All gather and cheer for this man who is keeping the entire UK economy afloat all by himself with his massive overspending tendencies.... Even the current government can't counter his efforts.
Before (regularly) watching High Peak Autos, I always thought used car salespeople were, well, always out to sell dodgy cars with the absolute minimum spend/effort/consideration and effectively screwing the next unlikely punter who comes along next. Well I was completely wrong there and I hope there are plenty more like Matt out there (where exactly??) ! Matt has also restored my faith in humanity as clearly it's not just a business to him. Can't wait to see what he does in 2025. oh I do like the S5 too! And one other thing, please please please join Bluesky! all the best Rob
Thanks for the vlog I had a misfortune, I was diagnsed with ovariScn cncer. I also created a channel and am trying to move in that direction, but so far not very successful(
Love how you sort everything down to the very last detail regardless of cost, nothing is left to chance and not a single corner is cut getting a vehicle ready for sale. In it's new state of totally sorted condition it's an absolute bargain Matt 👍
This is due to most if not all costs being paid for by views. It's unusual for a dealer to do all the work needed as it would eat into profit. Matt can massively overspend almost every time as he recoups the cost from TH-cam.
I've had numerous dents removed over the years and they usually plug the holes with rubber grommets afterwards to prevent any corrosion issues. Ultimately there's no other way of getting to the dents if they can't get behind the panel so a small price to pay.
I love these cars too, had an ‘06 V8 S4 cab, ‘11 3.0T S5 Cab and currently an ‘18 S5 Cab, V8 was the best sound hands down but gets blown away by the V6’s performance wise. Well done for saving one.
Nice video - bought the same colour combo a year ago but for £5K with a manual when prices were a little lower. Thoroughly enjoyed it, and got a few comments about it being a flash car despite a Corsa costing more. Enjoyed it over winter then got my money back in summer. They are such premium, quality cars for the money.
I love how you sort everything down to the very last detail. I don't think you should worry about overspending, this car was worth it, and some cars are worth saving.

