A2 Abt for sale

[Ned]

Hi guys ( and gals !),

 

my A2 is looking for a new home. Bought second hand from Audi Cadolzburg in 2003, this 2002 model has 226kkm, skimmed cylinder head after coolant problem and FSH. It has lived with us in Toulouse on French plates but we are now going back to UK. Panorama roof and Abt. No idea how much it is worth, nor how to find new owner, but rare car and sorry to say goodbye. Silver, 2 sets of tyres. Nedglobal@icloud.com

Morning, Ned!

 

Wait a minute... You like your A2 but you're going back to the UK - and presumably don't want to drive a LHD vehicle there? I'm just after reading that a forum member has an acquaintance who owns a RHD A2 which his wife doesn't like much.

 

Obvious solution: Why don't you swap?

Hi and thanks for your reply. However, I don't think the logistics are feasible. I was hoping that because it is a rare ABT version that someone in Germany would want to take it back home. I notice that there seems to be little interest in the a2's for sale on this site so maybe I have got it wrong that a club member would be interested. Thanks for the suggestion anyway  ?

errr... there's quite a bit of interest, it's just in the basar, which is where this should be. 

 

Would also help if you have some pics and TBH, we should also have a price...

Hello again, 

ok, thanks for the advice. Here are some photos and more history. No accident damage, only new panorama roof following stone damage by truck. Slight crease in right side rear door when a dog ran into it while parked ! Front plastic spoiler torn by low kerb. 2nd set of tyres are Audi lo-profile. Price ? How about €2250. What is TBH ?

thanks,

Ned

Hihi, den hat Abt wg. der Straßenlage mit Beton ausgegossen. Für die 1.505kg Gesamtgewicht brauchts dann auch den Chip...

[ttplayer]

Ich finde den Klasse. Da kann man vom Kofferraumboden essen ...... man findet nämlich immer was. Was eine verranzte Karre.

My wife and me are interested. I've send you an email, asking for your phone number, that I can call you after work.

Oops...not too obvious if browsing with the mobile. Anyhow, it's just a regular A2 with an Abt tuning and sticker and a bit heavy as written in the papers.

 

For a car used in Toulouse it's in surprisingly good shape. Apparently it wasn't parked that often in the inner city.

[Frickler]

I've talked to the owner and will probably to see it

...and you won't send any money to a Western Union account beforehand, do you?
