Welcome Lisa and thanks for joining. First things first - can we pass on our condolences for your Dad’s passing. Not an easy time - they only give us one, so always bad news. A couple or so pointers to hopefully help with your query:- Main dealers will not be interested in the car (as good as it may be), since in general, they do not retail vehicles over 5 years old. If they are going to buy it off you, it will be at a price low enough to resell it into their trade contacts at a profit, so really no point in perusing that route. Ways forward:- Enter the details into Parker’s Guide, and you will come up with a ball park valuation for an average mileage car sold privately. If you want a ‘mileage adjusted’ quote, then I believe you have to pay. Worth doing that?? Search EBay and Autotrader for similar year examples, building up a picture of a number of valuations, some of which might be for lower mileage examples. It is worth noting that (unless you are very lucky) you are unlikely to sell the car at prices that dealers are asking, since yours will not be sold with any warranty. Apologies for being pessimistic, but you are trying to sell very much at the low demand end of the year., and the car will effectively be a year older by the end of the month. Another disposal route could be via. the Motorway advertising route, or similar. I don’t have any experience of this, but you could investigate. On a brighter note, such low mileage cars normally find homes among family and friends, and as such tend not to spread out to the wider market. Anyway Lisa, please come back to us if you think we can help further, or if you wish to advertise it on here. Many thanks and kind regards, Gareth.

Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 Check out YouTube videos for buyers guides etc. Please keep us posted on how you get on

Fingers crossed that the rusty brackets don't break off.

No great loss then.

Search the recent history of this forum and you will find several reports of the heater matrix becoming blocked. As far as I recall they involved disintegrating bags of silica gel. Stevey Y knows more of this than I do.

Hi all, A little update. Went to Audi yesterday, argued my case and managed to get a refund for incorrect diagnosis and also got the car booked in with another dealer to look into the thermostat as it is still under warranty (turns out the one I went to is closing down after today). Thanks for your help and input!

Hello again Lisa Our posts overlap. As stated, please list it on here. Private sales and comebacks? We can advise you on suitable wording to minimise that risk. Test drives? Is the car currently taxed and MOTd and insured for you to drive. Policies can lapse when the policy holder dies, so you would need to check on that. Wise to take a male neighbour or friend with you. Getting a good price? Perhaps being pessimistic, but obtaining a ‘good price’ will limit the number of interested buyers. In my opinion, you would be better off biasing this to a quick and uncomplicated sale. I think we should be able to advise you at any stage Lisa. Your Dad’s neighbour is right in some respects re club, but worth bearing in mind that members on here already own Audis, whereas you need to sell to someone who hasn’t got one. Take care Lisa. Kind regards, Gareth.

Thanks Lisa, You are very welcome to advertise it on here - just take some photos and you can then list it. No charge and really nothing to lose. Kind regards, Gareth.
