A4 2.8 Quattro Avante Sports (2000) , new MOT, 6mths tax, FSH

[hayesjim]

Sadly my annual mileage has risen a lot recently, and the local (London)
council have decided to sting me for 1/2 the price of my council tax just to park on the street, so I'm reluctantly looking to sell it.
It's got a new MOT (expires 17.10.2012), tax until end April 2012, and full service history.
Overall it still looks nice inside and out, starts and drives very nicely and everything works, tyres are fine and it's never given me a single problem.
It has the factory options sports kit - sports suspension, full leather seats/trim in dark grey and alloys, electric lumbar adjustable seats etc plus all the usual electric everything.
I bought it from a friend of my dads - who got it from his daughter - before that a new demo car for a London Dealership.

Downsides? 151,000 miles (even if it doesn't feel like it has - it still absolutely flies to say the least and gives me 30mpg on my weekly Salisbury/inner London run)
2 small ( 1" - 2" 2mm deep) dents on drivers front wing, rear bumper has had a bump NS with a couple of 6" hairline cracks and a bit of marking, very shallow (5mm or so) dent on tailgate around audi badge, some stone chips and light scratches of course.
The usual sort of thing for a ten year old car in other words, likewise the interior - a bit of wear but nothing at all tatty.

Drop me a line if you'd like to know more, see more/bigger photos etc - I'm still using it 5 days a week and won't be all that worried it doesn't sell, it's just that I really should cut back a little on the car costs seeing as all I'm doing is commuting London/Stonehenge each week.

Cheers then,
Jim.

Indeed - on both counts.
If I move out of London I'll be looking for another, and even if I don't I might consider it when I get sick of the old Astra Diesel I've got to replace it. At least I got to drive it for a year at a cost of only a couple of hundred quid once I'd put a new test on it.


Apparently you can get a pre 2001 2 litre version with 180bhp? I presume that's a turbo.
That would put the residents parking charge in the excruciatingly expensive rather than totally insane band, at least.

I'm amazed you can get such nice cars for so little money, I have to say. Fuels a bit pricey but not that crazy - if I was still doing the 2 to 3 k a year I did up until last year it wouldn't even be an issue.
Today was the only inquiry I'd had in 10 days - no one else interested at all. I was quite looking forward to keeping it really!

I had a W plate 1.8T Avant Sport in Ming Blue, full leather, winter pack, glass roof, bose upgrade, in fact the only thing it didn't have was cruise. I loved it and it returned no less than 35mpg all the time. I had that mapped via PSI using Custom Code software. Gave it around 180 bhp and it flew. Very good cars for the money, bit like the A6's.