Thats what mechanics told me about my car, its been garaged by previous owner, no rust, looks in great condition, got a major service done with premium oil and five months later apparently need a new turbo 👍🏻
Well done, i love the fact that you prep a car like its for yourself regardless of the cost 👍 I'm the same i like to get all the boxes ticked , Good job and good luck with the sale 🙏
Loved the snapshot of Prestige Wheels. A long time since I've lived in the UK, but the 'service provider' costs always sound like really good value. The only exception is 'mechanics.' Matt puts so much business their way, yet nearly always seems to end up paying top dollar.
Same here, I live in Australia now but I’m originally from that area, always makes me wince at how little it costs to do the work Matt has done on his cars compared to here. I keep an old 650i BMW in storage near Manchester Airport for my trips back, next time I think I’ll be dropping it at Prestige to get 2 of the wheels sorted if that’s all it costs!
Interesting video, enjoyed watching it. I used to own the exact same model (2010 black with oyster) and agree with most of your comments. I think where we differ is how the car drives, I thought the whole driving experience is “numb” and never felt that fast. My car replaced a E92 335i, that car was far superior dynamically. Ultimately that’s why I only kept it a year and replaced it with something far more fun. The comical fuel consumption didn’t help either! Enjoy the car though, they do look stunning.
I’m with you Matt, that gem of a car is worth a lot more than £7,750 that you have spent. And that doesn’t include the premium fuel that you put in! (Great minds think alike) Obviously not a cheap car to run, but it will pay back its next owner in pure driving joy. Hope you get an appreciative buyer, or will you keep it for a while?
A fullysorted V8 S5 for that money is doing well, You could have bought a worse sample and ended up spending way more. One to keep for a while until your heart settles on another bargain to overspend on. Have a great New Year Matt
Lovely car and well sorted now. Love the V8's too, although I could not afford to run one myself! My brother has a 2014 Porsche Cayenne Turbo, 4.8 V8 petrol twin turbo. It's a great car for the money. It has great performance, comfort and practicality. Still a beast even today.
That's one very nice car enjoyed the video as always ..Hope you and all of your family have had a great Christmas and I hope you have an even better 2025 all the best Matt
So..a smidge over 8K when it's actually fully sorted, with the blind spot monitoring system fixed. I agree.. That's really not bad, for a great car. Well done.
Adaptive cruise control, parking sensors all round, blind spot assist , great colour, its a great spec i had a 2.0TFSI quattro a couple years back, theyre lovely cars. Shame about the hole thats been drilled into the door shut that is just incredibly strange to me but a brilliant car for the money
Bought one these few years back for 6.5k 96k miles, only kept for year but was great car in manual with custom exhaust sounding epic👌 few minor prob otherwise great car.
Always loved the lines on this Audi when they first entered the market . The guys that have brought it back too a brilliant condition need alot off praise 🙏. And thanks for the GIN necking it now 🤣. Jimmy the drunk Majic man , all the best for the New Year Mat great working with you 👍👍👍👍👍
3:30 thank you for opening the door for me to reel off my favourite Rihanna fact. The verse in the song SOS is nothing more than a list of 80's song titles. There's a video of the songwriter talking about it which is easily findable.
I think that you got yourself a great deal. Locally, I can only find a 2011 with 132 000 KM, Manual, Coupe for 18 000$ CAD which is roughly £10 000! If the steering wheel was on the proper side, you could make some serious coin selling it over here! This car does seem to be a keeper. A few things do go wrong, but no turbo or supercharger to worry about! Enjoy the car!
Meh. Rubber bung or no I really would suggest making sure it's been slathered with your anti-rust treatmentof choice. But enough nit-pickery - what a fabulous enviable car....@@HighPeakAutos
We've heard so much about Prestige wheels, so getting a peep was lovely. I'm not that much into Audi, but I'll admit that this one is lovely (to watch and listen to)
Lovely car that is and your right about the sound of a V8. They sound far better than any other. A V12 sounds too stressed out and a 4 pot is just dire,though I do like a good 6 pot. 😁
Really nice S5. If it's anything like the Mk2 TT of the same era, the window regulators wouldn't be worn - the cables would be rusted and frayed (hence the crunching noise as the cables go around the pulleys) because Audi had the great idea of putting unprotected steel cables in the door where it's nice and damp.
I have tried to have minor dents "popped" on my previous cars but the prices quoted were always WAY more than your £45 even though the back of the panels were fully accessible. Hold and cherish your dents guy (did you remember to send him a Christmas card ?).
@@stephencollins7714 I have never seen that before! ,no way would I let them drill my car.I had a dent on my car that couldn't be accessed, & they used the hot glue method to take it out.

Love the deep sound of the V8 just wish mine sounded like that 😅 I can see your starting to become a audi fan now with the S cars when you buying a S8 I wonder with that V10
I'm not a fan of Audi's "chav range" but you have to take your hat off to the care and detail Matt goes into to get this to a position where it can be put up for sale. I'm sure a guy with grey tracksuit trousers is going to love this.
Great work again and the superlative on eating oneself as a chocolate bar is priceless ! 🙊 just needs a special number plate and many years left of exciting driving! 😎

