Just 4 Avants for sale on Audi UK used car locater and 1 is 77k miles and other is yet to arrive.

My friend is after one having sold a 997 and this is the best he can find on paper at least, he is swayed by the warranty more than I would be.
Your comments please.

Apparently it's gone to another dealer in the group for a viewing today so he may have missed it.

This one looks tidy also. Low mileage & a more desirable colour (subjective I know).


Btw. "B7 RS4 saloon & Avant model history in Feb issue of Audi Driver magazine out 2nd Feb, followed by detailed Buying Guide in March issue." <<<What's this about??

Looks decent if you can get for less than £30k and assuming brakes, tyres are in good nick. Personally I'd prefer optics but each to their own.
Having said that, I'd rather buy from an independent if you can get the equivalent car for £2-£3k cheaper.

We think the Tonbridge one has gone.
The RS4 is going to live on a London street so only subtle colours will do, Sprint Blue is a definitely no no.
However the price of that SB one considering the mileage is good and a grey one should certainly be no more.
The search continues..

They seem a little shy by not telling the world some of these cars have Audi warranty remaining.

There's no good reason to stay in the Audi network to buy this type of car. Specialist will often have better examples for realistic prices. An Audi warranty can be purchased afterwards if necessary.

I couldn't encourage him to pay that kind of money from Meridien
£5k more than Audi and more miles?

Yup, it has (since November). Was in Watford dealership the other day having some replacement pads (FOC).
Asked the guys there why it hadn't shifted.... they said they couldn't understand it themselves.... Oh wait a minute... somebody DID buy it on finance but purchaser mucked them about so the deal fell through apparently.

Maybe it's the silver Recaros? Each to their own but they do limit the market for it.
