Service History:
The car has a Full Documented service history. With receipts, not just stamps in a book. With Audi up to around 80k, then with very good VAG specialists like Fontain and CM Tuning since then. For my 58k miles I have serviced it every 6000 miles.
All fluids have been changed regularly during its lifetime. Twice in last 3 years alone the Gearbox, rear Diff, & Power Steering. Coolant flush was done when new Water Pump was installed.
Will come with full MOT and oil change.
Overall condition:
The car runs and pulls like a train. The performance with the MRC Stage 2 map is truly astonishing, and the subtle exhaust upgrades but with OEM rear valved boxes makes a lovely but gentlemanly sound. The car has done 145k miles of which around 58k were done in the last three years with my motorway and European trips. The car does smoke a little at times but only in stop\start traffic. Never on cold startup or cruising or blasting hard. I know these cars do tend to use a bit of oil. After a recent engine flush and piston soak and changing to a good 5w40 it is much better. I’d say a litre every 1000-1500 miles.
I regularly see 29.3 mpg on a motorway run at 70mph. The car drives smoothly with zero squeaks, ticks or rattles.
The interior looks like a 30k miles car. The factory heated bucket seats are in excellent condition and the plastics\dash look amazing. I’ve seen a lot of these cars and some of the interiors are awful. This car shocks people when they first sit in it. The car has the black roof lining and rare factory black optics externally (not chrome that has been wrapped black).
The bodywork is stunning and regularly maintained and polished. It turns heads all the time. Looking closely the front bumper has some stone chips. Front wing has a tiny dent if you look for it, dent man could probably get rid. The car has the Maxton Design subtle skirts and splitter and it really sets it off. One wing mirror has a small scratch, but the bases are mint condition and no rusting etc.
The wheels were fully stripped and refurbished just over a year ago but I have managed to mark 2 of them if you look for it. The car has Michelin PS5’s all round.
The comfort and planted nature of the car cannot be understated. A lot of cars have gone down the coilovers route which we all understand. I’ve sat in both types back-to-back and make no mistake there is no contest to the original DRC. I also have a portable DRC filling machine and a full set of extra SS+ DRC shocks\flexis and new rear DRC Valves ready if ever required.
Short of a full colour-change re-spray or installation of a supercharger I don’t really know what else I can do on the car.
If someone is interested in a car like this then get in touch with an offer. I’m not wanting £20k for it but also don’t have time for Trade or silly offers.
