Sold to Fontain

MiguelMcTyson · 23-05-2008, 10:41 AM

Just a quick note to say sold my car to these guys this week, offered over the phone after some e-mailed pics and paid up without question after seeing the car in the flesh by bank transfer, enabled me to secure a great deal on another car quickly.

So a personal recomendation from me.

Sold my S4 Avant to them last month paid me on the spot on put me on the train home.

They've managed to sell it on already.

Sold to them once and found them to be excellent - decribed the car and they came and picked it up. When my B6 S4 Avant goes, I will be calling them again.

Marcus is a good guy and one of the better Audi buyers out there.

I sold my A4 Avant 2.5TDI Quattro Sport to them a few years ago, excellent service and they beat Aston Green Audi's price by over 2k as it was immaculate. It was sold straight away so someone on a waiting list i suspect.

Thoroughly recommended.

I think they often effectively buy to order, or 'strong preference'. It is something that any dealer can do if they can be bothered but most can't.

My old B6 S4 ended up there as well and got sold on quickly. On a similar note there seem to be a lot of B6 S4's appearing in Audi dealers at the moment, my local one has 3. Wonder if it's people chopping in because of fuel and road-tax costs?

Has to be a feature but B6 S4's are now all in the 3-5 year age range where people often sell up. Mine is an 03 with 50k miles and is not worth a lot but it does drink a lot! They seem very robust cars so I'm tempted to just keep it as an occasional car as the idea of shelling out £45k for the replacement doesn't do much for me.

Anyway if I keep it another five years, it will only have 80k on it at ten years old. If its worth £3k then then its depreciated £2k pa over its 2nd five year period which is ok. I still prefer it to the idea of getting an A3 or Golf as the basic ones are basic and the fast ones use Quattro that doesn' work very well (not a fan of Haldex).
