What do you think that will sell for?

I spent £1200 this week on a reconditioned auto gearbox for our shopping car (96/P Audi A4 estate)

Judging by some of the ones about to end £900-£1500ish?

Lots of car for the money...

Certainly is, looks good. Only thing in favour of our Audi is that it's rust free

Kiss of death

The Mondeo I owned back in 2002 is still going strong with my father-in-law at the helm. Its on its way to 190,000 miles and has never broken down once, starts immediately every time, ticks over beautifully and the steering and gear change is as smooth as ever. :bannana:

Get ready for the phonecall from your F-in-L saying the things up the junction!

Thanks, I'll certainly keep an eye on that one and I even don't mind the white.

I quite fancy a C Class Estate or A4 Touring diesel but the Audi's are slightly cheaper and imo they drive better too*.

*having bought an A4 2.8 Quattro tip auto over a C280 Sport because the Audi had a much lighter and more lively throttle response. Mind you I'm after a motorway banger, not a nice luxury sports saloon.

Funny you should say that, my wife was talking yesterday about the good throttle response on our A4 compared to other autos. she's driven.
