Wanted - (possibly modified) estate up to £12k

Post by Russboy » Wed Aug 08, 2007 5:13 pm

Well looks like the Evo is sold :cry: Will prob shed a tear when it goes, most fun i've ever had in a car, plus owes me a damned fortune!!!

Anyway onwards and upwards, decided on a £12k (ish) budget at max, and def need an estate car as sometimes I have to nip to the cash and carry, plus need the boot space for the 2 large hounds!

So, anyone know of anything up for sale, or that might be for sale?

Doesnt have to use up all the £12k budget, but upper end will poss get me something newer, and more improtantly quicker I suppose!

Cheers,

Russ

Well done, you can read, albeit badly.

Acually says "Soon to be replacerd by S4/RS4 Avant " and yes I know I should have changed the spelling by now before you point that out. Got anything constructive to say, or just pissing on my post? :lol:

Orig planned to go for an RS4 Avant, but decided I cant justify sticking that much cash into a car that'll only cover about 3k miles a year, so more likely an S4 or something similar.

Anyone got anything useful to say, i.e know anyone with a tidy S4 Avant they're looking to sell?

cheers,

Russ

Ahh but the sig was there long before this thread was started, yes the plans have changed, or not as the case may be as someone had just offered me an RS4 avant, obviously at more than £12k.

Sure whatever you drive will prob piss over an S4, but im going for a bit of practicality now and moving to a slower car. If I wanted to stop you pissing all over whatever car I drive i'd keep the Evo :D

See I can also read sigs "M5,Short Shifter uprated Arb's hayward & scott silencers & alot of grunt...and launch control..
supercharger on the cards..600bhp woohoo... " but have you actually got that supercharger yet, maybe your sig is out of date, but as I dont really give a flying feck who you are or what you drive in the big scheme of things it doesnt really matter.

I also am off for a pint, thankfully owning a pub I dont have to walk far to get one

Well the Evo went on Sat so money is now sitting in my account waiting to be spent on the right car. Anyone know of anything?

Have had an offer or two from here (thanks guys), not a fan of red cars in general, and totally loving Nogaro blue (im not fussy am I!)

Cheers,

Russ

Just went to look at this as it was only a few miles down the road in Chertsey:

Image

Image

Image

Image

"1999 V Reg AUDI S4 Avant Quattro5 Doors, Manual, Estate, Petrol, 103,000 miles. ABS, Adjustable seats, Adjustable steering column/wheel, Alloy wheels, Computer, Driver airbag, Electric mirrors, Electric windows, Foglights, Head restraints, Headlight washers, Folding rear seats, Lumbar support, Immobiliser, Passenger airbag, Power assisted steering, Remote locking, Roof rails, Side airbags, Rear headrests, Sports seats, Traction control. Air conditioning, Bose sound, 17in Alloys, New brakes front & rear, Full service history (10 stamps, last at 97k in 12/2006) £8,995. "

Owner wasnt about, as he was out at a bodyshop, being sold via the trade you see, but I decided to have a quick nose about. All the shut lines etc were fine and no dodgy coloured panels, all arches solid etc etc.

Now, it was quiet clean, one small car parking dent, couple of scratches and a little bit of rust on a piece of trim, nowt major, but it just didnt seem to blow me away???

Wondering if its the colour putting me off? Ideally Nogaro blue, then black, then the dark blue in choice of colour for me really but thought silver would still be cool.

Another starnge thing is that my mate who works for VW has had a nose on their computer and it doesnt exist within the VAG world, suggesting it wasnt first registered in the UK, maybe an import?

Out of interest, is it still on the original Turbos? My A6 K03s started to go at 105k miles, so part exchanged the car before it cost me £3k+.
