Default Audi A2 - buy online?

Hi all,

Looking for an Audi A2 for the other half. 1.6 diesel sport... Been into the local dealers and they will not negotiate on price. Always a good way to drive off customers!

So can anyone recommend a dealer that would, or anyone know of any internet showrooms that are reliable?

Cheers guys

or
drivethedeal

only £900ish off the A2, but that's still £900 in your pocket not the dealers.
I bought my Audi through broker4cars - no problems.

I thought that the 90bhp diesel was still a 1.4 3 cylinder and its the FSI petrol that got the 1.6 in sport trim ?

I was looking very seriously at A2's for retired parents and ended up getting a Skoda Fabia in the end as the Audi dealers weren't very flexible,even on used A2 TDis.
Got a demo Fabia in the end - solid, rock steady, well made,economical and quick.
Resale is now getting pretty good.

... which is why I gave up the idea of getting a used A2 Tdi in favour of a nearly new Fabia for less money. The A2 is a nicely designed 'different' car with high quality materials but unless you are doing a very big annual mileage to justify the potential 60-70mpg (rather than 50) I think that the Fabia is a better all-rounder. (Demo 100bhp Elegance £10k, new 130bhp vRS £12k)

I had the A2 1.4 TDI for a few days and only averaged 30 something mpg.

Hence why I'm entirely happy with my Fabia

Could always get the 1.4 TDI Fabia?

Wink A2

Would you buy a used one? I had one new and lost a £4500 on it when I sold it with 1200 miles on it 9 months later.

In fact I still have the No plate if your interested. A2 AU0

Cheers

Dave
