Hi all,

It's time to say goodbye.
Moving over to an S3 saloon so I'm not going far.

I still have my A4 but after putting it up for sale every now and then to test the water the time has come to part ways. Been a brilliant car and can't fault it for what it is. I'm either going to have to part exchange it (really don't want to do that) or sell it for a lot less than I was hoping (overpriced it when I first listed)

So if anyone on here is interested in my car then drop me a message and I will try sell it for a decent price. It's an Audi A4 2.0tdi manual in brilliant black. Remapped to around 200bhp with dpf and egr delete. Dechromed, rs4 grill, black badges, black 19" Lamborghini wheels (reps) lowered on Eibach springs. Cam belt and water pump replaced at 60k car is now on 85k miles. If you know anyone who might be interested as well please point them my way.

Cons: rear wheels need a refurb, front passenger door doesn't unlock with key fob but locks and can unlock from inside. Few stone chips as well.

Located in North Somerset but collecting my car from Stratford-upon-Avon so can collect from there?

Photos below of new and old car:

Cheers :salute:

Thank you! :) I believe from what I've asked others on the 8v forum that it is "Mystic Blue" which is very similar to Navarra. It's an exclusive paint.

Lovely looking car James. You will enjoy it. Hope you manage to sell the A4 for good price. :)
 
Nice!! When are you looking to get it? Almost got the facelift but couldn't justify the cost.

Mine will be April next year as thats when I will have cleared an old Uni debt thats been hanging over me for 4 years eeep
soon as i sell the B8 next year, the money from it i can then use it to get a new PETROL toy :)
Is funny as I considered facelift too then thought, nah, i want a nippier car which i can get for not much more

Have you test drove it yet?? i worry that interior isnt maybe as nice as the b8 and b8.5 but only have picture to go on, how does it stand up?

Thanks @Sandra Im sure I will :)
Yeah I hope so too! Would be a shame to see it go with a P/X.
Just need to ask one of you mod's nicely for a mystic blue badge now when I've collected it ;)

Oh fair enough. Look forward to it :)
Yeah defo not worth the extra cost IMO.

No I haven't which might sound crazy but I've done my research and actually test drove the CLA45 but couldn't get along with the interior. I was just waiting to the right spec S3.
Yeah that was my worry too but I actually quite like the simplified S3 interior. Especially the retractable screen. Still super high quality. I've got supersport seats as well so that is a massive improvement
 
James when you collecting the car?

They seem to be very good so far. Most helpful dealers I've dealt with by far.
Thank you!
Haha fair enough. I'm sure I'll be too busy playing with my new toy rather than walking around to be honest
 
:hubbahubba: I want it!! Congrats on the new motor mate! I'll keep an eye out because iirc you're not that far from me.
 
Stunning simply stunning. You must be buzzing.
