And the winner of dreamer of the year is...

Good luck selling a convertible TT, in wet & miserable Ireland, in the middle of winter, for that price!

Funny enough right now is a perfect time to buy convertible. Prices are always lower in winter times and you can properly check leaking roofs in **** weather.

if that's their winter price I'd hate to see their summer price :pac:

This is what I was alluding to.

Great time for buying, terrible time for selling

Possibly had a front end tip and repaired too as it has pre facelift grills on, no idea why anyone would go back to those on a facelift car other than to save costs.

Is it? Is it the kidney grille you think looks off? Looks identical to my car, also a 2004, silver, sport, mine is a 525i auto

Agree with the dreamer assessment though, I don't think I would get 2k for mine which is why I'm just going to keep it, pretty sale proof these cars. Just as well I am pretty fond of it

Yep, you can see the slight difference here:

Very, very well spotted its hard to tell the difference

Haha I have a small liking for them I have both a Pre-Facelift Touring and Facelifted Saloon so the difference was immediate to me

Maybe I'm just not getting it ...
It's nearly 15 years old...
8k swap price ..

Cars like that don't exactly follow normal prices.

Its a genuine S6. Its also the only one currently for sale in the country so impossible to compare it with much. Closest really is the former-boardsie Audi S4 thats still for sale. 2 years younger but also priced at €8500 - https://www.donedeal.ie/cars-for-sale/audi-s4-v8-quattro-avant/13790228

Don't think I'd consider either to be dreamers. Serious cars for very little money (relatively speaking).

My cousin bought one for that money 10 years ago.

So your cousin bought a genuine 2002 Audi s6 in 2006 for how much ....? He hardly bought one back then for 7 or 8 k

Ok, I've just done the maths on the years again and I reckon it must've been 2008 or 2009 when he bought it. Car is 00 though and not 02. Still has it.

Ok, makes more sense, he bought in the depths of the recession

Don't compare to that car as it's pretty much fecked engine wise. Will run smooth as a clock but burn a litre of oil a week.

I sold it for less than 6k, current guy is a dreamer.

But yes they are very fast, probably the fastest car i have owned.
