I still think this generation of A4's aged quite well.
Yeh they looked boring then and boring now
@@spingybingy5610 sure but not old
@@ralfulrich6254 sure, but that's not because the design is somewhat youthful, but rather because Audi has been lazy and not bothered about changing the design
@@sha22276 Its just a more expensive passat
@@Ze_Hans hasn't been for a while.
Put it up for 7k and accept offers they'll think they've got a bargain, anyway I'm the 64 year old who bought that lovely Saab 93 from you last November , I've put 4k trouble free miles on it since then , I say trouble free , 2 weeks ago someone took the front bumper off slightly and scuffed it up in my works car park , no note left , nobody owned up so was left to get it repaired myself, not a happy chappy , anyway looks as good as new now and it not full of werthers original wrappers either , still mint inside , very happy with it .
6 to 7k for a 13yr old basic spec A4 that's had a hard life? The world has gone mad 😂
Please never get in the car sales industry
It's not even the face-lift model
In the motor trade Matt a profit is a profit. Better than a loss mate 👍🏻
That's true in any trade but you still can't help but think that you could've used your time and effort better for more profit..
Not really as he sells with warranty 😂
Plus his overheads, and his time. Barely breaking even on this one!

Matt you must be the only car dealer in the UK that go to the lengths you do to prepare a car. Credit to you. I bought an Audi A4 from a local dealer a month ago and driven it once not seen it since. It had no coolant in it after getting it home realising that the heaters didn't work and after filling it up it all disappears shortly after. You'd think they'd at least check the basics before the car leaving.
If nothing else, this makes me want to check your stock first, next time I need a car. Nobody else is this thorough with the prep work.
He has stock he has had for 6 months plus
Get down to see him and offer him what he paid for it ,to relieve him of such old stock lol
2011 is right in the middle of timing chain and pistol oil rings issues for TFSi petrol engines.
Matt's new purchase checklist:
Hope and expectation of profit: check.
Wonder Grip van: check.
Needs a clean: check.
Bosch wiper blades: DON'T KNOW!
Service history: check.
Massively overspent: Of course.
It looks an amazing car now, Matt. You done good.
Don't forget the obligatory new set of plates
Nothing screams "3 year PCP" louder than a white Audi.
Mercedes A class
BMW 1 Series
21 year old female , fake tan ,fake nails, fake everything , look at me i drive white audi a1 on pcp

I genuinely dont think your local garage does you any real favours considering how much you spend with them. Always seems pricey to me. But you are right, its really not worth the work for that margin. You could have possibly traded it on for a few quid and saved the hassle. Great video as always Matt.
@@christopherludlam1602 Nearly $2000.00 for all that work ain't cheap.
@@christopherludlam1602can’t agree more, these prices are a steal for us in Oz😡😡😡
Completely agree, even the little things.. £8.50 for a sump plug! What?!
I am 66 and you can refer to me as " mature" but I prefer the term " well seasoned "..like an old whisky barrel and I won't contact my solicitor 😅
I've sold two really good condition vehicles to Matt. I'm 69 years old. GOK how he would describe me 😊
Your a codger...
Or mature like a fine cheese and smelly with it
Matt has dementia, he told us that mop story already. 😂
The problem with the water in the boot might be an issue Matt and of course there is those mats to give it aa lift when you open a door. Some you wins some you lose. Tha amount of work you put into these cars is remarkable and highly commendable.
Blocked drain hole gummed up with all the leaves from being parked under a tree?
@@paultasker7788Either that or the boot seal is leaking. Should have been sorted.
People buy with confidence from you Matt , You do a good job & you can sleep @ night . 😊
As a car guy it always makes me sad when I see a car in this state. These kind of owners treat their cars like a throwaway commodity. 😞
Really ran that AUDI on. Shoe string.
Hate to burst your bubble but cars, just like dishwashers and fridges, are disposable appliance mate. Especially a forgettable A4 toaster.
@@CathodeRayNipplez well its white like most fridges
Audi did that before the owners did
shows some have no money or sense, buy a cheaper model then fail to keep it to a minimum standard, just helps sends it to the tip quicker which doesnt help anyone
Being a b8 a4 owner i would say the damp boot will be the rear lights seal which has failed letting water in and luckily all your doors opened 😂 the door actuators are made of chocolate on these
10:48 Incidentally, the term "limousine" in Germany commonly referred to as "sedan/saloon."
The F-segment 'limos' with extended wheelbase and stretched bodywork we all know and love are called "Oberklasse."
Love these regular posts. Top geezer you are mate
Great that Matt, enjoyed it, on a side note your suggestion of 22 degrees and the auto setting absolutely works! Fantastic, cheers for that 👍
Nice to see a garage like yourself take a car on and make it great for a customer despite a profit sacrifice. Things like this make driving more eco friendly, not necessarily electric cars. Keeping good cars on the road and getting more life out of cars that already exist is the way to go. Nice video as always
Every video you put out does your business immense good in my opinion. Your commitment to getting your cars to forecourt condition is nothing short of exemplary. Anyone who buys from you is assured of owning a vehicle in the best condition possible.
