selling your 200 (Fletch)

[gfl@cc.bellcore.com (grant f lenahan)]

Eric,

I agree with all the points in the previous post.
Ad's are positive (but truthful).  Punch it up.

Just as important, isn't there a used car magazine in
your neck of the woods?  In the first two weeks I had my
4000q for sale, I had signs, on the list, etc.  Nothing -
nada.

I then put it in the "Want Ad Press", the NYC metro
100+page used car weekly.  On the firs6t Saturday, I had three
people look at my car, and all three made (reasonable) offers.
It was gone in hours.

Audis in general and Qs in particular are specialty items.
Most people dont want ANY car with 100+k miles.  Common wisdom
is that its DEAD.  For most cars, true.

You need to find the 1/4 of 1% who know what you have,
and want it.  They will pay (or you shouldn;t sell).  be
patient, hit the right magazines, and don;t knock
your own car -- that's the buyer's job :-)

Dunno about the price.  Check the blue book and go a bit
high.  Any car on thisd list is above-average w/r/t maintenance.