What a car Something Special Absolutely awesome it's good to see something different and rare put back on the road. The question I have is Are you going to keep it Are you going to sell it . I think the interest in that car will be High.
This is just one beautiful car and great to see that the windows haven't had some awful after market tint put on them. The exterior colour is great and with the light leather interior rather than the traditional black, it looks stunning. This is a keeper.
Great! The A5 for this gen IMO will be desired classics. I was in a awe when debuted and dare to say has aged wonderfully and is better looking than the BMW E92.
Lovely car, great video. I love the sound of a V8 engine too. Here in London, you pay for the privilege of parking on the street you live on. Lambeth council charge you for the amount of emissiions your car gives out. BUT the car is parked. £237 a year to be able to park my BMW 520D MHT MSport on my road. I would love to own a V8 but the costs rocket to ridiculous prices. They are trying to get us out of our cars, and on to buses and trains which are packed or quite often not running.
Indeed they are! And one day perhaps even by 2030 if the WEF get their way and Govts cave in.. 'You will own nothing and be happy'! And have you heard of 15 minute cities, you won't being on buses nor trains, neither.
Nice video and a nice car. This yard meanwhile is definitely not a nice place for filming...and sorry Matt, but the "noise" of the V8 is hard to hear when you are insider the car and talking...maybe next time put a GoPro near the exhaust. And the driver side window of your pefectly cleaned car was pretty dirty which permanently caught my eye...
Good afternoon Mat really enjoyed this video the car looks fab and think it will sell quickly and you should make a few quid …..cheers Phil from Newark
I had the same fuel flap actuator issue on my vw golf, it would take 2 or 3 clicks of the remote before opening which didn’t bother me until I heard it can lock altogether and then your in a world of 💩, so then I had it replaced
Hi Matt. Nice looking car, but it's made me think. You obviously use your local garage for servicing, but a lot of 'experts' will tell you that a car like this should only be touched by a dealer or marque specialist. What are your thoughts on this as both an owner and a dealer? What do you think if a car like this comes to you with a full history, but done by an independent? Is it worth less? My experience with main dealers is (generally) that they follow the schedule they're given by the manufacturer, whether it's the best option, or appropriate or not. Independent marque experts are fine, if you have access to one, but is it worth travelling? I have a trusted independent who is a mechanic (as opposed to a fitter) who understands the basics and deals with them appropriately, discussing the options with me. As a result, filters tend to be changed more regularly. Interested to hear your views. Thanks.
Lovely motor . I live in Uganda and Audi`s are becoming more popular . Toyota still have the lions share . Cheap spare parts . Had 2 Subarus . Fantastic , everything assembled in Japan . Be good if you could get a Subaru and do a video.
Been looking to buy an S5 for a few weeks now. Has to be a manual for me though. Unfortunately not many about. Purchasing yours Matt would've been ideal as you're about 45 mins from me. As usual I'll end up buying one from 200 miles away.
All gather and cheer for this man who is keeping the entire UK economy afloat all by himself with his massive overspending tendencies.... Even the current government can't counter his efforts.
Much better for the environment to keep existing cars on the road than buying a brand new electric car!!!!!

@@jason-mWell the fuel cost is far worse but once you feel that V8 pull, it's all forgotten.

Great looking car. My only concern would be the dent removal company drilling into the bodywork inside the door to access the rear quarter dent. 12:09
I've had numerous dents removed over the years and they usually plug the holes with rubber grommets afterwards to prevent any corrosion issues. Ultimately there's no other way of getting to the dents if they can't get behind the panel so a small price to pay.
£7,750 is a bargain for this car. Your desire to get cars back to, or as close as possible, to their best is to be applauded.

My experience with main dealers is (generally) that they follow the schedule they're given by the manufacturer, whether it's the best option, or appropriate or not. Independent marque experts are fine, if you have access to one, but is it worth travelling? I have a trusted independent who is a mechanic (as opposed to a fitter) who understands the basics and deals with them appropriately, discussing the options with me. As a result, filters tend to be changed more regularly.
Interested to hear your views. Thanks.
My favorite videos when you overspend 💙
Lovely motor . I live in Uganda and Audi`s are becoming more popular . Toyota still have the lions share . Cheap spare parts . Had 2 Subarus . Fantastic , everything assembled in Japan . Be good if you could get a Subaru and do a video.
Great video, thank you mate. Mat sale some of your cars and keep this Audi! That car make a smile on your face 😉 all the best!
Superb. First class. Very Partridge 😂 Lovely motor!
great video turned out beautiful car
Been looking to buy an S5 for a few weeks now. Has to be a manual for me though. Unfortunately not many about. Purchasing yours Matt would've been ideal as you're about 45 mins from me. As usual I'll end up buying one from 200 miles away.
That Audi is likely worth more than City's squad! 😜 UTFT💙💙💙
😂😂Let's not get ahead of ourselves now. We can still win the league
We'll see you in the national league north 🤣
This is a very nice car Matt.
As usual you’ve made a good car even better, well done❤.
Thank you!
We need some Merch with ‘I’ve massively over spent’ on it.
The S5 Coupe is such a gorgeous looking car, and you now have one the best in the country. Congratulations ❤👍🏾👏🏾👌🏾😅
Brilliant video
Lovely looking powerful motor like the way you always get everything sorted before moving it on
Honestly, this video brightened my mood!
