Car is now at just over 60,000 miles. Audi extended warranty is until December 2014 and mot til November 2014

A lot of people have made comments along the lines of "it can't be a 56 plate - it looks brand new" - I disagree of course but its nice to hear !
The only mechanical negative really is that front discs are slightly lipped but not needing replacing for a while yet. rears are fine as had them done at MRC as mentioned above
All the leather is treated weekly with gliptone liquid leather. rear seats look like new, front passenger seat looks pretty much like new and drivers one whilst not damaged in any way does suffer from a bit of bolster wear but purely cosmetic - no damage to leather in fact as soon as its treated with Gliptone it looks like new again.
the last two items on the list of work done are advisories which came up at the 60k service. One is being done under warranty, the other I am getting done anyway even though the garage said it can wait until the next service.
Yes I could save myself some money but I want the car to be as good as it can be for its next owner
below are some pictures which hopefully will do the talking
and of course if you missed it when it was on TV earlier in the year
here it is on Fifth Gear http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=t4SPzriz4SY
I'm looking for £23,000 or sensible offers in this region. pm if you are genuinly interested.
I would also add the car would only be available for viewing during the daytime and at my place of work for reasons i'm sure I don't need to explain !!
