I BOUGHT A CHEAP AUDI A4 CONVERTIBLE FOR £1,200! 

Indeed!

not even overpised tho..

I go off the video length, if we're approaching 30 mins you know it's gonna be a good one 😂

It's an Audi after all.

Is there a T-shirt with that?

🤣🤣🤣

I agree. It looks great from outside. The interior is a tad too old school and basic for me though. 😂

Audi designs age very well. Even an A4 B5 sedan still looks quite passable.

Even the Audi 80 (Princess Diana) Cabriolet still looks pretty modern. Would have bought one back in the day were it not FWD only

German cars don't age as bad as jap

@@bh4560 Looks fine to me. More than in fact.

My thoughts also.

I concur 🧐

coming to think @@danthemaninfierno

Yes, the other Hankook was in the boot.

@front2427 One you lock the target. Two you bait the line..

How is the car doing thus far?

Driving 50yrs never used it

@@volt8684 Why not?

@@jonford6119 I've owned my present car for nineteen years and it's the only one I've ever had with aircon. I've used it once when I got caught in a storm and got in the car soaking wet. I've never found the need for it any other time.

I live in Portugal and can't stand aircon in cars

I’m with you. I use my air con all the. I wouldn’t buy it with no air con either.

Glad it came in handy. All the best

I used to have one, So I know you can manually put them up and down with a via access in the middle of the rear seats lol

Yes, it's confusing nonsense TBH.

Depends on the car. My Astra convertible it was just a rotten condensor. Replaced for £62 in 1 hour and regassed for £41. Lovely and cool now

Exactly@@ricardodellecarta2414...been chucking it down and cold in the UK for most of July! Dunno where the sun has gone...

Also, who's to say a previous owner hasn't been on eBay and bought a new one anyway. Not pointing at anyone in particular of course!

@@garethmorgan1858 true but I can't imagine that many would go to the effort of replacing such an insignificant part 😁

@@jamie_ar only one person I'm aware of - Matt did it in a recent video lol.

@@garethmorgan1858 - You can spot a smoker's car a mile away. They stink and there is ash EVERYWHERE. You can't hide it by buying a new lighter.

@@OMGWTFLOLSMHcar wash sorts it out for me 👀

I think I'd want the aircon fixed as well but I can see where Matt is coming from given the already high spend. Budget tyres? I'd be less concerned about that. I think this is unlikely to be a daily driver, more a top down in the summer toy and probably not driven too hard. Also they (the tyres) are going to die of old age rather than wear out.

Any new tyre is a good tyre

A lot of little roadsters don’t even come with air con

@@HighPeakAutos - Then I wouldn't buy one. Last roadster I had was a Z4 and I used the AC quite frequently during hot summer days. My days of convertibles are over though. Too hot and too noisy. I don't even like cars with sunroofs anymore. I'm good with a solid roof over my head.

@@OMGWTFLOLSMH We're all different; I drive with the sunroof open all the time, and have never used the a/c. I certainly wouldn't spend money on overhauling a failed a/c.

Mine was prior to that and perfectly fine

Had a 2004 A4 Avant with the Multitronic box and 1.9TDi engine. It got to 230k by the time I sold it on!

I know Matt rags on the DSG gearboxes, but it's really down to maintenance. The 6 speed is a very good unit. it's fast responsive and smooth.

@@paulie-Gualtieri. the one hes on about in this car isnt a dsg, its a cvt

@@cgr_doorjam0263 I know that

Thought you had to stay the engine to do the roof..?

@@neilsjmcmahon I always have the engine running before operating the roof. The problems happen when you start the engine while operating the roof.

Hey man, im thinking of buying a used audi cabrio with a milage of around 200k km - 250k km. Theyre going for around 2 3k euros. Think its a good idea? And how often does the roof break?

@@yasingunaydiin Too high mileage for me. Roof reliability pretty good and pretty cheap to fix by independent specialists when I had problems.

Yes, because air con costs you about 5 horse power...

Where do u find such good deals? 😮

but its an astra, the most bland car in the world

People fall for it all the time

Not my own experience. Came and looked at car and noticed a small dent that I hadn't declared so took off a reasonable amount then noticed it had full service history not partial as I had stayed so upped the offer back up😂

@@nicholashoward3681 That sounds fair and I’m glad to hear so. I don’t know Motorway (hence ‘probably’ and ‘companies like’) but I do know some companies here in the Netherlands that do have some, let’s call it dishonest, methods. On the other hand, some sellers aren’t exactly honest when describing their car too.

