Around the start of the year I started to keep an eye out for a replacement for the Golf R Estate which I knew was going back in June.
The Golf R was primarily used by Mrs C and for all of our family duties. The estate was great so we knew we wanted another.
Anyhow considered leasing again and weighed up several motors but based on all the requirements we wanted I kept coming back to the A4 Avant.
This 2013 2.0TDI (143BHP) Black Edition in Ibis white with only 39K popped up for sale with Colin Francis Cars around March.
It was a bit earlier than we planned as we still had 3+ months with the Golf but the car was as described and we couldn’t fault it. It’s a NI car and was supplied new by Portadown Audi with 2 previous owners.
On a separate note, as I know some dealers get a bad reputation, Colin Francis was an absolute Gentleman to deal with. He gave us a great package and I would highly recommend him. Extensive range of quality stock.
Since March I have done is the following:
No rear other plans for it apart from a few OEM bits if/when I get the urge.
I’ve still the Nextbase hardwire kit to fit.
Few pictures from our trip down the West Coast of Ireland during the summer.
Revo Stage 1 time ...
