    Cruise Control - worth £1000??

    ^^ Thanks elan2s. Do you actually haggle over the cost of change ie balance to finance? Is that what you discuss with the dealer? Sounds strange. I thought you haggle over the p/ex, then haggle the purchase price - indirectly haggling over the cost of change? The difference in purchase price...

    Cruise Control - worth £1000??

    Thanks scoTTy. I've had a rethink now. I thought cruise control would make the car more 'valuable' come the time to get rid! Thanks. I'll haggle with the seller. Wish me luck!

    Thanks elan2s, that figures as it does have 17 wheels.

    Cruise Control - worth £1000??

    Another thing, what's the difference between SE and Executive SE? The more expensive one is an Executive SE. Thanks.

    Cruise Control - worth £1000??

    Thanks a lot, guys. I've done a search on here and realised that cruise control can be retrofitted for £250ish (would it invalidate the warranty if done by a non-Audi dealer)? Didn't realise that I could actually haggle over the list price of a car, thought my bargaining power lay with getting...

    Cruise Control - worth £1000??

    Hi guys, Seen 2 A4s that I like, similar mileage and age (about 1 year old) but different colours. Option 1 - has cruise control, on sale for £20K Option 2 - no cruise control, on sale for £19K Is cruise control worth £1000? Bear in mind I'm aiming to buy a car that will give the strongest...

    I'd like to know if they can be turned off! LOL! I think it's too showy! Too beamer-like!

    Comfortable seats - A4 B7(pre 2008) or B8(current model)

    I just saw the new Technik spec which adds substantially to the SE (Milano leather, AMI, DVD Satnav, Parking system plus). Might just be what I might be looking for! Pity it's 'new'. I wanna buy used!

    Comfortable seats - A4 B7(pre 2008) or B8(current model)

    Thanks Nathan. I've been thinking about that too. I read that article and thought about depreciation. A mate of mine has advised me to buy a top spec car to help with resale values. What's the highest spec you can get in the B7 or B8 A4 without getting the S-line? I assumed the S-line was...

    Will give the SE a try. Audi is sooooooo stingy with specs! The S-line I drove didn't have an armrest for heaven's sake! Worried that I'll be stuck with the Exeo when the time comes for a change, If they ain't selling now, they won't be selling when they're 3-5 yrs old!

    Thanks Nathan, not tried the SE version yet. I only went by looking at the seat and it's underthigh extendable support. You're way taller than I am so maybe I should look again. I do get a sore left thigh and bum and I only noticed it when I started doing longer distances in my VW Golf Mk IV...

    I'll post this in both the B7 and B8 threads if anyone won't mind!

    Hi guys, Just joined the forum and have question already! Not sure if this is the right place to post so I hope it's moved appropriately by the mods. I am keen on an A4 but I'm undecided as to which one to go for. I am 5'11" and find that I get aches under my left thigh in my 1999 VW Golf...
