definitely a marmite colour scheme, looks in good condition though, I'm not sure if I like it or not, might look better in the flesh as they say. it only 30 mins away from me too

Struggling to see the "OVER £30,000 WORTH OF AUDI OPTIONAL EXTRAS" from flicking through the pictures. No ACC, no B&O, no sunroof, no ventilated or massage seats, no extended leather, no rear blinds, in fact I'm struggling to spot any options at all! It's got Bose, if indeed that was an option in 2009/10.

Leather colour isn't to my taste but the car looks clean enough anyway. Mileage a tad on the high side, a steady 10,000-ish miles per year according to the MOT history.

Would probably be more attractive if it were £500-1,000 lower.

(Correction edit) - it hasn't even got Bose, it truly is poverty spec.

In addition, also no cool box or lumbar support for rear seats. Looks like they took the seats, seat belts and carpets from a S8.

Be interesting to see the build sticker and see what else it doesn't have.

I agree with the posts above. I'd love to pull up in my car and ask him to compare options

On a serious note, can't see many options at all, definitely no desirable ones. The advert states ACC which it clearly doesn't have. The 3G MMI toggle button is broken and the Engine Start button looks like it's been coloured in with a felt tip pen. The reg must be a private plate as a 2009 car (or 3GMMI) wouldn't be on a 08 plate as far as I know

He should have had mine for half that. 30K? on what? Not even bose. Also I was looking at stuff from that seller before, they have poor reviews.
