8 months test,a whisker of tax and a big bastid dent in the wing. Asking €450.

How could you be without a car for that money.

I thought Seat and Skoda didn’t get the VAG 1.2 (3 pot) until the following year but anyway,
They usually lose compression on one cylinder around 100k so it might be a 2 pot motor!
Cheap transport though.

There’s just something pleasant about an old 8 valve A3 in a 3 door

https://www.donedeal.ie/cars-for-sale/2006-audi-a3-1-6-petrol-low-kms-new-nct-spotless/27092714

Not sure I’d pay that much, but it looks decent.

Had one 8 years, sold it for 700 euro last June. Had bought it for 6100. The 8 valve engine is great, trouble free and smooth. Mine was fine til the exhaust rotted and never sounded right after being replaced.
I recently checked the nct due date and the fecker who bought it still hasn't had it done, well overdue now, brings a tear to my eye.
They still look well today and if you get climate control they are a nice place to spend time in for a car of that age.

Way too much money, but this is lovely.

NCT til August and tax til July, long term owner, nice looking example. Theres something very charming about these

The first paragraph of that ad is strange!

gussieg · 25-02-2021 09:29PM

i think the price reflects the fact that you get 6 months tax included.

ba_barabus · 25-02-2021 09:44PM

I think the price of the Audi is fine tbh

In fact if it was an Avant I'd be wanting it

I suppose the tax does soften the blow, and it looks a nicer example than most - but I don’t suppose there’d be too much interest in a 97 1.8 petrol A4 in the first place

BonnieSituation · 25-02-2021 10:40PM

That A4 is a lovely old yoke all the same.
Think I'd get the one a few pages back for a grand though at the minute.

I like his optimism about it appreciating in value, Good luck with that. Agree it's over priced and reads like a Nigerian Prince has hit hard times with the lotto money.

But of course

MEGA BRO WOLF 5000 · 25-02-2021 10:50PM

Sadly I sold my 330d wagon this evening and so the hunt begins for another but in the meantime I'm looking for a "banger" that I can sit in for a few months, ideally I'd want something I can sell for the same or a small bit less than I pay for it. There are no real criteria beyond that but the cheaper the better, petrol or diesel, manual or auto, big or small. I don't care as long as it's something I can easily shift in a few months.

Oh and with the pesky restrictions it has to be Limerick/Clare/Tipp.

Had a scan of DD and nothing immediately jumped out at me, was see sawing about posting here or on the ecomaniacs thread.

I know, each to their own and some lads try to buy a bargain to sell on but that's really disappointing that it didnt go to a genuine buyer. Something I'd never personally do and find distasteful.

Do you mean you wouldn’t sell your car to a trader or you wouldn’t re sell a car for profit?

Wouldnt buy one unless I planned on using it. Just a personal thing, I know that guy is just trying to make a few bob and more power to him. I'd rather see it go to someone genuine is all.

colm_mcm · 25-02-2021 11:28PM

The person that buys it off him might be a legend.

It's an 18 year old poor man's Merc, not a limited edition Ferrari.

Hoping to shift this, this week all reasonable offers considered.

colm_mcm · 26-02-2021 09:37PM

Might be worth dropping the asking price a bit if you’re willing to take less.

Not to often you see a 1.4 petrol with that mileage

Had sale agreed for 2k last week but sale fell through as he broke his leg in work.

Would let go for bit less but want to leave wiggle room to negotiate

Genuine mileage and great car never gave me any issues. Just with the wife and myself both working from home no longer need two cars in the house.

2ndcoming · 26-02-2021 09:47PM

I wouldn't be paying nearly 3 grand for it. Heavy on juice, heavy on tax, okay to drive but plenty of better, cheaper options out there to buy and to run so hardly bangernomics. Waste of moneynomics.

Edit: the 2003 A4 that is.

Might be no harm to tidy up the ad, there’s a lot of irrelevant features listed.

Features:
- Height adjustable drivers seat

- Body Coloured Bumpers
- Adjustable steering column/wheel
- Alloy Wheels
- Remote Central Locking

You also left out rear spoiler, air conditioning and front fog lights. Aircon is a very important extra.

Reminds me of a car I had that never had the aircon serviced and I turned it on one hot day with windows up and nearly gassed myself. Couldn't breathe it was toxic.

Just leave it running for a few minutes, if there was a leak the gas would be long gone. I've been driving aircon equipped cars since 2008 and never had the aircon serviced.

Did you have any passengers at the time?
