Knew it wouldn’t take long :lol:

2019 Audi A5 40 TFSI S Line 5dr S Tronic

It appears to be FULLY LOADED. CarPlay, tech pack, heated seats, virtual cockpit. Body work, wheels and interior are like new. I like it!

Glad you like it, otherwise it would have been an odd purchase.

I saw a few during my search but not many had them on. Option maybe?

Haha, I like the look of that...how much BHP does it have?

37hrs of labour swiftly avoided... FOR YOU.

The way the light's on it makes it look like the bonnet is in two halves (or stumpy, like old Renaults).

Car Shop in Swindon. They transferred it from Manchester. Typical supermarket experience but they had the car I wanted.

Yep. The new owner has been made aware of the (minor) oil sump leak.

Isn't it now related to emmisions or summat ??

I had an Manual A5 FWD a few years back and it was all but undrivable in slippery conditions - best of luck

That's good to know - I haven't been to them but they do seem to have decent looking stock at sensible prices.

A few years ago I went to Carbase in Bristol and Weston super Mare to look at a couple of cars. They looked pretty shabby, and most of the stock looked uncared for frankly, so I went away empty handed.

I didn’t have a close look at anything else but they were happy to sort a barely noticeable scuff on the rear of mine before collection.

They’re worth a look if you see something you like. Just be prepared for the sad faces when you refuse their finance/GAP/warranties etc.
