Quick butchers on Autotrader and there was a Quattro S-Line for £7250.

I don't think it has Nav or heated leather seats, but that's probably offset by the S-Line wheels, 'look' etc.

Edit: here it is http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classif...172hd/page/1/keywords/170/radius/60?logcode=p

Edit 2: I think this is basically your car, but without Nav?leather but it's done half the miles:

So trade-in I reckon £6k to £6.5k using the 2 examples above.

Depends where you are trading it in really, and what against.

AndrewNR · 23 Mar 2013 at 14:13

Aye, if it's against an Enzo, increase my value to about 8k.

Mr-White · 23 Mar 2013 at 14:31

The spec i'm looking at trading it in against is £12k, 2 door, petrol coupe

I paid £9690 for it exactly 2 years ago if that helps

Some of the options fitted may be worth more selling separate if you can be bothered to source lower spec replacements. I'm sure the RNS-e modules go for a lot.

The £6-£6.5 k sounds reasonable. I've got a 2005 A4 2.0 TDI 140 Multitronic (Low spec) and I think they are going for £4-£5.5k.

I guess you bought it through trade? Buying through trade and then trading it in is always going to cost a bit for having an 'easier' process, so again I think 6-6.5k (3k depreciation in 2 years) seems reasonable.

Mr-White · 23 Mar 2013 at 14:43

I bought it from a local car dealer, price looked about right when I checked before buying it.

Is it worth it? trading something that retails for 8-9 and buying something for 12?

You have a pretty solid well specced car now.

Put your reg in glass guide that will give you a good idea

It seems to be worth more than I thought so budget maybe upto £14k. I'm looking to change because I don't need a 4 door diesel saloon, I'm the only one that ever goes in my car so I want to get something smaller.

Undecided, something matching the spec mentioned above.

So you're going to get a 3 series?

Well you say you want something smaller, was going to point out most 2 door coupes are larger than the equivalent 4 door saloon. This is certainly the case with the 3 series and the A5.

Mr-White · 23 Mar 2013 at 21:16

Nothing that big

paradigm said:

I did look at the S5 but they're about £5k out my price range.

Maybe a 350z or a 370z if I hold off a few more months.
