Well it’s worth quite a bit more than $9k. At $15k it’s already a fair purchase price for what it is. If I were him I wouldn’t accept anything below that and he will get it. Now if time is of no issue, I’d be looking for a true enthusiast to unload it to for high teens. I’m surprised he didn’t blow up all of the VAG forums with this, after all it’s free and more exposure.
really? I would bet a coke that it gets zero bids. You down?
I haven’t purchased a single vehicle off of eBay. So I won’t accept that bet. However, I will counter bet you at that he will sell it at no less than $13k(that is if he’s in his right mind not to let it go below that) for a six pack of your favorite beverage, you down? If he ever to lower it to that much($13k), I’d fly to Cali myself and buy it from him. I don’t think he should budge at $15 at all. Just flood the internet with mass ads and it will sell.
Im on the side with Mr. Wrong. While i do not like Avants at all, i feel like many people do and they sell at a premium especially with a manual. And if its under 60k miles like it says i would think he could get 13k. 9k seems awfully low.
Although i do find it a bit strange that he hasnt posted it on any of the main sites where he would see the most hits and exposure to sell.
Sakimano, looks like I shouldve taken your your bet sir, as you’d owe me a can of Coke by now. He has two bids already. Ohh well… ;D
I feel you Eddie, I hated Avants with passion just not too long ago. Now I’d love to grab one as a stable mate to my sedan. I guess it’s one of the effects of aging LOL Give it sometime and you’ll be itching for one yourself hahah
FIY does anyone know how much last B6 Manual Avant with under 60k on the clock in common color sold for in a swift private sale, just because owner didn’t know what he had? Mid teens. I’m not a Noggy fan, but I do appreciate rarity. Someone’s going to get and awesome Avant S4.
That’s what I don’t get. I’ve seen this time and time again. Decent examples are not posted on the forums, on which all of these owners are registered members. It’s free exposure in an enthusiast community, WTF??? Could someone explain this one to me?
yeah that was a dumb bet because I really mean hard cash buyers at whatever price above $15,000
The problem on ebay is that an 18 year college student can dream about owning a car, bid on it, win and then bail out with virtually zero repurcussions.
If you do want to bet, I will firmly bet he doesn’t sell for $15,000. We can watch for fun. I don’t think the bidder will close though.
p.s. FYI he cancelled that auction and put up another one at $15,000 opening, $25,000 buy it now
0 bids
Lol same here in used to think wagons were bleechhhh but now its grown on me after seeing a few and rideing in a few. I really want to think its not because Im getting older LOL
I think a lot of enthusists dont think to sell on the forums and a lot of just average car people dont even know the power of the forums. I also think lots of people dont try to sell cars on the forums because on the forums people already own these cars so they dont exactly go looking for cars. Your trying to sell a car to people who already own the car your selling.
Saki I think your right. I dont think he will take less then 15 but I think it will take less then 15 for it to sell
Btw last auctions bidding ended at 17,2. Ofcourse reserve was not met as his buy it now was still at $25k. I’d love to see how much he’ll end up selling it for.
The 17.2 bid was that people bidding or was that a starting bid. 17.2 isnt too bad
15 was a starting point and with four bidders and eight bids it went up to 17,2 with reserve not met.
Back on the s3 topic. How has the car been? Really looks great in blue, I bet it’s a fun car to zip around in. Has anywoje ran 12.x stock, tune only is deep 12s full exhaust is mid high 11s right? I really like the motor in these! When is the rs3 coming?! 
At first I thought you were talking about the S4. The S3 seems to be doing really well with a few simple mods. They are performance wise close to the GTI cars
Might be a cool car to mess around with! If you wanted the turbo feel in a car, I bet no let modded it will gets 25-30 mpg and is quick fast stock turbo and FBO of course. I love the way 5 cyl sounds, not a v10 but burblet and unique. Is the motor pretty much the same as the gti? Same dsg?
He currently has two bids. It’s now sitting at $20,250
Hah beat me to it, just saw it today and wanted to post. I’d take that and run with it! That’s a great tag for a seller!
Looks like it just needed to be put in front of the right people
did it sell?
p.s. he works at NASAJPL. Neat.
Yup, $27,520 USD.
