Hello all,
Last week I picked up my new A2. It's a 2003 (52 plate) 1.4 petrol SE in dolphin grey. One owner from new, full Audi service history at Stafford Audi (including every MOT until current), and 97k on the clock (and i'm not casting any aspersions but Radio 4 was the most worn preset button!). It's also got the usual wear on the CC buttons but apart from that it's tidy and I'm already smitten. There's not much in the way of bells and whistles (no opensky, DIS or leather seats etc) but there's no shame in that - it's my first A2 and I have to say I'm really chuffed with it. I paid £3,100 from a local non-Audi dealer, but as it has just has a new back box and central exhaust section and has 12 months MOT I'm not complaining -there aren't exactly loads for sale in the Chester area!
The timing belt was replaced at 44k (which is a little on the early side), so I'll probably look to have this done again soon together with the water pump for peace of mind, and of course a service.
Hopefully many years of happy A2 ownership lie ahead. Thanks for all your helpful posts which gave me lots of tips whilst I was hunting, I hope I'll be able to contrbute too. Oh, and finally, I think I'm going to call it...... A2D2
Cheers all,
