Yes, I've noticed a lot of low milers for sale have missed oil changes; you are right, the oil needs to be changed even if the car doesn't do many miles.

Yes, my B7 has gone now after 7.5 years. I still look outside expecting to see it there.

Why not try pm'ing the owner directly from the link on here. I bet he wants less than £25K for a private sale. Put it into Audi for one of their free health checks beforehand so you know if any work needs doing

Am I correct in thinking I shouldn't buy the TH Boler car! It looked such a good buy to me but I trust your opinions and they are much appreciated.
The black one does look good and I did email him a couple of weeks back but didn't hear back, I'll message again I think.
What about this one:

Doesn't have the wing backs but looks the biz.

£25k would be a steal though🙃
Cheers all

thats a more popular color-has the mature aluminium trim and seats[not a fan of the wingbacks myself except for visuals tbh] cant see what spec it is though
it has to be higher spec than the silver one lol

Is that for the Boler car?
I'd love to purchase a car off a forum member member, I'll put something in the wanted section I think.


These two both look good too though:

Yes! at 29k it's over priced! Especially if you want to drive it!

There was a sprint blue avant on the net recently with very low miles for around similar money let me see if I can find it.

Why is everyone saying the silver avant is low spec? Is it because it doesn't have an outdated sat nav? It still has carbon, wing backs, fbsw and no phone holder stuck on the dashboard.

I'm not a fan of silver and it's expensive but I wouldn't say it was low spec. The only thing on it I would miss would be not having the auto-dip rear view mirror.

No auto lights or wipers either.
