I subscribe to the 'get what you pay for' notion - and if I was looking for one again....

Just way too close to the price of a B7 to appeal to anyone but a diehard TBH.

Depends if they want the buzz of the forced induction though doesn't it and a showcar to boot. I still think it's over-priced but then the low miles on these cars do keep the prices higher.

I believe the 29k px value - £3k extra is not be sniffed at..

As for the cab, who knows? Email him...

Well spotted Contigo!
His B5 (but not sold by him) was on sale 18 months ago and around 3 months ago and had a bit of a history and I don't mean FASH!
Doesn't mean this B7 has though, must have been what he replaced it with..

Yep. wondered that too as he mailed me when I was selling my B7. Also it's a good price, If I was looking right now I'd be pretty interested at it, it's only got 10k on the clock. you know I'm so glad I got out of mine when I did as they have taken a hit.

Your B5 will almost be a free car paid for by the depreciation on your B7 that you swerved - and all in just over a year!!!?

There's 2 Avus silvers on Auto trader for under 16k.

And a steel blue for 13995...

All lemons?

I am sure the 'steel blue' one at 13,995 had a much lower mileage (well south of 110k) than that last time I saw the same advert a few days back. Very suspicious.

I would steer well clear of them.

Pay 19,995 for the one that's just come on Pheads with only 48k or so on it. Looks a minter!
EDIT

This one wouild be where my money went.

The "steel blue" one has replica wheels on it with the wrong offset (look at the arches). Also someone here looked at it and the grille wasnt attached correctly among other things.
