Looks like a very straight old car - quite tempted to make an offer.

 

Does anyone know what the Cambelt change frequency is on these?

 

I owned (and very much miss) a late 90's Audi 100 2.6 V6. This seems to offer a very similar package, along with an additional ~50BHP.

looks great .....y dont you go have a look at it??if you like it do lil magic n negotiate on the price   2.8 v6 petrol manual.....

The seller is not very positive in her views is she!

Regarding the cambelt change interval, should be ~ 120000 km (75000 miles) or 5 years, whichever comes first (regarding the time change interval there are a lot of discussions due to the fact that it is merely a recommendation).

 

Now I know that the oil barrel price dropped lately to ~ 50 US$, still does not make too much sense this waste of fuel (compared to the BHP you get), not too mention that the resale value will only drop; also the starting price seems quite high for this engine/age.

Just my opinion...

Ironically when I put the car into a used car price guide it would not reconise the 2.8 for 2005 only for 2003 and the price for the mileage was 1600-1900. So I did try a 2.5 diesel for 2005 and that was about 3100 - 3600.

 £156 tax seems very low for a V6 manual petrol?

 

My old 2005 (54) 1.9TDi is currently for sale at £2995 with 86,000 miles so the price for this V6 seems very reasonable.

I looked at this........I think she's used a bit of 'advertising licence' in quoting that figure

[jimbof]

Sounds like a slippery seller to take a wide berth from

[Dr Zoidberg]

That wall of text looked like the internet in 1992 which would have been enough to put me off.

She may as well have said 'Tax only £24' as that's about what the monthly DD would be.

 

Although she is technically correct, something like that would put me off buying a car from anyone with that level of sneakiness. I don't think I'll be asking her to design any websites for me either..
