    At least you wouldn't have to worry about the engine - it's the reliable 6 pot daysul from BMW :)

    Reliable yes, but my god they're horrendously slow! Have you ever driven one?

    No DMF to worry about on this particular one.

    These are surprisingly nippy.

Apologies if this post is all over the place. My enter button has stopped working..!

    I'd say the Audi 1.6 is a sound buy alright. I'm always happy to see a high mileage. Here it is a week ago on carzone for €1k http://www.carzone.ie/search/Audi/A4/1.6E/201202206525857/advert?channel=CARS

    The best you'd get for that price, although I wonder how much fabreeze and hoovering the inside would need. If he had washed it rather than throwing a bucket of diesel and muck on it he could have chanced 300 asking!

    Thats a winner IMO...looks like the expensive money was spent on the car already and you could get plenty of trouble free motoring from that car. Good find.

    A lot of the work that's been documented has been carried out quite a while ago so may not be of as much relevance depending on what mileage has been covered since.

    True for Throttle body and shocks. (2008)
    The rest was a few months ago. (2011)
    Good enough for me.

    Erm, not quite.
    -New clutch kit and flywheel on 19/11/2010 at a cost of 1,740 euros
    -Timing belt and water pump kit and all pulleys fitted on 27/5/10 at a cost of 842 euros
    -New throttle body fitted 2008 at a cost of 658 euros
    -New shocks fitted 2008 at a cost of 448 euros
    Clutch is in it 14 months
    Timing belt was nearly 20 months ago


    Lot of mileage could have been covered in the time since, though it looks that clean that I'm sure the mileage covered since is probably well documented so may not be an issue. On first glance I thought the same as yourself - heap of work carried out recently. It was only on a second glance that I noticed that a lot of it is a good while ago.

    Nice colour, timing belt done, very low miles, tax and test. The only thing going against it is the lack of alloys but surely you could pick up a set of teledials for pennies.

    Bit of a stretch for bangernomics but looks clean. Query the mileage though

    Teledials and tan Momo would be good but the
    4 NEW CONTINENTAL TYRES

    are probably much more valuable for bangernomics, probably half the asking price of the car. Just as long as the timing belt has been done recently, it should have been done every 3 years on a low miles car like that.

    Apologies, I read it as the cluch, belt and co was done last year.
    Spec savers and all that....
