Not sure whether to take this comment seriously or not?? If you are serious, then the simple answer is money. I can only earn about 35% as much as I am doing, while working in the UK, but like you said... that's another discussion!!

I'm not in the market at the moment, but could be around April - May time as might to offload my current car around then, so please keep this thread updated with your plans.

Whereabouts are you based?

Hah! not far from me (South Manchester…). Maybe we should meet up and compare specs - mine's a pukka FE - i.e. no toys!

I'm going to the AudiSRS monthly meet on the 16th March - could you get yourself along there? It's either at the Wiggin Tree (Miller & Carter - Parbold - 10 mins from J27 M6) or the Charnley Arms Wigan (1 min from the M6 J27).

ah, well that certainly makes it more possible..... Would need more interior photos to confirm.

2002 all cars had xenon plus, Sport mode gearbox, and quite a few had the contrasting steering wheel too.

I think if it were a true Final edition it would be worth just a little bit more, but as others have said its a cracking example no matter how you look at it

Well, for Russians money is not a problem. A typical Russian won't understand as to why **because of money** you can be forced out the homeland country. And sell the immaculate D2 (!) as a side effect of this. Because of money? WTF ???

Crumbs, I've not squinted at photos this hard in a long time. I've decided I don't think its an FE:

* Seems to have blinds
* Seems to have autodim mirrors
* Leather looks too dark to be silver
* No sign of extended leather
* Gearshift not in seat leather colour
* Still unconvinced they arrived in time for the 02 plate

But don't confuse my bit of columbo squinting fun as a dig, it isn't.

Nice car...
