1999 (T) Audi A6 Avant 1.8T SE Manual

Here we have my dark metallic blue Audi A6 estate with 12 months MOT, (currently SORN) which has covered 130,000 miles.  I have owned the car for the last 3 years before which my brother owned the car for 2 years.  In that time the car has never let me down and I have completed all maintenance regardless of cost.  Overall the car is in decent condition for its age with some minor scratches and scuffs.  The bodywork is very straight and the car has clearly never been hit.  I have given the car a full wax and polish and it is now gleaming and looks fantastic!  The interior is in good condition overall with a few small stains or marks.  I have a thick pile of receipts and old MOT’s and a part service history, but all major jobs have been done, so nothing to worry about for a while!  The Car has been unused for the last year as I have a company car, but now I am certain of my position in my job it is time to let her go!

For the recent MOT the car had the following work:

·         New ABS Brake module

·         New lower suspension arms/bushes

·         New CV joint

·         New driver side drive shaft

·         4 new tyres

·         Refurbished Driver information display (a common fault and now working perfectly!)

·         Interim service

·         Brand new Exide battery

Other major work completed during my ownership:

·         Full cam-belt service (@ 120k miles, so 50-60k miles until the next one!)

·         New front discs and pads

·         New central exhaust section

·         Front suspension bushings

·         + much more (receipts provided)

The car has the following features:

·         Electric windows F+R

·         Audi Concert sound with 6 CD multi-changer and factory fitted sub-woofer

·         Dual-zone electronic climate control (blows nice and cold)

·         Driver information display (recently refurbished with no missing lines or pixels!)

·         Electric heated mirrors

·         Built in retractable dog guard and luggage cover

·         Electric adjustable front seats

·         Centre and rear arm rests

·         60:40 split rear folding seats (huge boot!)

·         ABS

·         Adjustable steering wheel/column

·         Fog lights

·         Alloy wheels

·         Remote central locking

·         Driver and passenger airbags

·         Power steering

Bad Bits:

·         Front windows stick then retract when dirty, (retraction is a safety feature to prevent trapped hands).  I believe this is because the window seals are a bit perished and ry as when the car is clean and waxed it is not such an issue

·         Tape stuck in tape deck which could be freed but I have never needed to – but hey who uses tapes anymore?!

·         Electric wing mirror adjustment doesn’t work (can be done manually)

·         Luggage cover tatty on one side but still works

·         Only 1 key

In summary this car represents excellent value luxury motoring with all major work completed and ready for hassle free winter motoring!

Here is the boring bit: I work during the week and therefore any viewings will have to be by arrangement in the evenings or the weekend.  The car is at my Mother’s house in Somerset (near Wells).  As the car is currently SORN it can be test driven around the paddock, but if you wish to take it on the road you do so at your own risk and in the knowledge that the responsibility is yours!  I have tried to be as honest as possible in the description and you are bidding to buy, not to view.  If you want to view before bidding get in touch and we can arrange it.  No tyre kickers or time wasters and no, I won’t take silly low offers – I work in the car industry and know that these cars regularly fetch over £1k so this is a bargain at the buy it now price.
