Chuffed! Been looking for an A2 for a while and finally bought one today...and I think I got a good one.
Decided to go for a 1.4 petrol to be our second family car. Bought an 05 (reg 31st March 2005) dark metallic blue (cobalt?) in special edition spec with light grey fabric interior, parking sensors and at 62k miles done. 1 previous lady owner who had cherished and garaged the car...not a single blemish inside or out. It has had an audi service every 12 months (6k miles) without fail and the cambelt changed twice so far. Once at 30k (5 years) and at 60k (10 years) and just before selling the car she put new tyres all round and had the alloys reconditioned. It is like a new car...like it had just come out of the factory as all the tools and owner books seem to have not been touched. The 1.4 petrol is a great package to drive it had more poke than I thought as I was expecting a bigger gap between it and the 1.6s I have driven. The wife has driven it and is keen to be the daily driver and my boys have already nicknamed it 'the Tardis'. Delighted, especially for the £2,500 I paid.
Thank you to everyone on the forum who have been so generous with their buying advice.