The wheels off my filing cabinet. Keep up the good work. Great videos!
on the bright side matt you've put a nice car back on the road..and whoever buys it will I'm sure will give you a glowing recommendation... thanks for another great video 👍👍👍
Since watching your excellent car videos, I have never heard of so many tyre brands, that I have never heard of.
Profit is profit Matt. Good job you didn’t throw any genuine carpet mats in (or any at all). Great video as always. 😊
Matt another very good video .if ever I was going to change my car I would definitely be coming to your place you go above and beyond
You're cured. Nice to see the 9ld Matt back. Hope the customer appreciates the fully sorted car they buy. Hope that you sell lots of cars like that.
Love it Matt! Not the car, just your drive to make cars look good again. Some traders would clean it and sell it as is for 5k (and probably be knocked down on price). But your cars look good, they sell themselves. Kudos to you Matt. You think of the car before profit and that's rare.
It certainly shows where the money was spent Matt, this Audi A4 looked stunning at the end of the video.
Once again, you’ve made a car the best it can realistically be, it’s a pity you’re not going to make much profit after all of your effort ❤.
Rent/buy a unit and put a Mechanic on wages
Thanks for the review Matt.
you win some you lose some. im sure all your customers can be grateful of the work you do on prepping cars for them because then you have zero come backs! how i wish you had a dealership in South Africa you would be very very rich😁🤑
I remember when the first A4’s came out in 1995 with a lovely 20v engine a really nice car to drive. My employer at the time put the lowly 1.6 A4 on the list!
It was gutless, but it took the miles well, many going over 100k. Galvanised so the body lasted well. 🇩🇪
You do the right thing fair play to you videos are awesome 👌
Plus the mats!! Nice vid, stay positive young man 😀
I had one of these for roughly 10 years and moved it on after it doing 180k miles, (1.8tfsi) and that had a timing chain. Was a pretty good car, so good I bought another one but a higher spec diesel quattro.
Love your video's Matt, And a profit is a profit !!!
Oh dear. Never mind. Thanks for all your efforts Matt, entertaining as ever👍
Hi matt even though there isn't that much profit in the audi someone will buy it and because of the way you present your cars it will made that person happy and if they know someone who wants a new car tell them about highpeak autos and you know nothing travels faster, and great customer service hopeyou are well best wishes ian
Nothing like a well looked after car tyres must of cost a fiver a set
I'm from Walsall and i appreciated that alliteration 👍
I think he said Warsaw, Poland 😅
Hi matt great job on the audi, you always do a great job on your car's good luck in saleing it from marty in Belfast northern Ireland God bless
My brother is in Warsaw for a trip. I very much appreciated the alliteration.
I have a 2012 facelifted A4, a really comfy and sporty sedan. Beige leather interior with bang & olufsen speakers, just great.
Well done on another salvage job , I would have advertised is for 6495 as I agree I think it’s a well sorted car now
Solid use of "Valance".
Lovely stuff.
As Alan Partridge said…the valance the skirt bit around the bottom of the bed😂
@@danmiddlehurst6462 Dan!! Dan!!
The "Ecsta" tyre is a Kumho model, so probably decent.
Anyone else hear "hello darkness my old friend" playing on the last zoom in..?
Matt still better profit then full week of hard work in warehouse 👀
Great video HPA, sorry Matt that wasn't a great profit,swings and roundabouts I suppose, keep your chin up,love the fresh prince quote,made me lol 🤣👍👌
Enjoying the videos on the channel 👍👍👍
When you first looked at the back end and the rear window was misted up that was a sign of a damp problem…not always but a red flag.
Which he's 'forgotten' about.
Nice choice of watch. The Explorer II is always understated.
someone always beats me to the sponsorblock segment
If I was in UK I would buy that Audi... And as someone already mentioned, a profit is a profit, so well done Matt . :)
As always, doing good work for the people
Hindsight is 20/20 nobody can know everything for sure when it comes to cars. If I had 6k I'd buy it in heartbeat. I think it's a delightful car, love this era of Audis and to me very elegant.
Well ok, I’ll watch it, uploaded 3 seconds ago 😂 I’m not a fanboy 😂😂😂
Another entertaining vid, as usual. Perhaps you could have asked more for it Matt, like 6,500. What car are you initially driving? The C pillar, (or is it the B pillar) is massive.
Well done Matt!!!
Another one saved nice one matt 👏👍
Lovely little Partridge reference early
I think £4000 is quiet expensive
Bought s line version more than a year ago 3200£
look at mileage
@@xTurtleOWyeah it's got a wank engine literally £3750 car perfect
@@tompitbike don't rate the 2L petrol?
its a shitty petrol @@xTurtleOW
I was thinking that. There’s is a real issue in the used market if any car north of 13 yo is still being sold for £4-6k
every time i watch one of these videos i cross my fingers and hope that you didn’t massively overspent👍🔥
You've given that car a new lease of life and made a small profit. Win win.
