Here is some data from the US' largest auction site (Manheim.com) This data is typically "dealer only" info and is great to have to go into a negotiation with.

I thought it was interesting and figured I would post it for you guys. Let me want to run another car for you...

Condition: Above Average Below
Auction: $19,600 $16,750 $13,900
Est.Retail $21,700 $18,600 $15,500

If you want to know specific numbers, a couple of months ago I paid $20.1K before fees for a 2005 4.2 mint with 43K miles under warranty and no paintwork.

Based on the following sales

02/18/09 NADE Regular $5,350 141,041 Below GRAY 6GT A

02/11/09 NADE Regular $10,600 61,752 Avg BU 6GT A

01/21/09 MILWAUKE Regular $9,250 66,407 Avg GREY 6GT A

01/15/09 RIVRSIDE Regular $13,750 44,320 Above GREEN 6GT A

01/14/09 NADE Regular $9,150 109,532 Avg Gray 6GT

Again, these are auction prices, ie, what the wholesale dealers pay for them. Its good info to have going into a negotiation.

For example, for a dealer to prep a car, you need to add auction fee, transport to dealer, detail, door dings/wheel scuffs/etc, mats/books if needed, and sometimes cars will need brakes/tires etc but not always.

Thanks. GM advised me trade-in on mine was 6k to 11k. Not a chance.

presentable to the discriminating pubic buyer. Auctions are the way to go, but you need someone like Bruce (with a great eye and Audi knowledge) to represent you to get the best buy and a vehicle you would approve of.

On how many sales is this based? Can't be very many.

yep, those prices are low or poor quality ARs.
