that looks like the same seller (location from the photos) with a S6 and recently sold another noggy blue S4

certainly looks very cheap - a little too cheap as you say! but maybe the seller needs sell quickly...

god that's cheap for a 66k facelift! If it's genuine it's a bargain.

Why has it got the pre-facelift analogue clock?

I've asked for the number plate as if the car checks out i'll be very interested in buying it.

Look at the second picture. You can clearly see the rev counter and underneath it looks like the old style analogue clock. Could be my eyes but definitely doesn't look like a digital clock like over on the right.

I think it might be your eyes! Clock is on the rev counter. Looks digital.

Looks like a facelift to me, clocks look right to me, console if definetly facelift version. Rear bumper is facelift one too. Headlights look right.

The only thing that doesn't look right too me is the cream interior with black carpets.

Bootlid lock looks same as my facelift car, in fact everything looks facelift.
Seems too cheap to me though

I emailed the seller asking for the reg plate and he said it's sold now. Can't believe I missed that one. It's exactly what I'm looking for!

Cat D apparantly. Nice of him to mention that in the advert eh! Wouldn't have put me off to be honest if the repair had been top notch.

My facelift doesn't have the bootlid lock - thought this was only prefacelift and the transitional cars. Maybe for cars without remote locking?

Interesting that it is Cat D, but no duty to tell anyone that (ie buyer beware). If you ask and they lie then its a different matter...
