    you can always tell how well a car is looked after, by looking at the brand of tyres - this car was run as cheap as possible.

      What Iv don't get about England's MOT inspection is that examiners let cars pass in spite of the vehicle having different brand and different tread tyres on each wheel. Here in Australia, our safety inspectors will fail a car that has different treaded tyres.

It has a few grazes on the alloys being driven by an 86 year old but otherwise is immaculate. It would make a great car for somebody when we sell it.

      Most of the time, the dealership buys them (at discount from the manufacturer), and a sales rep uses it as a company car for 4 or 5 months and gets 5000 miles on the clock.
      The car then gets added to the forecourt as used approved - with Audi warranty - and some muppet buys it via PCP. It's genius really. And the icing on the cake is a couple of years later they end up getting the car back, and re PCP'ing it. I've run the numbers on spreadsheets and trust me, anybody that buys a car via PCP is ultimately going to pay 30% more for the car if they bother with the balloon payment - more if they don't because usually they just hand the car back and then get another PCP on a more expensive car. It is the worst way to 'buy' a car......it is basically renting, and dealerships LOVE it.

    nice 1st car for someone there, good spec and quality build feel, the £500 budget was way off though matt, mot.service,alloy refurb, paint door, light unit, dents, valet, plates, surely you can work out the estimated costs for better by now 🤔

    Amazing that there is no roadtax for this TDI, here in the Netherlands they punish you😮 Amazing too why they mounted C class tires...This A1 would be spot on with A class tires.. Let's aim for a supadupa massive underspent last purchase to salute 2024🎉

    Hi Matt, I think you should consider opening a dealership in the South. North of London. Maybe Bedfordshire as more affordable rent in that area x

    Never understood your obsession to replace number plates. I’ve got a mate who like you is a fellow trader would never replace them if they tallied with the original vendor. His thinking is it proves it’s not been involved in an accident. Adds to the provinence of the vehicle.

    You usually make a lot more profit on much older and cheaper cars. Like when you pay 500 and spend 500 on it and somehow sell it for 3000 at a 200% profit margin. I guess there is more margin selling cheaper cars.

    Not bad looking car inside and out, I certainly can see why women go from a fiat 500 and then upgrade to this ( not being sexist but know a few that have done just that ) the interior seems a step up from other manufactures of a small size car and pretty good mpg. Another thing the price is pretty good for a 10 year old car esp when you look at the price I have been offered for my evoque in great condition full service history and on a 68 plate prices are about £6500 seems insane how much I lost on this car not worth me buying another car for awhile
