Picked up this 2003 A2 1.4 (BBY) last week for the equal of GBP 750.
Did not pass the Norwegian MOT, hence the low price:
- Rear springs broken (cheap and easy to replace)
- Left side parking brake does not work (turned out to be the cable that was frozen)
- Exhaust leak (middle silencer was totally rotten, a generic replacement in the exact same size was £20 and took me 10 minutes with the welder to install)
- Headlights yellow and unclear (two hours of wet sanding 400 - 800 - 1200 - 1500 - 2000 and a polisher = like new)
The rusted steel wheels without hubcaps look horrible and the stock alloys for summer wheels are heavily curbed, but that's all fixable.
The interior is almost flawless (but dirty) except the usual wear on the light switch, the paint seems to be quite ok as well for the age.
Full service record from Audi all the way since new, two owners. Not a lot of extras, but it does have a leather steering wheel, climate control, cruise control, Concert radio and a 5-seater. Plan on fixing it up, a inside and outside detailing, adding fog lights to use as DRLs and find some OE wheels in 15" or 16" that will be a good match to the design of the car. Maybe at some point later, a trailer hitch to use my bike rack.
