Plenty about in that price range also.
I keep looking at german estates but where i work the car park is about as tight as a virgins fanny. Would go in nice and tight but might make a mess when in and out all the time

Flol, you said they were fine until you got rid.
If you're looking at the sort of car in OP though, they're maybe OK.

They were fine until i had a couple issues - transfer case leaking and the clutch reciept simply not existing... But its totally one of those garages that would do anything to take your cash

the cars not for me. I am going to look at it for a mate. If it has all the right service history and everything else checks out he will no doubt buy it. was just looking for any common faults to look for specific to this car.
will have a little google search my self . cheers for the heads up on the garage, that's my opinion on most small car dealers tho, will try flog you anything. just got to make my own judgement on the car.

Is it a genuine s-line? Interior looks more base spec.

Can see an s-line badge on dash but seats look base spec and no multi function steering wheel either.

Multi function steering wheels on audi's are a very expensive option, it's not standard s-line spec.
Nor is half leather or leather. s-line spec isn't really all that fancy.
