With the internet, it is a lot easier than before to find an estimate for your car value.  There are many different websites that offer some kind of car valuation service, most usually for free.  All you need to do is supply a few details such as the car make, model and age, as well as a general overview of the condition it is in, and the website comes up with an approximation of how much the car could be worth. 

Another way the internet makes it easier to value your car is by looking at sales that have gone through.  Car auction sites are particularly useful for this, and even eBay can be a good place to look.  Anywhere that shows how much a car sold for is a useful place to look.  Just be sure to look at cars that are the same model as your own, preferably with a similar age and condition.

Selling Your Audi Quickly

These tips will help you to sell your Audi quickly, regardless of where you sell it.

•    Create an advert that lists the facts about the vehicle.  This should include all details valuable to a buyer, including the year, the length of the MOT and the vehicle specs.
•    Utilize photos.  People want to see what they are buying before they consider making an offer.  If you advertise online, be sure to include numerous photos of the vehicle’s interior and exterior for the potential buyer to consider.
•    Price the vehicle right.  You do not have to price it too low, but you should research the value your Audi properly, and price it accordingly.  Use online sites to help you to determine how much vehicles like yours are selling for currently.

In general, Audis do have a high resale value, especially if the vehicle is in good condition.  These vehicles often have luxury features, or powerful engines.  If this is the case, be sure to list these features in your advert.  To sell your Audi quickly and for the right price, know what it is worth and be competitive to others selling the same make and model vehicle.

The 2009 model is packed with additional features and some aesthetic enhancements. Perhaps the car’s most immediately noticeable changes in style are the redesigned headlights, which are equipped with Audi’s very own LED daytime running lights, and the sculpted chin spoiler.

When it comes to performance, the 2009 A3 has a 2.0-litre turbo-charged engine with four cylinders, which produces 207 lb/ft of torque and 200 horsepower. The car can accelerate to 60 mph within 7.2 seconds. However, on test it was found that accelerating aggressively caused an undesirable shaking and excessive wheel spin.  This may of course have been a fault with that particular car.

Drivers of average size will find the 2009 A3’s cabin just fine. Drivers can opt to replace the front seats with sports front seats, which are more comfortable for long drives. Another feature of the A3 is the sky sunroof, which could be a turn-off for taller passengers. Really short drivers may also have problems with the range of seat adjustment available. The driver’s dead pedal (left footrest) is attached to the protruded wheelwell. The steering wheel is well positioned.

As a summary the A3 has some great features; Audi’s outstanding design and engineering, a smooth and powerful engine, impressive brakes, pleasing body styling, and an enhanced interior. The car is a bit pricey, but then you are getting a quality product for your pounds.
