Hello,
I'm looking to purchase an A5 coupe, 3.0 tdi with a manual gearbox ideally although I'd be happy with the automatic if recommended. I average around 10k miles a year but am just looking for something I can enjoy driving.
Currently I drive a 2007 Bmw 530D m sport with the automatic gearbox but after driving this for the last 6 years, owning bmw's my entire life and after test driving an 3.0 tdi Audi I'd like to give an A5 a whirl.
I'm looking for some buying advice as the market seems flooded with different spec'd A5's, some with full or half leather, others with different types of audio options. The audio part completely confuses me as there seem to be 3 options as far as i can see from briefly shopping around. Service history is a must although im not really fussy on colours however i'd like to avoid red or grey cars and mileage of no more than 160,000 as I know these cars are good for it. My budget is £5000 and I'm UK based. Judging by my budget Im assuming I could pick up a decent early example.
What do you guys recommend I look for and also watch out for when shopping?
Thank you in advance,
Rupert.
