Exclamation IF I sold my 35th LE....

So I am in school right now and money is real tight. Sad thoughts about selling the (A4) LE have pondered their way in and out of my mind. I know we can't come up with a definitive number, but if i were to sell her, about how much do you think I could make? The SS has got a little less than 25,000 miles. Mods are few, but as follows:

Hooker Super Comp (1 3/4 ceramic) headers
hooker y pipe
SLP Loudmouth
(No cats)

K&N CAI
SLP 85mm MAF

B&M shift kit

Eiabach lowering springs
Spohn strut tower brace
Sphon rear sway bar

275/40R/!7 Mickey Thompsons ET Street Radials....

Paint isn't immactulate, but it is in great shape. A few scratches here and there from ignorant ****** back in high school. Granted, if I did sell, I would get all scratches and visual tarnishes fixed. Let me know what you guys think...

Ive had many people ask me what she sounds like with the current exhaust set up so here is a little clip... Thanks guys

Mileage is excellent but a real tough sell to collectors due to the mods, unless you have all the stock parts. So rule them out as potential buyers. That leaves you with regular buyers looking for a car with mods, basically a younger buyer in terrible economic times. The car is worth $14,000 but realistically you will probably have to take $12,000 - $13,000. Don't even think trade-in because that would be even less. With miles like that, try to find a way to hold onto it.

I think the 35th le are bringing more than that even with mods. But it will be hard to sell right now because of the economy. I also thought about selling mine but just don't think I could part with it.

I dont care what other cars are going for- if modds or not- a 02 car with less than 25k miles- only for 12-13k?? I dont think so- i would not think 15-16 would be out of the ball park for ya- but like the others- try to keep it..

No.

The price range between the two is far too great and they appeal to different crowds for the most part.
