I think I'm going to view an 04 tddi focus one of the days. If someone has something bad to say about them, then I don't want to hear it :pac:

Yeah, yeah, I know, I know, I was just looking at some Stance/Raceism pictures and some of them are class, I always wanted one before E39's caught my eye too! There's something about Audi Avants that I just love!

The general consensus seems to be that the Audis aren't a patch on an E39 to actually drive.

Is the C5 the 01/02 era A6 or the post 05 model????

I'd like an A4/6 1.8T S-Line Avant Quattro myself but they're even more goldustier than a good E39 M-Sport and fetch big money when they do come up.

Hopefully have a new car in a few hours

I was considering one a while back, the Allroad or an avant model but they were almost always the 2.5TDI if they were quattro.

I think if I were ever to drive an Audi I would want one with the 4.2 V8 TDI, just for the lols.

Quick question. The NCT on this yolk was last due in 01 NOV 2013. If I wait and do the NCT 3 months early in august, will I still only get a cert for 3 months?

After August 1st you will get a 15months NCT
Before that you'll only get till November

Sound, it will probably take until around then to get a booking anyway.

That's pretty much what I'd be going for too, the 1.8T Quattro versions. But like you say, even rarer than M-Sport E39's. I think I might even still end up buying that M-Sport for sale down here that I tested a while back. Still for sale in the same place.

Interslice · 03-07-2014 01:47PM

Anyone see a freelander burning a serious drop of oil on the m50 lately. I've seen it twice in the last few weeks. Don't know how/why it hasn't been taken off the woman. You really couldn't miss it or the stinkin' massive cloud of blue smoke behind it!

toastedpickles · 03-07-2014 02:06PM

Having just had a bumper fall on me, i can safely say, I'm glad they don't make them like they used to nowadays

the thing weighed a ton, but eh yeah! bumpers off :pac:

Alanstrainor · 03-07-2014 03:15PM

3 months tax paid for....pretty sickening. Usually go for 6 months, but decided there was no point.

Unless you want the learning curve that project will cost you cq. €3k to put right, proper right that is. I'd stay away.

You have the Yaris, keep it for the rest of the summer and keep saving. The right one will come up.

Oh I'm not talking about the SE in my park, still toiling away at that. I'm talking about this one: http://www.carsireland.ie/detail.php?ad_id=1062173&r=s.php%3Fm%3D10%26o%3D87%26r%3D2003%26g%3D0

There have been a few more M-Sports pop up down here and one that was silly money, about 5K is now down to 3.5K

I've tried to explain this to him, waste of typing.
He just can't see past having a 5er right now.

I'll give him a 10er if it helps?? :pac:

Foxhole Norman · 03-07-2014 04:07PM

I don't plan on buying one anyway until at least September/November as that's when I can more than likely get insured. Can't until then.

That's a clean looking motor man, if a little hefty asking. Then again maybe they are appreciating!

It is hefty asking but I tested it 2 months ago or so and loved it, was the same price back then too so I'd say 2500 or 2750 would be manageable.

If it's in good mechanical order and as clean as it looks it's well worth that money (2.5k) IMO.

Alanstrainor · 03-07-2014 04:15PM

Do you really want an auto? Although searching for a well sorted, manual msport e39 would take even longer....

Chris_Heilong · 03-07-2014 04:18PM

After all the messing about I am getting the insurance to send me the money, I will fix the car with after market parts myself. What a relief to not have to rely on someone else.
