I bought a CHEAP Audi A5 for £2000! Can I double my money?!

In this video I am looking at an Audi A5 2.0 TFSI that we recently took in part exchange. Can I double my money on this with minimal amounts of work?

Hi Joe, nice tidy car the Audi A5 and it has cleaned up well.having the timing chain done knowing somebody has looked after it.

Huge fan of videos joe, watch them all, especially fond of the new “weekly follow along” videos, I was wondering, other than the cars you can drive from work, what is your actual car, like your daily/weekend car that’s on the drive at home? Just triggered my interest. Cheers mate.

[@ShiftingMetal]

I don’t have one currently. Well, I have the high mileage BMW 320d from an earlier video but my Mrs has stolen that!

[@julienwill3284]

Another great video, Joe. After Jordans magic looks stunning, the tan leather duiys the car and with service history and ice cold A/C nice car for someone someone. Audi build quality at a reasonable price, well bought and will be well sold.

[@ShiftingMetal]

Thanks Julien! 🫡

[@francisjtuk]

Great video ! Could you do one on sourcing stock for the new guys just starting out (probably from driveway). It seems that auctions are probably the way but I'm not sure.

[@ShiftingMetal]

I could definitely give it a go 👍

[@madalex26]

another great vid!

[@ShiftingMetal]

Appreciate that

[@Lou_Kyr]

Great video and nice audi for the money

[@hyperhart100]

I found vehicle score to be well out, not only did it give me a vehicle value of half of what my car is it also give me a low score compared to complete sheds.

[@piovo5222]

its just based of previous MOTs im pretty sure and failure and advisories lowers the score alot

[@hyperhart100]

Only bad point it come up with that the car is 10 years old, it’s a Sept 2013 with 49k, anything needed doing has been done, always serviced, HPI clear, failed a MOT on headlight beam but only because they didn’t adjust the manual level switch on the dashboard. It’s worth at least 10k and they estimated around the 5k mark.

[@bumfluffmcregor3730]

If it's a diesel it will have dropped loads because of ulez both my cars have on all websites dropped like a stone

[@tomoreilly9932]

When you accelerate the wheels immediately have more traction on the tarmac which would annul the sensation of shocker vibration.

[@garyclements2821]

Great video as usual, great car at a bargain price, those cars will run forever. I kept getting drawn to the torn AA flag as I used to do the site maintenance in a car showroom and I kept getting drawn to it 🤣 Tan leather in the car looks smart although black would win every time

[@ShiftingMetal]

I’m sorting it tomorrow! Everyone keeps mentioning it! 😂

[@bantamNeil12]

Super Joe, AA calm down...lol...😂😂😂

[@SportFury1966]

You should read out the manufacture dates during your tyre look-ins; more important than tread depth. Not to besmirch the legend that is the P308 Plus, of course. The leather colour works because it's *not* tan, but yes: brown.

[@mickthompson584]

" I like a bit of brown" must be the classic comment so far. Loving the videos Joe many thanks.

[@clairebroughton3244]

Timming chain 😂😂

[@mrd64]

Didn't realise the A5 had been around for so long as it still looks contemporary. The seat colour isn't too bad but not keen on the pattern.

[@zzhughesd]

Answer without watching. Probably !! Suns out. I’ve been mopping. Oh. Good engine for the A5. The V6 2.7d is kinda too dangerous. As many a diesel is suppose. Right engine. Autogrip. Nice.

Just put my 2016 mondeo 2.0 titanium x sport through vehicle score, 156k miles, says its above average life expctancy, also says its worth £7600 to 9500, considering i paid 9k for it 3 years ago and at 100k miles..., im quite pleased about the depreciation, so ill keep on putting on my 20/30k a year and not worry when even when it hits 200k.

[@ShiftingMetal]

Result!

Do like brown leather... my X3 has "Mocha Vernasca" I'm toying with selling it... if you're interested - it's Black Sapphire with the Plus and Tech packs, 3.0 diesel, 53k on an 18 plate 😉

Good buy joe bought below market value,there is certainly a profit on this acquisition.

[@ShiftingMetal]

[@itscuntor]

That radio alone is worth quite a bit of money, I think that alone makes it even more of a bargain than the car already is! They can be quite labour intensive to fit as well. I'm jealous of this find ...

[@fathertiresias8561]

A buggy Xtrons with software that will outdate very quickly and not be updated from a company hat has zero customer interest is not value adding or desirable. Personally I'd want it removed and the original put back.

[@itscuntor]

@@fathertiresias8561 It's much better than having the stock radio in there, and you still have full access to the factory MMI system via the unit so you're not forced to use it if you didn't want to

[@fathertiresias8561]

@@itscuntor The trouble is that the Xtrons unit still uses the existing radio via an RF modulator so will sound worse than the stock unit. It also seems to block the fresh air vents which are far more use if you can get an airflow out of them!!!

[@Kingdonnerkebab]

Have you sorted the A8's mmi glitch yet Joe

[@ShiftingMetal]

I think so, I think it was all down to the brake switch 🤞

Second hand car prices have gone completely bonkers. 5 years ago a fifteen year old car withh 100k+ miles and a potential for the need of very expensive parts would be lucky to retail at £1500. Now £4000!! Insane
