What recommendations are there for setting a price when selling our 2016 Audi S3 privately?

Asked by Jon

We are looking at selling our 2016 Audi S3 privately. Can you offer any advice that would help us sell at the best price. The car is in great condition with a genuine 88,000km on the speedo. We do not want to get ripped off.

If you look on the major online selling sites (including this one) you’ll find that there are plenty of cars like yours for sale. Prices seem to start around the low to mid-$30,000s with lots of choice in the mid-30s to low-40s range. Prices appear to top out (generally) around the low to mid-50s.

Audi buyers tend to be pretty switched on, so a full service history will make your car more desirable. But prices also vary according to whether the car is a sedan, hatchback or convertible and what options are fitted. Even the colour of a car like this can have a big effect on the asking price.

The best advice is to tap into some of these sites and find an exact match for your car and see what the seller is asking. Don’t forget that dealers will be asking more than private sellers and that what is being asked in the advert is not always what is being paid in reality.
