I bought the A4 after my wife re-arranged the front of her 370Z on the back of a Nissan Qashqai. Saw the video, love the approach of Matt which matches my own and wife still wanted a convertible. Mechanically spot on and after 2 days detailing the paint matches the work Matt put in. Gave full price and loving the bangernomics motoring. Was not bothered by the lack of a/c as the roof works though have replaced the centre caps which lifted the car. Keeping an eye on his stock for the next motor - Mercedes 350 convertible please Matt if you can source 😂

@jonathanmoore994 10 месяцев назад

Fundamentally, a sound car to start off with that had been well cared for albeit with some deferred maintenance. That's what I would always want to buy. The ones where you transform them are great watching, but I would always worry about buying something that had been badly looked after. This one was sound.

Great vid, the car looked nice and good value for the asking price. I wouldn't be at all worried about the paint on a car of that age, but I don't think I'd buy it without AC. It's not just for cooling in the summer, it's also great for de-humidifying the air in the cooler months. I started driving long before AC became the norm in cars, and I wouldn't want to go back to those times.

@peterowen4456 10 месяцев назад

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.

@OMGWTFLOLSMH 10 месяцев назад

No Audis fill me with confidence, but you got a good deal. Personally, I wouldn't buy a car without AC or working AC. It can cost thousands to repair, and with climate change, it's often way too hot during the day to drive with the top down. I've had a few convertibles and they're only fun on cloudy days or warm nights. Getting blasted by the sun is not my idea of fun and enjoyment.

I actually like the grill on the earlier model (and the rest of the front as well). Maybe it's boring, but it's also effortlessly elegant. This newer one kind of looks like it's melted. Still, it does look more modern and you ain't fooling anyone with the previous one since it's 90s all the way.

Being a Manc living on the south coast I tend to buy rag tops, one of my Saab 93 Cabs aircon never worked since the day I bought it, hot days were torture inside of the car you could bake bread, drop the top yes but then the sun gets to much and rather than all 4 of the occupants favouring extras from the film Laurence of Arabia, put the top down and widows down back to bread mode ( like being in a tent on a hot day) my next Saab ( and any other cars) I made sure the aircon was cold enough freeze your nadgers off ( once bitten twice shy, and never again )

Think this will be snapped up quick. Great to see an old car given more life again. Great video Matt.

@ciaranq787 10 месяцев назад

Thats right the ECON button on most VAG stuff of that era means Economy. The idea is that you set the temprature and it will use the air con system in the background as and when it needs to maintain that temprature. Pressing ECON would stop the a/c cutting in. Climatronic. I think thats what they called it back in the day. Geeky fact alert but early MK5 golfs and passats of that era had ECON buttons, but the later ones had an A/C button which is the other way about. So it actually confused a lot of people too.
