I owned one for 3 years and put 60k miles on it in that time, only problem was one wishbone rubber and a MAF, thats it. They were the last of the original Audis, made with real metal.

A superb workhorse, economical too.

i bought it of my g/f's parents as they have just bought a new car...they have only owned the Audi for a few months its been no bother

just had cam-belt,service and front brakes done..MOT till november. £500

seems ok and for £500 it will pay for itself on fuel savings (over the T5) within a few months just using it for work and popping into town.