Webuyanycar are exactly the same. They offer a great price online then deduct money for every slight fault on the outside of the car. When it’s a few years old you would accept it normally but they use it to get your car for cheap money. I call them westealanycar!

@@coops1964 Exactly what I meant.

Good tip, I do too

😂😂

I still have the original tires on my 2007 Honda Fit. Only 39k kms, lots of tread left but they're obviously due for replacement. I only use it once a week and only in fair weather. It gets parked all winter. Every year I say I'm going to replace them but then I drive it and they feel fine, so I don't. I put maybe 2000 kms/year on them and only drive in the city.

@@OMGWTFLOLSMH Rubber gone hard & a accident waiting to happen.

Old tyre has the last owner has different alloys on and stored the originals then put the originals on to sell old rubber cannot be trusted believe me i got 3 children now keep saving the old cars

Me too, loved it!

I would think disconnecting the Aircon pump was a fuel saving measure? I never heard of that before.

@@ouethojlkjn neither have I heard of that 🫨 That is literally what the Economy button is for 😄 Altought I know few people who would never switch on their AC's no matter how hot it gets to save a few pennies so I guess it's possible that someone would actually disconnect 😆

Yeah boot micro switch had that problem as well lol

IMO With all due respect Robert, Matt knows that Triangle is another cheap Chinese Tyre Only $ 50 each Tyre But, it’s an 18 year old car, at a $ 3,995 ask And not a performance version of the A4 either. It’s got 4 new tyres, which would be a big plus to potential customers. Unfortunately a potential buyer in this price bracket, is highly unlikely to gladly pay a high price or top dollar & No discount on the Audi, just because it’s fitted with 4 new Michelin or Pirelli tyres that would cost $ 800.00 If Matt had fitted new Michelin or Pirelli tyres, the car would then owe him $ 3,500.00 Instead of it owing him $ 2,900.00 which includes the $ 200.00 cost of 4 new Triangle tyres. He might only get $ 3,500.00 for the car ? Equals - NO profit ! In many other videos, Matt does spend a lot extra to fit a decent brand of Tyre…. When he probably should not, as the extra $ 500.00 spent for a decent brand of Tyre, most likely won’t be appreciated by the customer, and it takes a huge chunk out of slim margins on cars of this price bracket… In 90 % of the videos, the cars Matt shows us in videos generally are fitted with a “ no name brand “ of Chinese Tyre… Even on fairly late model cars, such as BMW or Benz that High Peak have traded or bought 🤷🏻‍♂️

What's the difference between a car with air conditioning and one with air cooling? 😂

@@richardbartlett6932air cooling is a blower, all cars have them. If you're trying to be clever or funny then you need to work on your material fella.

Whatever it means he had the air con switched off. The red light was illuminated on the ‘Econ’ button

I agree. I have owned many convertibles and having AC is an absolute must, even more than in a hard top. But then I live in Australia where it gets very hot.

These are the exact opposite of "great" cars. It looks nice and probably drives nice, but that's where it ends. Maintenance nightmares.

@@OMGWTFLOLSMHhe just said he had it for 16 years. Surely it can’t be that bad?

Hey man, im thinking of buying a used audi cabrio with a milage of around 200k km - 250k km. Theyre going for around 2 3k euros. Think its a good idea? And how often does the roof break?

Yeah, I came here to say that. With the engine running the motors/pumps get the correct voltage.

Thanks

Haha letting standards slip

Slip to still well above the normal garage ! I think we have to be realistic that without the content platform you have it’s unsustainable to make everything perfect.

Bro it drivers very well. Very comfortable, not noisy and massive feeling > not usual for a convertible

I have a convertible without AC, and it can be unbearable on a hot day - burn with the roof down, or sweat with the roof up. If I were ever to change it for a different convertible, I'd go for one with AC

Or get a tight fitting hat

IMO As long as High Peak clearly advise that AC doesn’t work, and write this down on Sales Contract T & C’s then the buyer is fully aware, and can’t then call up a week later, after having taken delivery of the Audi, and expect Matt to then spend ( up to ) $ 1 k ? for a compressor / other parts etc, via the Warranty that a Licensed Dealer is legally required to give… 🤷🏻‍♂️ 😳
