I fully intended to own this car for the next 30+ years however my wife's battle with breast cancer has changed perspective on things.

As some of you know I'm a professional detailer. I guarantee the presentation of this car is top notch.
This car has the factory origional RMS still in place and dry as a bone.
In the interest of full disclosure:
-Car has a small rock chip in the front windsheild that has been repaired
-Small oil leak from the valve covers. (drip here or there on the floor of the garage.)
-Front end was repainted by a previous owner for rock chips. There are some new rock chips present but nothing horrible. Paint work was first rate
-Small scrapes on the underside of the front bumper from a Previous owner. They have been touched up and are not obvious
-There are two small dings on the passengers side of the car. One from the PO and one minor one that would be a perfect candidate for PDR.
-Typical wear on seat bolsters
Price: $24,000

Sorry to hear about your wife. I hope her battle with cancer goes well...
Your car is beautiful, and I'm sure you hate to sell it. Good luck with the sale.
Thanks gent. She's a fighter and we WILL get past the cancer. You can take quite a bit from her but not her strong will and great attitude.
However, Having four cars right now when all of my time and effort is directed towards her doesn't make a whole lot of sense. I rarely drive the 996 these dyas. I hope that someone can give the car a great home and get the same enjoyment out of it that I do.
Andy - nice looking lady! I am very sorry to hear about your wife's battle with cancer! I hope and pray that she will recover completely.
I have always liked your car. I wish I were in the market for a 996 at this time. Good Luck with the sale!
Andy, your car has always been one of the nicest examples here. I agree with ED...she is a beautiful lady. You have your priorities right. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your wife.
Andy, sorry to hear the news of your wife and the car. As others have said - you have a beautiful wife - protect her and the car can be replaced later.
Good luck with the sale.
Andy you have my sympathies 100%. Cancer took my best friend (my Dad) from me a few years ago and I can understand what you are going through with this fight. Be strong and know we are always hear to lend an ear. All the best to you and your wife on the road to remission!
Sorry, Ive been out of the scene for awhile. You have one of the best examples of a Mk1 in this forum, GLWTS. Be stong and fight hard, my best wishes to you and your family.
I wanted to thank everyone here and that's sent me a PM for the show of support. Thank you all very much!
Also, here are a few more pictures of other details on the car.

Andy
Thanks again to everyone.
As of Monday I accepted an offer on the car and should have purchase agreement and deposit in hand soon.
I'm very happy to say the car will stay within the Rennlist family and is headed to a great new home.
Andy
Hi Andy. My prayers are with you. Having just lost my wife to cancer in March (not breast cancer), I can empathize with your situation. She'll beat it. Keep believing.
Please let me know if the deal doesn't go through. I'm trying to convince my father to get into a P-Car... and yours would be perfect.
That really sucks. I'd buy it in a heartbeat with know worries. Only problem is I have 5 cars, 1 wife, 1 kid, and one on the way in 2 months. Something has to give
Give me a call Andy.....
Hey Andy, I just decided to check in on Rennlist and wish your wife a speedy recovery! This is a stunning example of a MK1 Aero and to those that are interested the minor valve cover leak is nothing to worry about at all - I had that same issue but the car passed the PPI with flying colors and the new owner is still extremely happy!
Best of luck with the sale, I'm surprised at that price it hasn't already gone!
Mick
Mick,
Thanks for the kind words. The real burn of this deal was I had an offer of $1K more than my asking price last week when I thought it was spoken for and that buyer made a move on another car in the couple days it took me to figure out the origional buyer was backing out. None the less his offer was flattering and I feel a compliment to the car.
I had the used car manager at the local Porsche dealer offer me a suprisingly attractive price on the car this past weekend too. Not enough to buy it but I was expecting the worst and was pleasantly suprised with what he offered me to buy it outright.
Andy
Sorry to hear about your lovely wife, I pray that she will be healthy soon.
Not that again...tell him to get a Toyota if that is what he worried about...
Your car is awsome, good luck on selling it, it is very nice car.
Tony C
Andy - My thoughts/prayers are with you for your wife's speedy recovery. Re the car, a guy offered me about the same that you're asking for my '99 aero. I'll send him your info and let you know if he's interested asap.
Bob
Hey Audi,
Saw you on Rings Rd, crossing Frantz Rd at lunch. The car looks great! I actually took my 928 to work today. If I had the extra money I'd be all over your car. Best of luck with everything.
Yep small world. I've seen your posts on here, but until today, I've never seen the car around. Looks great! My sister spotted it before me. She made a comment on it, and I remembered it was up for sale on here.
