agree, my daily hack is a 1998 TDI passat, bought with 101k miles, still going strong at 203k !!
mileage does not scare me.

I agree with the earlier post - you may be better off going down the approve used route. Do your best to find a car at an Audi garage, and make sure you wander in to do the deal very near to the end of the month, so that the salesman is under serious pressure from the sales manager to shift best part of £30k stock before they have to finance it for another month. If you can wait 'till the end of March do that as big garages like to shift stock before the end of the tax year.
I bought my car like this on the last day of November and got best part of £5k thrown at the deal by the dealer, plus negotiation on extended warranty etc.
This is about the third time I've bought a car using this timing method and it's always worked for me.
Good luck!

What about if you buy a low mile one and then put miles on it?aidanjaye wrote:wellzieRS4 wrote:Yeah i would avoid that i got mine from a mini dealer 25k on the clock exclusive leather un that 1 owner 4 28.5k its not that cheap should be 26k with that many owners you be better off with more miles on one than loads of owners, it must have faults spent most of its life in a garage that why it low mileage
PS must say mines had faults nothing much only EVERY F**KING PART THAT MAKES UP THE CLUTCH but its being sorted foc (thank f**k) stick to a main dealer preferably Audi
