Metallic grey, 18" RS4 alloys, 125bhp with 79k on the clock. All essential maintenance work carried out:

- cambelt & water pump replaced in August 2007
- new front break discs/pads in November 2007
- full service & new front tyres in January 2008

Runs very well and build like a brick shithouse, interior clean & well maintained

HOWEVER

Came off the road on icy christmas eve and did the following damage:

- Dent in front bumper
- Dent in front driver side wing
- Split in driver side wing mirror case (mirror has been replaced)
- Some of the side strips have been damaged and there are scratches along the whole side that was involved in the accident

Although the damage was verified as purely cosmetic, I had a rear spring replaced and steering rack reset at the time to avoid any future problems.

Taxed till July, MOT'd until August.

PRICE - bearing in mind that the car needs a few hundred quid's worth of panel beating BUT considering the amount money that has been spent to ensure that the guts of it were working perfectly & the tax/mot/servicing has been taken care of for the next while, I'm looking for £1500.

Will post pics if there is any interest...

Could you post some post-damage pics? I like the car and I like the price but I hate bastard garages....

What are you driving now?

Aye I will take some at lunchtime - don't want to deceive anybody about the condition so am definately willing to negotiate a price. I'm still driving the Audi but hoping hoping to sell so that I can buy a Toyota MR2 in time for summer (there's one at the garage that has rather taken my fancy!), the trouble is that most garages dont want the hassle of getting the panels beaten etc so I have been given a rubbish trade-in price. In the meantime I'm going to take it round a few other garages to see if they'd be interested in giving me a better price, so will update this thread if circumstances change.

Dent Devils (or similar) not able to do anything to those panels or is the damage too much? Might be a cheaper option than the panel beater.

I didn't think of them before, but I'm now in a position where I'd like to try and sell the car ASAP so I'm hoping someone with a wee bit of time/money will be able to restore it to its former glory (and value)

Ehhh...no, a body shop would estimate for a replacement wing, door skin and all the mouldings and door mirror, repairs to bumper, rear door and sill and painting the entire O/S . I would estimate to replace the o/s/front wheel.
About £2500... border line total loss?!?
Why dont you get it repaired through your insurance?

I cant see you selling it for anything like £1500, I paid that for my R plate with no damage.

It is a nice car and i'd trust the seller but it is an old model so i cannot take interest

However if it was pre 90s with leather seats then hell yeh i'll, just now i'll stick to my gorgeous 85 panda

Looking for pre 95 saab
