I totally agree - all seem to know exactly what they want - all want a cheap bullet proof car with decent history and all with the same questions. has it been serviced regularly - when was the cambelt done - can I take it away today - yes to all of the above sir - now does your credit card start with a 4 or a 5.... and the rest of the card details now please mr customer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grantlfc81 88 Posted March 24, 2018 I have very few issues with them. Just remember to change the gasket in the Ecu - rain water loves getting in there! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ocsltd 133 Posted March 24, 2018 I don't know how any of you buy them at the right money?! Every time I see one with sensible mileage and good history go through the block, always makes crazy money!! Always leaves me wondering how anyone makes any margin in them!!! I can never get near an A4 Avant.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grantlfc81 88 Posted March 25, 2018 (edited) I’ve just bought an A4 avant off eBay for £3500 2007 sline with 103k mikes excellent history minter. Will get it all checked over and stick up for £4995 all day long in essex. i have to travel a bit to get the right cars sometimes but well worth it. Easy money.

The scuttle drains would block and the water would run into cabin and into the carpet and then it got exciting.....seem to remember having a drama many years ago along these lines, or did I dream that? Jesus H Christ I can't remember what I was doing last Monday Did these have the... Saab must of copied the idea for 9-3 amplifiers under the passenger seat. Ideal when the Vectra, sorry I mean 9-3, scuttle drain bungs up and floods the carpet along with shorting out the fan and then said amplifier. Who the f*** comes up with these ideas? I know! Probably the same numpty who also put Saab fuel filters near the cill in the path of road spray & debris thrown up from the o/s/f tyre. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
