Default Please persuade me not to buy this..

I've been after one with this exact spec for years..

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3213604562...84.m1423.l2648

The right colour.
The right engine.
The right transmission. (usually autos)

The wrong price.

But its sits in my ebay watch list taunting me..

Whats worse is that they would take my souless 165000 mile B7 TDI avant off my hands + cash

I need someone to give me a damn good reason to delete it from my watch list and forget about it....

Two reasons:
way too expensive
wrong engine

And to me the wrong colour.

The reason its on my watch list is in a vain hope that they realise they can't sell it and decide to get it off the forecourt cheap...

Sound reasoning ,!!, but it seems that traders/sellers atm
are dillusional about what they think an older audi is worth,
It will likely be relisted a few times maybe

Its been relisted twice already... trouble is its probably up for double what I'd pay... so the chances of it dropping to my price range is minimal..
