Been for sale for a long time - serious money even with the low miles, not even a LUX model (leather, electric windows all round or armrest, etc...) but it is a CUP

@stuartyvilla I have been looking at them for a few months now, nearly bought one but the info from the seller didnt add up. They are a great looking car I think and something different over here for a TDI daily compared to Leon's and Golf's

You want a LUX CUP in an ideal world, easiest tell for a CUP is grey wing mirrors

Plus they are high tax and not great MPG compared to equivalents - however look best :joy:

Id say it must be pushing a year for sale, maybe be worth chatting to them on the price.

I have temporarily gone off the idea of running a "reliable" daily - just going to plod away with the S3 for the time being and see how it goes. Can't think of anything I genuinely would change too

Good man!

Nothing beats that Audi. Plus your doing 30 odd mpg. Unless I'm doing a stupid long drive my 320d is doing low 40s. So not worth it in my eyes for you

The market has gone bananas. Iv give up looking at anything I would daily and just look at classic cars now.

Anything you would daily which isn’t covered in oil or sheep **** is grossly overpriced

I would in a heart beat if I could afford one - however, I would happily step back into an 8P in the RS3

However my spec would have to be:
  • Wingbacks
  • Extended leather
  • Rear heated seats
  • Aluminum Pack
  • Roof rails
  • Not sure if they ever came with a sun roof

If your not doing big miles, that is a great choice!

Dare I say these have aged quite well too...


Does anyone have any experience with Availablecar?

The Bro-in-law wants this car.


Does anyone happen to know anything about them?

I'm watching the usual sites for G30 530d's daily & that's a good price.

Think I'd have the fear every day driving one..

Annoyingly it has a felt spec roof vinyl and black mirrors when they should be aluminium

Tatty wheel nut covers and full tints

Always loved that shape, it has aged very well. It’s just the interior that lets them down now.
