I like the mats, I buy 20 in bulk off ebay for £5 a pair 

Yeah, I'm not surprised. Are they the mats specially designed to curl up on the edges and slide under the pedals when you start driving?

For a long time,we used to buy cheap sets of mats from Maccess ( anyone remember them ).They were’t very good but the packaging was,it said ‘Luxury Car Mats’.So we just used to hand the punters a set on collection and they were delighted.We don’t use them know but our regulars ask for them because they think we have forgotten to hand them over !

£2995 is the price here if I was selling it online with that mileage. Can’t beat an avant

I thought that as well, but all the examples within 100 miles are £3500+ on AT. It's the cheapest straight example by far....

Yes, i lived less than a mile from my local branch. I was always in there, really handy. Such a shame! Ordering over the internet might ultimately be cheaper but it is so convenient to be able to buy stuff in person, like car batteries. And you could haggle?

Its sold and gone £2990

That will fly out. The word Quattro on any audi seems to get people wet 

As I said, the word Quattro seems to get people wet, as if the word makes the car a magical carpet ride or something.
