May be getting out of the company car scheme in the next month or so.

Looking at this tomorrow:

what are peoples thoughts re price and spec.

Went and looked around it today. Spotless with 4 good matching tyres. Will need a service though.

Looks tidy enough but a little overpriced with that mileage... 3.0Tdi is the one to have though so swings and roundabouts I suppose. Needs some decent wheels on it as those ones dont really do it any favours, infact I'd check the log book that it actually is an SE as i thought they had different wheels to that. may be a bargaining point...

I've found myself being strangely drawn to an A8 or even a Phaeton, when considering 3.0d versions of the A6, and 5 series, which in turn had me wondering about the facially impaired 7 series. Doing a lot of miles on the motorway, carrying a team of people, increasingly traffic bound, I figure you might as well sit in the lap of comfort and go the whole hog. There's a similar A8 going for sale near me on Middlesbrough.

Right about those alloys. Need changing.

put a deposit down. Got a new MOT, service and a years warranty as part of the deal.

Drove lovely. Couldn't find a mark on it inside or out.

Got the right sort of options imo.

Keyless entry
Xenons
Sat Nav
Bluetooth phone, which works, tried it on the test drive
optical parking assist
full leather

I may have been a bit keen though, the company car doesn't go back until nov biggrin
