounds like a steal. Plus the buyer could fudge the price at DMV for taxes. I saved over5k on taxes by fibbing a little bit.(A 50k fib). No wonder Cali. is going broke. I just don't want to be broke.
