"The previous owner recently carried out a major service and inspection on the car, addressing a range of costly repairs and maintenance tasks. However, there is now an issue with the oil cooler or cylinder head gasket, resulting in oil mixing with the water. While the car does run and drive, this issue will need to be resolved, so it is being sold as a project car. The car is inspected and approved until April 30, 2025."

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The car runs and drives, but the engine requires attention—either the oil cooler or the cylinder head gasket needs to be replaced. All electric features are operational, including windows, mirrors, seats, radio, and the roof, though the folding function of one mirror is currently non-functional. The AC has not been tested, and the heater is not functioning properly. However, the instrument panel and dashboard are fully functional, with a pixelated display on the radio.

    The alloy wheels are in good condition with only minor scuffs, and the car includes new summer tires on 20-inch Audi wheels, as well as new studded winter tires on 18-inch aftermarket wheels. Additionally, there is a minor crack in the plastic engine cover.

  • Interior condition:

    Interior is clean and well-kept, with age-related wear mainly visible on the driver’s seat bolster and a few small holes on both the driver’s and passenger’s seats (see pictures). Aside from these minor issues, the cabin is tidy and well-maintained, featuring clean door cards, rear seats, carpets, and headliner. There is a stain on the rear boot carpet and a repair on the spare wheel lid (also shown in pictures).

  • Exterior condition:

    Bodywork is straight, clean, and free from rust issues due to its all-aluminum construction. The underbody is also clean and undamaged, with only minor surface rust on some components. The paintwork is bright and presentable, though the clear coat has lifted in areas on the bonnet, and there are a few small blisters around the door pillars and edges (see pictures). The bumpers have been repainted and display a few small blisters, indicating that the front bumper may have been replaced at some point.

  • General condition:

    These cars are highly sought after, with few available for sale these days. This one offers a great winter project for those familiar with these models, though the engine issues will need to be addressed before it can be driven properly.
