Sub £4k 4WD car

[Lyons]

Here we go again .

I'm after one of the following;

Golf/Bora/Passat 4motion
Impreza turbo
Legacy/Outback 2.5
A3/A4 Quattro

Must have below 100k miles and be below £4k.

Octavia 4wd? Can b got in non Vrs guise?

 

[Lyons]

Is that some sort of sick joke?

 

[hannakournikova]

Ohh Ive missed this one, what happened to the one you brought home?

BTW Ian it HAS to be an impreza. Mechanical grip for the win.

If that car is as straight as it looks....in a heartbeat!

04 Quattro 1.9tdi, 160k miles, immaculate black cloth interior, tax and tested - £3700

 

[Nicky]

There's also an 02 A4 Avant 2.5tdi V6 Quattro with 103k miles but she has no kit. It's around the £2k mark somewhere.

 

[Gambit]

that audi looks a belter

tbh honest you wont like impreza interiors, especially classics! - they are what id describe as plastic taxi interiors!

 

[Nicky]

Gambit - There's a bit of room to move on the price if you really like it

To me as long as the seat is confortable, radio works and leccy windows, I really dont mind. Much of it is modable if really desperate too.

doesnt bother me either but will bother Lyons!

 

[Lyons]

Too many miles Nicky.

I think I could put up with a Classic if it was a good original example, but prefer the interior of the 01- models.

I saw that Brendy, but is that not newer model money? There's a couple for mid £3k's.

Took the contribution from the dealer and someone is picking the car up tonight. Got my money back on it so happier to get rid of it.

 

[Lyons]

There's a 3.0i manual X5 for £4500 too, but head says no!

 

[brendy]

Manual X5 would be less troublesome than the auto actually but maybe be as nice a drive and the 3.0 is gutless, I tested one before going to england for the 4.6.

3.x is into newage, not many for sale in NI though so youd need to factor in plane and boat back.

If not a problem then even better, loads across the water, the likes of the 01/02 bugeye models are 270 a year tax etc.
Standard bugs and blobs are ten a penny like this one (screaming for a little lowering and rear spoiler if I was being picky.

[Lyons]

Jeepers that is literally perfect.

Is tax on the 03 ones £270 too?

However after the Skoda experience, mainland buying is out. With the exception of a 50 mile radius of Edinburgh.

 

[gav525]

I can confirm the 3.0i x5s are pretty gutless!

 

[Lyons]

Not too bothered about power. I know the auto boxes and turbos/injectors on the diesel give bother, but as the 3.0i manual woul have none if these what else is prone to going on X5's?

No offence 1st gear is grand enough but it really starts to show its weight after that.


Ian yea 270 up until march 06 iirc.

Auto boxes, Electrics (heating system has a quirky battery drain part that needs replacing), door handles and orange led display starts to garble . My X5 has done pretty much every one of these bar the led speedo display. some are a lot cheaper to fix than others
