There is usually a fair few on Autotrader. I have a 98 A6 2.8q Saloon myself, which I have had for about 5 years, now. 192k on the clock and still goes very well. Compare the spec of the cars for sale as they vary from poverty spec (cloth trim etc) to fully specced up with heated leather memory seats, Bose CD, Sunroof, Cruise etc. Don't discount the A8 Sport though, again a cracking car and they handle great for their size.

finally bit the bullet and got this,
your thoughts would be very appreciated ,1999 2.8q,tip, 160k FSH,cambelt done at 124k,
7 seater.
will now start to give it good clean and polish etc.
i know i will have to keep on top of the cream leather, does anyone know of some decent cleaner/ coloniser (is that the right word)

cheers,chris

Looking good Chris!, very nice spec too.

For the seats try Gliptone leather cleaner, followed by their leather conditioner. It's good stuff and relatively cheap. Or Leatherique if you can find it.

Thanks,peter,i've been cleaning the seats, which look alot better than when i got it,
now working on the paintwork.... , how easy is it to use a clay bar(coxy), never used one before,do they get rid of the hairline scratches you can see in the sunlight???

Clay bar is easy to use, make sure you use a lot of lubrication. The clay bar will take surface impurities out of the paint, like tree samp and contaminants. It won't get rid of hairline scratches, you will need to have the car mopped with a suitable polish / cutting compound to remove the swirls and scratches. The apply a suitable wax to protect your new paintwork!

Nice car by the way!
