I bought the A4 after my wife re-arranged the front of her 370Z on the back of a Nissan Qashqai. Saw the video, love the approach of Matt which matches my own and wife still wanted a convertible. Mechanically spot on and after 2 days detailing the paint matches the work Matt put in. Gave full price and loving the bangernomics motoring. Was not bothered by the lack of a/c as the roof works though have replaced the centre caps which lifted the car. Keeping an eye on his stock for the next motor - Mercedes 350 convertible please Matt if you can source 😂

Great vid, the car looked nice and good value for the asking price. I wouldn't be at all worried about the paint on a car of that age, but I don't think I'd buy it without AC. It's not just for cooling in the summer, it's also great for de-humidifying the air in the cooler months. I started driving long before AC became the norm in cars, and I wouldn't want to go back to those times.

Don’t start the engine while operating the roof as it can confuse the sensors and gets stuck. There’s a special tool next to the fuses to cycle the roof manually which fixes it. Only happened to mine once in 10 years so I only use the roof with the engine running and has not happened since.

I had a B7 2.0T, which got relegated to my partner's runaround when I saw sense and got a diesel for my commute. Then the roof went, so I moved it on. The guy who bought it started using it for food deliveries and then I've seen it on Marketplace for sale about three times, the last time it was in my home town, advertised for what I paid for it 4 years prior. It was on 120k plus miles and the turbo was whistling. I can see why it was moved on regularly. Beautiful Mauritius Blue paint, grey Nappa leather, fridge in the glove box, 6-disc changer head unit. I miss it.

It can cost thousands to repair, and with climate change, it's often way too hot during the day to drive with the top down.

Thats right the ECON button on most VAG stuff of that era means Economy. The idea is that you set the temprature and it will use the air con system in the background as and when it needs to maintain that temprature. Pressing ECON would stop the a/c cutting in. Climatronic. I think thats what they called it back in the day. Geeky fact alert but early MK5 golfs and passats of that era had ECON buttons, but the later ones had an A/C button which is the other way about. So it actually confused a lot of people too.

Boot switch on my 2010 XC60 stopped working, the microswitch has a known issue of grease causing an issue with connections, fix is to remove the rubber boot over the switch and spray/inject solvent to wash the grease away and fix the switch or you can replace the switch and whole housing for £150 as the switch is not replaceable.

A lot of times you overspend on getting the car right for resale, but that what makes you so successful because we all know buying from you the car is going to be almost perfect matt 👍🏾

We have had a our S line 2008 for 15 years , sound as a pound , if regular services carried out . Down side leaky third brake light gasket , which also damages the rear number plate lights and a common fault on the pump motor for the roof , which I believe was sorted on latter models . Fun to drive and never dates , and not regarded as a chav in an old BMW .

I’ve just got a 2006 Audi a4 sport cabriolet tdi for free due to a faulty ccm and a water leak inside and very grubby outside from not being used . It’s not a S Line just a TDI Sport 2.0 6 speed and I reckon it’s a ccm reboot away from stardom

The condition of the alloys and age of the tyres suggest that the previous owner had the car on a different set and these have probably been sitting in a garage. When are you releasing the "I've massively overspent" branded merch?

19:35 2.0tfsi was worst engine whatsoever drank oil like there is no bottom which were piston rings I think and overall overboosed engine depending on power output would rather get old 2.4 V6 or 1.9TDI old one missing 2.0tdi which was catastrophic as well only one which was somehow worth was the pure 2.0FSI I think

Matt, I used to be a class one driver, and on a MERC I ran Firestone tyres and did 120k with them. Changed them when worn out too, Triangle. Same truck, same work, same driver, they lasted, 50k, so mate be warned they are rubbish, better to be forewarned. We sent all of our unused ones back to our tyre supplier.

IMO With all due respect Robert, Matt knows that Triangle is another cheap Chinese Tyre Only $ 50 each Tyre But, it’s an 18 year old car, at a $ 3,995 ask And not a performance version of the A4 either. It’s got 4 new tyres, which would be a big plus to potential customers. Unfortunately a potential buyer in this price bracket, is highly unlikely to gladly pay a high price or top dollar & No discount on the Audi, just because it’s fitted with 4 new Michelin or Pirelli tyres that would cost $ 800.00 If Matt had fitted new Michelin or Pirelli tyres, the car would then owe him $ 3,500.00 Instead of it owing him $ 2,900.00 which includes the $ 200.00 cost of 4 new Triangle tyres. He might only get $ 3,500.00 for the car ? Equals - NO profit ! In many other videos, Matt does spend a lot extra to fit a decent brand of Tyre…. When he probably should not, as the extra $ 500.00 spent for a decent brand of Tyre, most likely won’t be appreciated by the customer, and it takes a huge chunk out of slim margins on cars of this price bracket… In 90 % of the videos, the cars Matt shows us in videos generally are fitted with a “ no name brand “ of Chinese Tyre… Even on fairly late model cars, such as BMW or Benz that High Peak have traded or bought 🤷🏻‍♂️

14:29 I like CVT's. They are the only automatics without a mind of their own, they can literally be controlled by your foot. I prefer a manual, but if it had to be an automatic, CVT please. 3995 for a 18 year old not-too-desireable not particularly sporty audi on death rings without a working air con... I'd be interested to see if you manage with this one. I really hope so for you, but this is the first time In all of those videos where I go 'nah, that ain't happenin' chief!'. I'm saying 3295, maybe 3495 if you get lucky. Hope I'm wrong!
