Duly noted. Will resist looking at cars for another 6 months at least
So, I just dropped R115k on my new baby:
2007 A4 2.0T FSi (147kW) with sport pack/mags
< 103,000km on the clock
6 Speed manual
Cambelt done at 90k.
Still under extended warranty for the next 6 months or so.
IMMACULATE condition - full 150-point Bosch inspection done and all they could find was one tiny scratch on the paintwork which they had to look really hard to find.
After I had test driven this beaut I was sold. It's quite an upgrade from my '05 Polo 1.6
Some pics for anyone who is interested:
Now, I have some questions for those who have experience with these vehicles:
1. I really am going to miss the Bluetooth functionality that I have in my Polo. What are my options for upgrading the current system to something that has Bluetooth, doesn't look out of place, and works with the Bose sound, at a reasonable price? A unit with a 7" display would be sweet, but the ones I've seen at +-4k are not compatible with the Bose sound.
2. Are there options for upgrading tail lights to LEDs at a reasonable price?
3. Daytime running lights - one thing I really love about the B8 Audis. Is there any way to add these to a B7 that's not going to look tacky?
Hoping you guys can tell me my money was well spent.

Thanks man. Can't seem to get registered on Audi Club SA so can't see the one link.
Nearly had a heart attack with insurance quotations (me being 24) but eventually came right with a reasonable quote with Hollard via a broker.
Now I can have some fun

Hi Mark,
Congrats on the new ride.
I fitted one of these into the cubby hole. Emulates a cd changer and has bluetooth as optional extra. Quite happy with it so far

Congrats! Money well spent. Although you still have a warranty, make it a habit to put aside money every month for future maintenance. It should be mandatory like an insurance premium.

I'm 27 and paying R669 for my 2.0 through a broker and Santam.
I'm paying R755 with a R3k excess.
But every single other quote I got was in the region of R2000 p/m with as much as a R15,000 excess. Madness!
Thanks bud. I had a look at those. Just need to figure out whether mine has a CD changer or not. Not sure yet.
I plan on extending the warranty further
but yeah I'll be sure to put money aside for any additional maintenance. Thanks!

Is that not a bit high? Unless you have no excess?
That's not bad at all. I experience the same insurance *** when I bought my Accord. Outsurance was 3 times higher than Hondasure (Hollard).

R2,500 I think.

Had an A1 demo for the day today. Not a bad little car.
Quite zooty. And tank hardly dropped. Flipping thing runs in fumes.
