The best car I've ever owned has to go due to change of work meaning 20K+ miles a year. I'll try to give a full and frank description including all the things most sellers usually leave out!
LHD, RS Blue, black leather interior/carbon trim 186,001KM (I convert that to 115,575 miles), 17" Porsche Turbo alloys with 4 newish Michelin Pilot Sports, FSH (Audi Germany and UK to 2003, then specialists). New MOT on the 21st December 2006 and taxed until June 2007.
1000 miles ago the car had a full service including plugs, brake fluid change, coolant change. The topmounts were renewed, the bushes front and back were renewed. It had an air con rad/pipes replaced and regas in August 2006. Wheel bearing replaced in April 2006, brake discs and pads front and rear in Jan/Feb 2006. Coolant expansion tank replaced December this year as a precaution-wasn't actually needed in the end but it looks better under the bonnet.
Other little things I've done on it are, new set of RS2 mats, replaced all lighting on the clocks and fixed exterior temperature display lighting.
The interior of the car is very good indeed bar a few light scratches on some of the plastics near the handbrake. Exterior paint is good, bumpers have no cracks in them, neither do any of the light lenses. There are approx 3 light scratches on the drivers side passenger door. These look to have been caused by someone dragging their bag down the side of the car- probably when I was on a ferry. There are a couple of other little chips on the same size- no bigger than a couple of matchheads. The side skirt on the drivers side rear door is slightly misaligned at the edge-about 4mm and probably needs refixing. There is also a one inch scratch on the top of the rear bumper- previous owner did this, presumably when loading. There are also a few other smaller, hairline scratches on the top of the bumper, again the result of loading. Looking at the passenger side it's more or less scratch and blemish free- remarkable for a car of this age. I can provide pictures of these minor blemishes if required.
All the electrics work fine ie windows, mirrors, lights, aircon etc. That said the drivers window sometimes stops 3/4 way back up, I believe this is the infamous relay fault having discounted the switch (I tried a different one-same result) which is just a case of replacing said relay- a cheap job from a scrapper I believe. In the meantime I just wait a few seconds press the button and up it goes. Also the oil temperature auxilliary guage doesn't seem to get much past 70 degrees- I believe this is probably a sensor fault.
Other than that the car is fault free.
I want in the region of £9700 pounds for it, offers most welcome. Contact by private message in the first instance if you're interested.
