I had a similar build,unique combination for sale recently. https://rennlist.com/forums/vehicle-...b-ceramic.html. You’ll find the right buyer. These special builds are not”commodities “ like the dealers claim they are when trading them in. Be patient. Another car like your won’t come along to easy. GLWS.

I think given the high spec, special color and low miles this is worth a lot. Also harder and harder to find manuals so, albeit to a small segment, there is a premium to this car. I would not accept 80k for this. I think it’s solid 90k to the right buyer - maybe a touch lower to get a deal done. This is a wondeful car. Good luck with whatever you decide.

OP, best thing for you to do if you want to sell it is sell privately. No dealer is going to give you value for the options on that car.

That's a very nice spec and color! You really should drive it a bit more in my opinion!
My thought on an unusually nice build like this with a nice special color, especially one with very low miles, is that dealers and most buyers won't give you much more for it than a similarly-aged "common" Carrera S. That would have been less than $80k though at a dealer, so they did compensate somewhat for the car and its miles. However, I think eventually the right buyer looking for a special jewel would be willing to pay a price more in line with your wishes, but that might require a fair amount of patience and work to keep it posted for sale where those special buyers will find it.
I don't know if the sales-tax difference rules give you any trade-in benefit in Connecticut, but I know in Texas trading the car is worth 6.25% of the trade, or exactly $5k on 80 grand. That's always a significant variable at play when I trying to decide whether to go to the trouble of a private-party sale vs a trade... and I've gone both ways depending on the car.

You're more likely to see me in my upcoming 991.2S in Miami Blue
But certainly honk away.3K miles on the clock after these years with the prognosis of another 1-2K only for couple upcoming years?...- I can only say you are doing excellent job for the next owner. LOL
IMO nothing short of 991.1 GTS or 991.2 GTt beats this NA 7MT CS. I would keep it drive it and enjoy it. Why keep it as a garage queen and then sell/trade-in for 40K less than paid. What the point? Unless you, like many out here, have an itch for an upgrade. Then it's different story..: And I understand
And my guess on the value would be mid to high 80s if you sell direct and high 70s if you trade-in.

Is this a FOR SALE ad??
With all due respect, you have a $$ for a trade in already, and you have a $$ in mind for what you want for it. You don't really seem to need the "advice" since you obviously know what you want for the car. Just make an ad and list it??
The build is incredible, the color combo is a very narrow market. You have to balance the +/-'s there.

Thanks. It sure is, though, I have seen a few other larger builds (Burmester, X51, PDK on top of everything on this one).

Nice build, unique car. Worth more to the right buyer but IMHO 90K is a stretch. Join the PCA and list it there, you'll get at the type of buyer who might add more value for the options.

Well, at the time I traded in my M4 and she wanted out of her Macan S (we also both had Macan S' concurrently) and it just came down to us really liking the car and were able to secure 2 (as well as good discounts) when there were not many around. I am certainly going to miss the car. I think it made a great daily driver and boy was it fun to drive! Sounded incredible and had a lot of good qualities. Wish they went even more aggressive than they did in the styling, but it never did anything but put a smile on my face driving it. Great Audi RS product.
Thanks. Had not thought of that.

You have a RL membership. List in the classifieds here and call it a day. A lot of exposure here.
Mention on HFS too and will get it sold if price is right. The #1 991.1 pre-owned resource in the world.
I'd suggest $86K. Let's get this car to a Rennlister here.

Or best offer
Car only has 3K miles. Hopefully clean CarFax.
Might get free sunglasses from Porsche beige dash lawsuit too
To the OP >> car is losing $300-$500/mo at this point in the next 12-24 months. Better sell sooner than later.
Best to do the courtesy of listing on Rennlist too seeing you got lots of responses to your questions.

Nice Build with good options.
High MSRP and Low Miles in your favor for a private buyer but not at the dealer.
Private Party = $85K
Trade In $75
$90 is too optimistic, perhaps as a CPO from a dealer. For that price most would opt for a warranty.
Just my personal opinion from following the market.
Good Luck. Let us know how it turns out.
