I started a thread on here a little while back about buying myself an A4 cab.....got some useful stuff off it so Im hoping for more of the same
I have been checking 10-20 different used car sites every day since I posted that thread and I am starting to get an idea of what I want.
I test drove a 1.8T A4 cab at Derby Audi last week with the tiptronic gearbox and loved it.....unfortuanetly it was 15k and my budget doesnt quite stretch to there.....unless its got all the extras anyway!
So first question, how can I tell the difference between a multitronic gearbox and a tiptronic gearbox?
Having drove a tiptronic the other day, I figured knowing what that looked like, Id be able to spot a multitronic a mile off.......but if adverts are to be believed on autotrader they look the same....:s
I don't think I want a multitronic gearbox, having read a bit on here and various other sites about the problems with them......and I dont want to buy something thinking it is tiptronic only to find out it isnt!
Xenon headlights.....are these angel eyes? Or something totally different?
Finding the ideal car seems to be unlikely, So I am looking for something with as much of what I want as possible. Hopefully black with black hood....I love the red leather interior but it seems to be pretty rare......the black one looks nice but grey seems to be the most common. Id love my next car to have cruise control, and as I already have electirc, heated seats, Id like to keep them too! And I also want as low a mileage as possible as I plan to run this as my main car for the next 2 or 3 years! Somewhere between 03-06 plate seems to be likely.
I have seen some for sale with Audi satnav + tv and that sounds good to me too.......just finding this car seems unlikely....if anyone is selling something like that between 10and 15k, let me know!!! haha
These are a few of the most recent cars I have found and considered.....

Looked perfect but had sold when I rung it. Anyone know where I can buy those wheels from?

Looks nice but not sure about the colour.

Just found this one.....curious if it is a tip or a multi.

Same as above.....multi or tip?

Whats the engine like that on this one? I havent come across any of these in my price range until now.....
I have rung up about a few cars but they seem to go pretty quickly at the minute......but anyway, in a nutshell-
1) How can I tell the difference between a multi and a tip?
2) Is the multi as bad as it appears to be reading reviews?
3) Xenon = angel eyes? Or not?
4) Anyone recommend a good tinting place in the Midlands?
5) How hard is fitting cruise control as an aftermarket thing if It doesnt come on the car I buy?
6) Any thoughts on any of those cars would be much appreciated......this is a big investment for me and I dont want to regret it a few months down the line!
I know thats a lot of text, but I am thinking as I type! Hope you all can offer an opinion on what I should do next.....I want to pick something up asap!
