Re: selling a 99 A3

["jeremy schroetter" <schroett@sprynet.com>]

i guess so.  
but, i don't think that 20k on a 99 is that harsh.
owned since 8/98 - 12/99
20000/16 = 1250
1 year - 15,000 miles.  those are even lease terms in the
real world.

i guess there is no disparity in comparing a 97-98-99 jetta.
regardless of miles, they are all worth the same?  
i would think that the model year would make some difference
in the price.  i know that i am griping, but i feel it is necessary,
since i am going to take a loss, in my estimation.   

i haven't mentioned another reason the car is undervalued..
a large number of lease returns... 

i am just pointing out the fact that THIS particular car
is very strange in the given market.  anyone have a NADA 
book to tell me the REAL value of this car?

my new plan is to sell the car in the spring and hopefully 
get 16,000$ out of it.
