First one looks quite nice, sorted, refurbed wheels, replaced gearbox, factory tow bar, Xenon plus headlights & elec blinds, and a Quattro sport so it should have the lower suspension. New MOT and 6 months tax and nice colour. If it all checks out then maybe offer £500 less due to mileage and needing 2 tyres.
Second one is a Quattro with lower mileage but if the gearbox is not sorted then you need to allow for any issues. It has no RNS-D sat nav/tv whereas it looks like the first one has and is a non sport model so suspension will be higher. looks tidy but the wheels are an after fit whereas the first car could be original to the car. The vavona interior trim is a tad brighter that most other colours and a bit of an acquired taste. Heated rear seats on this one but not on the first. Overall I'd say the first looks like it is more "sorted" and is a slightly nicer car but each to their own - good luck with the hunt!

First one looks lovely (not a Final Edition though!) with the best wheels and good history with gearbox replaced but about £1000 too expensive IMO due to mileage and no sat nav - can't see inside but no GPS aerial on boot lid. EDIT: the wheels almost certainly not original spec, so would be asking what happened to the 18" Sport wheels, but if they are genuine Audi FE wheels, then they are worth at least £800, if not more, on their own. Not sure how easy it is to retrofit RNS-D or E without the aerial and gubbins in place, anyone?
2nd looks dull, IMO crap colour & wheels, basic spec, about 700 - 800 too much IMO I would only be looking at 1st personally and not pay more than 2900 tops

I did say 'in my opinion', was bound to annoy somebody, but let's be fair, yours looks a million miles better than that one

Interesting thoughts. Thank you.
Are there any chassis number checks or such that can be done to confirm whether this is a genuine FE or a more of home brew lookalike? Sorry for all the questions. I was so badly stung buying my Legacy TT that I now ask a million questions and no longer follow my heart...

 To me, it looks like a genuine late model 2002 with factory 20's and xenon pluss, and even if they're a good retrofit, it makes no real difference to the value tbh.
