Just wondering about the Quattro system, surely it's just making he car heavier 95% of the time?
Because its family we could be looking at a very nice figure, AutoTrader values it at 2,800 with those miles. What I like is the Irish plates, nobody would know its an '04 lol.
I've asked about MOT and the £195 tax does expire in November which is a bugger. It just looks like a lot of car for the money and much more of a tank / safer to drive my daughter around in!
I actually like the colour, too many cars nowadays are grey or black, silver or white.
There are lots of little dents, mind. I've a feeling the worst one on the rear wheelarches could be pushed out, while a good polish might get rid of some of the other marks. Red is quite an easy colour to touch-up, from my experience anyway...
That tax seems a lot tbh. My PD130 Golf was only £115 a year, obviously the Audi is heavier but I wouldn't think it'd create that many more CO2's!!
At the price you're hinting at, I'd definitely go for it tbh!!
Edit - Just checked Parkers and it seems you're right about the tax, also only 43mpg average according to them so that'd explain the higher emissions and tax I guess.

I actually like the red, it's much better than the usual silver...
Pretty sure that's VW 4motion Curt, part time 4wd. Quattro is permanent 4wd as I understand it.
