I like the leather, and suspect it the photo's that make it look a bit garey!!!! Go and have a look in the flesh, then make your mind up

I think it looks good...the red will look better in the flesh...at least it hasnt got the red door cards etc..this does sometimes make it a bit OTT...

The Audi sat nav is nothing to write home about anyway...a 100 quid tom tom is much better and has speed cams on!!!

The car is priced ok i think...missing sat nav is approx 1000 quid less in my expierience but the cars alresdy priced ok.

It looks well looked after as well.

NIKKIrsSIXX B5 went in Feb, I bought a B7 S4 in Dec and got the V8 bug. I dearly love the S4 and it really does take the B5 apart in most areas if not outright power and road presence.
I always try an S before I buy the RS model and the time seems right to move up, you only live once etc

For me the nav is useful, but the ability to have my music in mp3 file format, without hooking up crappy ipods is the best feature of the nav unit, not to be underestimated if you ask me
RS3 8P 2013 Phantom Black with Ally Pack and Black Optics Grille | LED Interior and number plate lights - GONE :(

Nice one Neckarsulm, im surprised you sold the B5 i imagine that would have been a good purchase for someone. I sold my Nogaro B5 6 montha ago mainly as i pampered it too much and never drove it as it was very low mileage so i went out and bought a B7 with higher miles as i knew i was going to use it more then. One single post on RS246 was all i needed to shift the B5!

These cheap B7's with above 60k on the clock are a bloody good purchase at the moment because audi have never produced a car for years which cant handle 150k plus miles.

I went to see this car but didn't drive it.
Front brakes were scrap, 3/4 wheels had damage, osf corner of bumper had been smart repaired.
And sometime between pics in the ad and now the front had come off the cup holder (odd).
Bodywork and interior were very tidy but they wouldn't move on price or do any work and I didn't fancy spending £29k on a car with illegal brakes.
Add £1200 for front discs and pads fitted, £1800 for an Audi warranty (it came with a useless RAC one), £405 for tax, £700 for RNS-E install, £250 for wheel refurb and it's no longer the bargain the sub £30k price tag originally hinted at.
And it still had red leather!

That will be because the phone hasnt been ringing due to minging leather/poor spec,its not far away enough on price yet of a desireable example,over 30k in one with red leather seats no no no

I guess we can leave the leather to personal preference, I am pretty neutral about it.
It's the condition of the body and interior that are drawing me to it, I'd rather have a mint red interior than a worn black one.
Here is another pic
