Yes, we're very pleased with it and it drives straight and is knock free, which is a lovely experience.

Thanks Steve

I should also point out that I traded a very nice BMW 520d M Sport Touring 18 plate with 60k miles - reason for trade was that I wanted to pay off the loan I had for it and be loan free.

I have had company cars for many years and opted out 3x years ago nearly and took a car allowance - the company state that the car must be 4x doors and some other stats that the Audi meets.

I love cars and sprint/hill climb a classic Scimitar GT Coupe and also have another for weekend use

I wanted a retro ride BUT with enough modernity to cruise up and down the motorway for work and my lids University visits as well as something quick and frugal - it also had to be reliable with quality history and proven mechanics

First car I looked at was an Audi 100 2.3e saloon - very nice great condition for year (1989) - a few things to put right so passed as I haven't got the time at present - £3,995

Next car was a Volvo V70R Estate 2wd and a manual - lovely car again and engine rebuilt professionally - drove beautifully and very fast (340 bhp) - a little too Moddy for my wife - £9,000

Next was a couple of Jag XJ's 3.0d - I love the shape and individuality BUT not the reputation - however some great bargains out there

I looked at an Audi 100 Avant Turbo online at £11,995 - great iconic car BUT undersealed and didn't have the time to visit and inspect properly

I always admired and loved the Audi A8 - the car in the film Ronin - a beautiful  D2 S8 - and having driven 2x Audi's as company cars loved their individual style and design emanating from that ground breaking Audi 100 CD that I travelled in as a kid when my girlfriends Father drove us up the M6 - at that time my Dad had a Volvo 760 GLE which was great BUT the Audi was technologically and design wise light years ahead....in my view:)

Like reading the leaflet in a prescribed set of drugs - reading online the horror stories of large expensive cars as a second-hand option for mere mortals with an exhaustive income is daunting reading BUT like anything doing your homework is essential - I have tried to do this with this car and think I have found a very nice well looked after example - when speaking  with the Independent Garages who serviced the car they remembered the 2nd owner well who owned it for 12x years and confirmed that he only wanted Audi OEM Filters/Oil and barking parts - the check report showed no accidents or insurance claims - the colour was advertised as Phantom Black - its not its standard black and - it has had its rear nearside quarter pained and its not the greatest BUT will redo - lastly the only thing I found after washing the weekend was slight corrosion at the top 2x corners of the windscreen on the roof?? I will again get this done (anyone else seen this?)

I will keep you updated of progress

Heres some pics

 

Bellies its age so well. Private plate and the uninformed wouldn’t have a clue to its age.  
 

that roof rust looks bit scary, what’s the plan there?

Yes - plate to go on

Corrosion can be dealt with fairly simply - just awaiting quote - will keep you posted

Just a couple of my Q7, had this around 4 weeks. Absolutely awesome.

£250 Chips Away will sort the Aluminium corrosion - no issues

I love this car - it drives superbly - I went to Paris and back from West Midlands 2x weeks after I bought it and it was supreme - quiet/hugely quick and refined and returned 45mpg over circa 900 miles

Autoglym Magma treatment on bodywork and wheels. Works a charm to get all the iron deposits off