I noticed an audi a4 on autotrader for 3k whilst watching this and I was like wow this looks so similar....and then...sadness :(
Another good video Matt 🚗🚙🚘👏👏👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Sorry it didn't work better for you Tin Tin - I could see your quiff dropping as you went through the bills. Better luck next time.
Yes the locks are another problem BUT you can repair them with no extra parts needed. The locking mechanism you need to strip down and clean the motor windings. The brushes put a coating on the little motors and a good clean up with wire wool sorts the problem.
8:44 nice! An aquarium in the boot
Water in the boot mould and filthy not a good start but another great car now Matt
All the condensation on the back window would explain the mould and smell etc
Tiny profit but huge satisfaction at a job well done? Maybe?! Sadly you can’t pay your bills with satisfaction. 😆 Another properly sorted car though, Matt. Great work.
I was juuuust looking at an A4 , nice!
All I'm thinking as you go round is 'new tyres' and 'Jimmy the magician'. Then you opened the doors.. Well spent rejuvenation Matt. £6899 price all day long .I know you just want rid and to claim back the VAT but this is a quality motor, you can punt😉,
I had that Audi A4 from 2011, 2.0 litre TDI. Was fun to drive and turned out to be better than the A6 I exchanged it for.
This exact one or one like it?
@@ellissamsontech Well not the actual car depicted lol, but it was in black with the same exterior and interior. The handling felt like a BMW M5 of which I drove also for a month. The A6 however was a huge disappointment.
I just recently sold my 08 2.0tdi that's been a great car for 240k and it's still on the road. If properly looked after, those will just keep going and going. And in misano red was still a head turner despite it's age :)
THE WHEELS OFF MY FILING CABINET!! bloody excellent Matt 😂😂😂😂😂🎉
Should put new tyres on the rear after 30 years in the tyre game new tyres should be fitted to the rear of the vehicle prevents oversteer with a front wheel drive Michelin have a video about new on the front vs new on the rear in the wet you wouldn’t believe the results 👍keep up the good work
As someone who had a few Audi's from this era I will say they are great cars, until the timingchains fail that is, then they are ready for the scrapper, so far every Audi I've had ended with stretched timingchains at around 230.000km. Never had the burning oil that they are known for but that is still a running car.
Header tank level 😂😂😂 come on Matt 12:14
Water leak is possibly tail lights, happened to mine. Don't worry about oil consumption issues, if it's made it to 13 year old then it's fine.
Is it me or are you back in good step Lad?
Back to the videos we all love, missing the Reno channel updates though. Keep ya self going again as is good for you.
It's looks like a new car now!. Great in the white colour. It will prove a real bargain for someone. Ideal as a smart runabout 👍
Another brilliant Video Matt. I currently have a 2L diesel A4. As a car its fantastic, hasnt put a foot wrong but I find that it has zero personality at all.
B8 or B9?
@@akj2387 B8 S Line
You forgot to say "I've massively overspent"
On the plus side the Audi kept a number of your local garages busy 😂
Can't win em all,hope your next car makes up for it.
Great video... still a profit though, every little helps as they say.
Matt I know plates and buffing are something of a thing for you😜 Original plates always a good idea as indicates it hasn't had a bump.
How about replacing the rusty screws and adding the plates to your buffing rota?
Maybe not much profit but that person who buys it knows it’s a good motor and people recommend other people knowing they are going to get a good car from you…
I think your reputation will win in the end here
If I was looking for a car I’d look on your site and trust you and I live in Northern Ireland!!
Described as a clean away from being a pitched car, not sure what that means, but turns out it wasn’t that good. Well done as always on the good job you do Matt
im 22 and would happily drive an audi a4. audi's to me are elegant and make perfect sense. i wouldn't go for the se model though as you miss out on a few things.
The way I look at it:
7,5% profit in around 4 weeks... that's 90% for a year
Compare it to what you get in a bank...
Not bad 😀
Reckon Matt doesn't overspend on cleaning it up it's the initial buy price that seems to get him
Used car prices are crazy post covid. I bought an 100k L reg (similarly aged 12-13 years old) Audi 80 2.0 in early 06 for £500.
Ok grandad
ECSTA is a model of Kumho tires.
The famous scenic Smithy Lane :-)
With 60k that’s a smashing ride , a car that’s actually worth the money.
Hi Matt cracking podcast as usual the A4 was ran on a shoestring budget ashame really
This motor 'love resurrection' policy makes interesting viewing :).
I had a very early 2008 Audi a4 with the 1.8T and it had 160,000 miles, burnt oil fairly well. Didn’t get more than like 20mph, only had the car about 5 weeks was an absolute dog. I would love another in good condition one day.
You mentioning Charles Dance makes me think of him dancing in Ali G 😂 That was hilarious. Loved him in GoT obviously!
That´s our Matt, having a crack at every car he buys, just trying to get ahead. Olé!
