B4Audi 80 wanted

B4Dan · 07-07-17, 11:49 AM

Preferably an avant or saloon petrol 2.0 or above, what's around?

Was the A4 a lost cause mate...?

It was a bit far gone, unfortunately didn't realise after alot of work had already been done, it ended up being unreliable to the point where I didn't trust it as a daily anymore

Sorry to hear that, it was always going to be a bit of a project hence the price, hope you got back what you spent on it?

B4Dan · 07-07-17, 12:07 PM

Yeah lost a few quid but not the end of the world, think it was further gone than either of us realised

Mellis46 · 07-07-17, 12:10 PM

What was the final straw with it then? Know it had a few issues but thought it might come back from the brink...

Just tried Postimage, seeing as photobucket doesn't seem to be an option now.
There's some white glare on a couple of the images, which makes the paintwork look like a pigeon's toilet. The car was parked up for two years before I bought it so the finish needs a good Meguiar-ing as you can see. The car's never been smoked in while I've had it but there's a small burn on the back seat from the previous ownership and the usual wear on the driver's seat side padding underneath the cover. Trim is OK. I've never had the sun roof open. Let me know if you want any specific images.

Thanks, it doesn't look like its for me though despite the nice low mileage. Off to see an 80 Tomorrow so i might get lucky

probably to far away for you Dan, but i'd sell my 2.0e 80 avant. i've got a members thread on here, but the pics won't show due to photobucket no longer playing ball!
