FOR SALE: B4 COUPE 2.6 V6

sonico3 · January 28, 2019

With some regret, I'm offering my fantastic B4 COUPE for sale. It's the 2.6 litre V6 engine model. Reasonable miles at 180k, which is an average of just under 8k miles per year over 23 years.

The previous owner owned his own independent garage up in Scotland and he has documented the timing belt being changed by him in 2017,, he obviously didn't charge himself so there is no amounts of money on the bill. There is also a HUGE amount of receipts for parts over the years..........

I've had it since early July 2018 , and love it, but I'm not in love with it. It's a great car however and I haven't been disappointed with it in any way.

For a big old lump though, she's fairly frugal, returning close to 30mpg in mixed driving and low 40's on a decent run

Doesn't use a drop of oil, no leaks anywhere, no rattles / knocks from suspension etc.

Had a new "TYPE APPROVED" CAT for the recent MOT, along with new pads in the front and back.

4 Original SPEEDLINE alloys in great condition and will be included in the sale
4 brand new tyres in August
Electric Windows
Electric Mirrors
Alessio aftermarket 17inch alloys fitted
Central locking and immobiliser with keyfob x2
Rear fog lights
Front fog lights
Height adjustable front seats

ALL OF THE INTERIOR/GAUGE LIGHTS ILLUMINATE CORRECTLY

The period light grey half leather interior is in great condition, and with it not being full leather , you don't get freezing cold seats in the winter , there are zero holes in the seats btw and the fronts are very supportive RECARO "type"

MOT till OCTOBER 2019

The exterior is excellent for a 23 year old car , with no rust. The rubbing strips on the doors do have some chips and scratches, after all ...... that is what they are there for, to protect the doors, however a perfectionist would want to sort these with some paint.

With the car being 23 years old, there are of course little bits and pieces that still need looking at to make perfect.

The bootlid/hatch does not open remotely, only when you use the key,
Rear wiper did not work when I got the car ( possibly a fuse ? ) so I removed it as I strongly dislike them, I have treated the rear screen with RAIN-X and that does the job better than any wiper.
The ABS light sometimes comes on when driving along, I've had the garage look at it but they said everything seems to be working fine, just a dirty sensor maybe ?

I'd say there's nothing there which is too difficult to sort, but I do want to document the things that need a little attention.

These lovely solid old coupes are starting to rise in value. They won't be this cheap for long, especially the big V6 models like this one.

I apologise in advance for the lack of shiny paintwork on this beauty, but I'm the kind of guy that would rather attend to the running gear and mechanicals than polish the paint, in my opinion there's nothing worse than a great looking car that rattles and squeaks because the owner can't be bothered sorting the problems out, I hate that.

I have taken the coupe to a professional detailer for a quote to machine polish the car, he told me it would be a fairly easy job as this era of Audi has very hard paint/top coat and quote " will take a machine polish well "

The car is located in REDCAR, about 10 minutes walk from the North Yorkshire coast, by the seaside, half an hour from sunny Whitby , the home of THE best fish and chips.

The postcode area is TS10.

I'm happy to help out in any way with collecting it's new owner from the airport (Durham/Tees Valley) or railway station.

( Darlington/Middlesbrough or Redcar )

I am looking for around £1550, although welcome any offers from fellow Retro Riders. I might even be open to a part-ex, particularly something Japanese.
