The bad:

Water pump and timing chain aren’t broken, but recommend both get swapped and updated sooner rather than later.
Light fault code is tripped with the Europe spec headlights and no one has seemed to figure out how to get the high beams to work.
Spare tire trunk section clip is broken as well as the cover to the rear seat cigarette lighter.

Mods don't add much value to the car, and yours being a base 2009 non quattro non S Line, there's no way it's worth close to $12k. The only plus I see is the mileage, but even that doesn't justify the price. Glws

Per IM’s with Nano909, asking price is $9,500.

W/ CVT and needed engine maintenance car is worth 4500 max. If timing chain, water pump done worth 6500. Sell all mods separate recoup 25%
Car is worst model audi ever sold
Terrible engine, worst transmission, water pump failure, steering judder from too small lines, suspension issues, electrical issues, balancer failure around 115k, high pressure fuel line failures, fuel pump failures, engine mount failures, differential failures etc.
stay far away unless you have 10k for maintenance

b8s maybe not that bad but 9k for 09 FWD is way way too much. No point in B8 A4 with no quattro anyway

I was interested to see the response this thread got with that price tag, because it's tough to price a car sometimes. Some people say mods add no value, others say it does, at the end of the day it is worth what somebody is willing to pay.

FWIW, I listed by 09 Quattro with mods in my sig (and all maintenance from rear main, to timing components, plugs, R8 coils, new tires etc. - most done in the last year) for $10k or best and haven't gotten a bite. Realistically, if I had an offer of $8k I'd probably take it. Any less than that, and it's more valuable in my garage.

Good luck with your sale.

Makes sense and thanks for that insight! I (obviously) had no idea how to price this car but I wanted to make sure I didn’t do the opposite and start off too low. I’m seeing the same FWD ‘09’s with 20k more miles than my own listed at $8k+ on KBB/Edmunds. Lowest I’ve seen out there for like-for-like are around $5.5k. I’m fine with $7k, just trying to move on.

The people asking 8k will take 5500 after it sits for 6 months with no interest. An 11 year car with notorious and well document major issues will never get more than 6500 and that’s with the major issues being dealt with. Mods only make that car more dangerous not less, that’s why selling separate is a better idea.

Sell it to carmax or to a used car dealership that doesn't know any better.
