Planning to buy a 2018 A7 55TFSI

[Maanu1141]

Hello guys ! In 4 days i m going to Germany to buy this car : https://suchen.mobile.de/fahrzeuge/...searchId=44c64a06-9d08-bf3d-0077-989b6878899b

What do you guys think ? Is the price good ? are there any known issues for 2018 models ? The car has been made on June 2018 and it has a full service history at Audi . I m planning to negotitate the price at around 59 000 . Is there something i should be aware of ? The dealer told me the front bumper and bonnet has been repainted ,the right headlight and the windshield has been changed because of the Autobahn rocks that fly into the car from other cars passing by . Any opinions on this ?

Headlight and windscreen replacement sounds excessive for stone chips on a fairly new car, but you don't know until you see.

Maybe ask for photos before the damage was repaired as it sounds more like a crash repair.

Windscreen replacement isn’t if there’s a lot of chips and it’s cost effective to replace the whole lot. I know at least two people who had them replaced from franchised dealers before they bought their cars

On its own I agree, but in the context of front end respray and headlight replacement all together, it sounds excessive to me.

I know of one person who bought an ex HP / PCP car that had scratches over the bonnet, replaced windscreen, chips on most panels and 3 kerbed alloys. They put it into a workshop to tart it up and it looks mint now. Granted he saw the car BEFORE the work was done, but it is known to happen. The doubt here is if you can get pictures of the “before” as well as the “after”

Guess so, the positive in the scenario above is that the dealer is up front with the repair works...

And some images he sent me yesterday . The car went for a complete detailing . He sent me like 30 photos and videos , but i guess i can t upload all of them here . Do you guys can see any difference on the repainted parts ? He also sent me detailed videos but i can t upload here.

Looks mint doesn't it. Every angle it looks like it has just rolled off the production line!

That s also what i was sayin' . Damn , i just can t wait to see it , it looks so insane from photos and videos

If you get it, make sure you post up some pics

Agree with the rest, it does look good! What's are the performance stats on the 55TFSI?

0-100 in 5.3 stock(340 hp ) , but got a friend with a custom exhaust and downpipe on a 55TFSI at 460 hp , and did 3.7 0-100 , which is more than enough for me
