does 4,000 Seem fair?

 

With 116 on the clock I don't think you'll get 4K but it's worth a shot. It's all about supply and demand. Find where the car is rare and sought after and you;ll find where you'll get the most for it.

 

well just to give you an idea...i sold my 95 TSI-AWD for $4800. So 4000 might be a bit of a stretch. i would think that maybe around 3000-3500 is what you are looking at.

 

I guess i will just have to keep on dreaming..............
LOL

 

difference between the TSi AWD is it was a 95...the 97s are much more appealing. But keeping in Mind I sold my 2000 GS with 102k miles for $8500 and I have a turbo kit for it ready for install and a bunch of other stuff... I gave him $7800 in reciepts or repaires maintenance and MODDS and I lost a bunch over the 2.5 years I owned that car.

I say ask $4000 and you will find someone stupid enough to over pay for it (no offense about that comment either lol) I mean theEngineers talon was a complete POS and someone was going to pay $5700 for it and at the time he said no Now he settled for $4800 a year later. I know you RS is in good shape from the pics you posted so I say go for it.

 

Supply and demand. There will always be SOMEONE willing to pay for it.
