  • I'll be very interested to hear your thoughts on this one, do you like it or do you hate it?
    I actually think it's quite cool, I'm just not sure on the red alloy wheels!

    That's a tool for a flymo, the orange one. For changing the spacers for the blade.

    Having different sized tyres on one side to the other "could" make the diff work harder than it should and you could be in for a massive bill for a new diff if you continue running the wheels in that configuration.

    Joe. The one big drawback with this motor is the road tax

    These ex chav Audis have always been thrashed and cost a fortune in maintenance and engine repairs. Upholstery does hold up well.

    • @TheGalifrey
      @TheGalifrey Před měsícem +3

      And most customers know this so it needs a good de-chav first

    I'd be taking those tyres off, dealer put them on my A5 and when it rained, it was like driving on ice.

  • @toms4097
    @toms4097 Před měsícem +10

    Oh you do spoil us! 👌🏻 On a Porsche the brown leather is a very costly & rare option. I think the 285/30’s are clearly meant to be on the rear. It’s hardly modified, if anything that exhaust will just let the engine breathe with ease. Looks like it’s been well looked after. I would definitely sort the red out on the wheels but keeping costs down. These reviews of cars that come in are a good job! 👍🏻

  • @djdonnychristian
    @djdonnychristian Před měsícem +16

    Hi mate, great vid. I’ve owned an A5 and now an RS5 so I know a bit about these cars.
    1) the flat bottom wheel is an upgrade from a facelift S5 (value £500). The OEM one is round.
    2) the curved plastic piece you found near the spare wheel is to cover the boot hinge.
    3) you can probably get the window surrounds re-wrapped black for approx £250.
    4) I would swap the wider tyres to the rear 👍🏻.
    Lovely cars but I think the mileage, tax and general running costs may put some ppl off. £7.5k all day imo 😄

    Wicked value for money, me personally would do the alloys in silver to go with the mirrors & get the trims back in silver but keep the little kit and get rid of that spoiler and just put a lip one on make it oem+. Great video though loving the drone shots keep it up!

  • @dan44zzt231
    @dan44zzt231 Před měsícem +1

    Really like this. I'd probably do the wheels Gloss Anthracite, remove the decals and paint the calipers dark red to match the interior. I've always found that modified car owners (mostly) look after their cars, nobody's going to spend thousands on mods then not look after them.

  • @dangosypethau
    @dangosypethau Před měsícem +2

    Great looking and sounding thing. Th only minor thing that I would like to modify would be to do the wing mirrors all black. I can see it as your daily driver though with Berrow V8 Motors sign all over the car for that section of your business! Enjoyable video. Was convinced you were going to stick your OBDEleven in it though somewhere during the video (assuming it can take it)!

  • @TheGalifrey
    @TheGalifrey Před měsícem +1

    That needs a good de-chav, silver trim, lose the red stripe and paint the wheels silver, will look so much more appealing.

  • @dave_listener
    @dave_listener Před měsícem +1

    The tyre situation, I would say it has had a puncture on the front, the space saver may not fit the front, Hence why one of the wider rear tyres were put on the front, the space saver on the rear. Then someone else just put the wheel where the space saver was on the rear.

  • @EnglishLaw
    @EnglishLaw Před měsícem +1

    Great video of a great car. Most buy/sell videos on YT are just 'safer' standard cars. I found this video very intriguing.

  • @henrykravitz468
    @henrykravitz468 Před měsícem +1

    It's a great-looking car and something I would own. Even the auctioneer, knew it was you buying it, as he said "Yours Joe" ♥ I think he may be a fan. I think one of the previous owner has looked after that car. Would Audi not have any service history on their system for the vehicle? Great Video and content.

    • @GTFour

    I’d have it. Sounds mint.Keep the wheels as they are knock a couple of hundred quid off for the new owner. It’s not over the top modded but the £735 road tax is a no go for many.

    • @andywalters7300
      @andywalters7300 Před měsícem +1

  • @tonyb1184

  • @chrisblay

    Someone really got carried away with the bolt on goodies. Probably invested a lot into making it, only to devalue the resale amount. Still, you got it for a reasonable price as a result.

  • @porkster5924

    The tyres were probably put on by mistake and easily missed I guess, but seems someone took some pride owning it and made it theirs. Not to everyone's taste but at least they enjoyed their car and in a sea of dreary grey SUVs it's quite cool I think.
