I can’t be the only a one thinking that’s already a bit OTT at £8k…?
It's an auctioneer's dream - two bidders, both wanting it
Looks a bit, well, pink.

Herr Butt's latest video. He needs a better fitting sports jacket.

I really enjoyed that, thanks. Does he have history as a presenter on other YT channels?

TBF BM they did upload 70 (massively overexposed) photos and I suspect most of us had fallen asleep by the time that one crept in.

2004 55AMG

Loafs of money spent on it recently,

Looking for £7250

4owners.

https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202404218...

But

215k miles.
I would love to know whether a 215k mile car with all that work done is better than an 80k mile car with ... maybe ... that work done.

As I get older I'm less afraid of high mileage cars. If the price is right I'll buy it cheap and spend the money on it to bring it up to a good standard.

Nothing out of ordinary. Normal maintenance in my book. It does accumulate over the years.

Blimey, that's done 4800 miles since you posted that.

Ad seems honest... I always have more faith in a seller who points out faults. Sounds like it's had a prang though, and being in the trade (looking at the unit in the picture) he knows it has.

Don't these need four new tyres each timed due to the Audi 4WD system thinking it's a special princess who can throw a bh fit if you try to do one axle at a time? If so then the "two new tyres" might mean you need to budget for "four new tyres" after purchase.

I think I would be a nay. If it's had a smack and not quite been repaired it could end up bothersome.

That’s quite a mean looking stance.

Yes, that’s the conundrum - it’s probably good for quite a lot more, but the market for such a thing must be minuscule in the UK. Well, not at £7250.

His YT channel is fairly recent. He has this website but appears to have retired it: https://auto-didakt.com/home.html

And he sometimes writes for https://driventowrite.com/
