M20str Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 Hi folks, first post here but have lurked for a while and normally spend me time over on the ttforum. I'm possibly considering getting an A4 Cab as a replacement for the TT Coupe that I have now but the used prices seem really high, almost close to retail. I've looked on audi's site and autotrader, but is there anywhere else I might find a "bargain"? Good news for you guys that have already bought one (strong residuals) no so for me ! I have also been considering an A4 Avant (I know, chalk and cheese) and they seem to hold their value as well but the prob I'm having is finding one with leather which seem quite rare. The Cab is in number one spot but may have till wait 12-18 months for prices to fall, but until then may get the Avant. Looking to spend £18-20k-ish whats the best bet (with leather) that won't feel sluggish after a 225 TT? Cheers Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian_m Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 I have seen a couple of A4 cabs for 19.5-20k!!! They were 52 plate 1.8T models! DO IT!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ari Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 High residuals might make it more expensive to get in, but at least it'll hold its value for you. Welcome to the board by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lmmlmmam Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 [ QUOTE ] that won't feel sluggish after a 225 TT? Cheers Mike [/ QUOTE ] Unfortunately Mike they may all feel sluggish c.f a 225 TT. The 1.8T is only 163BHP in the cab and it is a heavy car. Also if worked hard to overcome the bulk the engines lack of refinement becomes a bit depressing. 2.4 is refined but the low end performance is very weak and fuel consumption is high. So only the 3.0 and 2.5TDI stand any chance of delivering close to what you are used to on the performance front. Was in my Audi dealer yesterday and they had 4 A4 cabs for sale second hand, 1 new. I reckon you should be able to drive a strong bargin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
