As for trades, I'm honestly unsure. I am typically nervous owning Audis outside of warranty, as I am spoiled to Infiniti/Acura reliability but love of the Germans. Would it be the 99 A8 you're thinking of parting out? Unfortunately, that is sometimes best.
The car I have was a lease car in Jersey. 03 Ming Blue/Platinum with about 101,750 miles. A dealer bought it in August and just paid too much for it. They put new tires on it, did the TB/WP, replaced transfer hoses due to coolant leak, and some touch up paint on the bumper which they botched. That's the only flaw in that there is orange peel that I need to wet sand, and some clear overspray got onto the leading edge of the hood and chrome trim. Even with that which will be improved, I would definitely call this Excellent. I am putting it on AutoTrader.com for 13,500. Oh, and I'm in Tulsa, OK. Nice and central between the east, north, and west.
