Hello - new owner!

[LondonChris]

Hi,

Long time reader of Pistonheads. Just put down a deposit on this and will collect later in the week after I have (hopefully) sold my old BMW.

Only one former keeper, full Audi service history - needless to say very excited! Test drive went well - it was smooth and powerful and very refined. My first experience of an Audi and I can see the hype around their interiors. This one is full leather, almost completely unmarked and very nice indeed....

Figured it was about time I registered and posted especially as I actually intend to keep this car longer than any of my old ones!

Cheers,
Chris

Rare car in that spec - bet it goes pretty well I've tried an auto version of the same car and was surprised how much nippier it felt than our A6 with the same engine.

I presume you're aware cambelt changes are fairly ruinous on these and it's had one not too long ago? They're due every 5-6 years irrespective of mileage

Good cars those; generally solid too.

Looks nice, not much out there that can top that for the same money.

Picked up this morning and drove 20 minutes to some parking near work.. Will give her a good run out later when I finish...

Easily the nicest cabin I have been in, very quiet and still looks/smells/feels as good as brand new. The V6 is nicely responsive and has a decent noise. All in all looking forward to having a keeper!

First task might be a debadge I think...


Previous cars include a rusty Rover 75, a rusty XJ6, a rusty CLK200 and a scratched up E36 convertible. Needless to say this is the first one that feels like a 'proper' car!

Think the car must not be on the link anymore - I can only see Corsas.

What is it?

[LondonChris]

Ah sorry - they must've taken it down.

It is a 2003 Audi A4 3.0 V6 Quattro Sport, with manual 6-speed box. Navy, black leather. £2250.
140k miles, 1 owner, full Audi service book.

Will get some pics up later when outta work...

Nice.

I see one of these in the station car park (also a 53 plate I think) and it still looks good.

Just some quick pics from the carpark. Can't get over the exceptional condition. Great to drive, although looking forward to getting out of the city and up to a bit of speed at the weekend!
