I think he got taken for a ride...
 
Good buy. About a year ago I almost bought the same type of A4 at around the R120k mark. Had a child since then so went the SUV route instead.

The only negative things people warned me against buying a A4 out of its warranty/motor plan is that when something goes, it can set you back quite a few thousand which is why you see such bargains for out of service plan A4s. But at the end of the day it is the same case with most modern vehicles. Something big can go wrong with any car, or not at all

Yip. Non turbo hopefully minimises this. I've been quite lucky with the replacement parts included, also spoke to the previous owner (50s). His father in law's car which the previous owner bought from him. Definiteley not a windgat, treated car superbly, always parked in garage, etc. So I'm left feeling confident.

Well, the car looks brand new at a third of the price. A steal. Plus you got it via the dealer which adds some peace of mind especially for that first month. There are lots of bargains to be had in the 80k-120k mileage range. It is used, but still has a good few years left. As long as you have surplus funds available for a rainy day then there is nothing to worry about.

Absolutely, since I started out looking at private sales. My plan is to sell/trade in at around 125,000km. Since it's an '07 model it'll have a slightly higher value. Should be able to trade in at around R90k - R95k or sell at around R100k - R105k.

She was traded in at R100k at 101,000km.
 
Well done dude - but could someone please post the pics locally as they're blocked at the office? :o
 
'grats, dude. A new car's always special, even when someone else has run it in for you. Wish you many safe and trouble-free miles ahead. :)
