    FS: ABY S2 avant 89000 miles Scotland

    No relation or anything. Bought my A6 off him. Seems a decent enough bloke for a used car salesman. Just asked him what he'd sell it for and he says he needs 4k for it. Seems good spec and good nick for the money.

      aye he knows his cars alright. he got me a set of new tyres for my a6 and when I was up at the house he had an evo sitting, a lexus is200 and 3 porsches. one was a red 911 from about '83 or something. my schoolboy dream.

        It's this one isn't it:-

        Low Mileage S2 Avant

        The owner (I think) tried to sell it on Ebay last week but it ended at £1900 reserve not met I believe.

        I wonder if Buchanan Motors have done the strut top mounts and paintwork??

          It isn't mint, but looks solid enough. Probably more like £3k in today's climate. (read petrol price joke)

            Looks like a nice clean car but the advert is a little incorrect in that it certainly has not got a recent set of matching tyres as there seem to be at least 2 different tread patterns?

              Yes, but they're all the same size !!

                  This is the previous Ebay auction:-

                  Audi S2 Avant
                  There is a better description of the problems, most of which seem to be omitted in the new auction

                    Fire over an email to him asking if they have been solved/sorted since the last time it was listed

                        I wonder how he came to get it then? would the previous owner have traded it in against a new car and Buchanan motors got it for a decent price from the dealer? hmm
                        anyway.. I won't be buying it. I'm going to figure out how to get more oopmh out of my 1.8TQ since I've finally got a car under 10 years old

                          This is what I asked:-
                          Hi,

                          Can you tell me whether any of the problems outlined by the previous owner
                          have been addressed (See
                          http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...MEWA:IT&ih=005 )

                          What sort of price are you looking for as neither this ad nor your website
                          have any information?

                          cheers

                          Andy

                          Here's the response I got from the seller:

                          Hello, yes all of them, have a look at a more comprehensive advert

                          regards

                          Ebay Auction

                          e : stephen@buchananmotors.co.uk
                          m: 07977015509
                          w: 01360 315746
                          Looks like this could turn out to be as good as it appears in the auction if the seller's being honest.

                              i'd give him the benefit of the doubt. At the end of the day if you turn up to buy it and check those issues specifically and they haven't been fixed you can walk away. I don't see that he'd lie if it's likely to end up in wasted time all round.
