a little help please,

have the opportunity to obtain a car with these mods! the car also has new turbos,cam belt tensioners again all by mtm. current milage 36000
fistly, i believe this would be the best spec for me as a daily driver 15k on
mostly fast a anb b roads, very little motorway cruising.
how much should i be valuing these mods on top of the standard car?
i think the susp is standard, will this be a problem?
apart from the turbos the car will effectively be bought without a warranty!
it has full audi service history but i understand there is still a problem buying a audi warranty on a car that has been out of warranty for 10 months?
any considered views would be greatly appreciated.
regards

MTM 458 is a good conversion. Would be interested in why it has had new turbos, not a major issue, just interested....
Movit's are generally good, just check the disks as these may be expensive.

As for the warranty side.... Well, you pay your money and take your chances. Warranty is such a black art these days, I often wonder if it is worth it.

Suspension really depends on what you want to do with it. If you intend to track it, put about £2500 aside to sort the suspension, bushes, and ARBs.

What's the reg, we might know it....

seems strange that they have upgraded everything but left the suspension,have a closer look it may have quattro gmbh kit fitted which looks the same as std,but then again it is an audi part.

If you go ahead, try to bargain. The truth of the matter is that a modded car is harder to sell than an unmodded one. Many owners are forced to take the car back to standard to sell. If the brakes are in good shape, the seller may be able to get a few grand for those mods as used parts, less what it costs to put the original parts back on. That's assuming he still has the original parts. Maybe that's what you need to do - test how far the seller is prepared to consider selling it as standard. If yes, then you'll need to add a grand or two to the price with mods. If he isn't then maybe call his bluff and offer what it would be worth without the mods.

(And yes I do feel a bit guilty about offering that advice).
