RE: selling a 99 A3
Jeremy,
Except for the Bose stereo, my 97 is identical to yours. I paid under $22k
for mine (including TT&L). Now, I'm not saying you should sell it for less
because I paid less, but by the same token you shouldn't be selling for more
because you paid more.
Kelley Blue Book "retail" values have always been high. Try using NADA
instead.
