C7s hitting CarGiant

[Forkit]

Interesting to see non-Audi prices for used C7's.

Paid a bit more than £19,999 for my 2012 S-Line but I suppose the warranty has to be worth something....

nasty rusty calipers, leather tired, it's had a hard 44000, not my cuppa tea.

[Forkit]

Didn't look that closely, supposed to be working....

[Tripletrouble]

Not that great, price wise. Good to see used values holding up quite well.

[Guest 2]

Definitely had a hard life, wouldn't buy from a supermarket for any brand!

[ScottyA6]

To be honest badly prepared and badly presented doesn't help its case ! the interior wipe down hadn't even dried when they took those photos. The fact that the alloys look in good nick and more so that all too easily dented and scratched Aluminium centre console looks in decent order says to me someone probably took a care with it.

[neilos100]

Yep...looks fine to me....leather is still wet so photos look carp...I'd buy it!

Not my bag but I've been to cargaint many times and you can get some good deals there. And believe me if they don't have to do anything to the car they won't, so all they do is a quick clean up and out it goes to the massive forcourt type lock ups which they have. Their turn over of cars is massive you can phone up about a car and then phone back within the hour and it will be sold trust me.
The A6 looks ok as said the wheels looks ok and can't see any body marks

Purchased my A4 B8 from cargiant and have no complaints. Would happily buy there again.

Given the age and mileage it has probably spent most of its life on the motorway. The last service was at 27k so it must have had one before that. With 44k on the clock it must be due another.

They don't always service them cos the lease people like to spend as little money as possible. That's one of the things you have to be careful of when buying from them and their is no price haggle either. You pay that price or you don't buy the car plus you have to pay £99 for their paper work on top
Also for a extra 6k you can buy a brand new one and if you shop about through the Audi dealers I'm sure your get a ex demo somewhere in the middle with less than half that mileage

[man le-mans]

Anyway I think that one is over priced from a car supermarket

[Mike41]

Yes, given the 6K difference on a brand new one (assuming that figure is right - sound about right if buying from dtd etc) I wouldn't consider it at all. I do hope the leather doesn't look that tired on my car in two year's time !

Also, we went to Car Giant a couple of years ago when looking for my wife's car. We didn't buy anything there (bought a new ix35 in the end) and the Audis in particular looked really tired with lots of chips on the paintwork. I wonder if due to the volume, they spend less time considering which cars to purchase? I could imagine a team of buyers that essentially buy from auction according to spec and a set of rules rather than having the freedom to make a possible better decisions that a smaller garage might have. (That's just wild speculation though and so probably wrong!).

Also, has anyone every tried to haggle there?

[man le-mans]

They won't haggle and just a quick look I found these on Audi website RegisteredApr 2012Mileage24,100*TransmissionManualFuel typeDieselExteriorIce SilverInteriorBlack 22500 also RegisteredMay 2013Mileage4,816*TransmissionManualFuel typeDieselExteriorPhantom BlackInteriorBlack 24980 both at Audi.
that make you think why would you buy that from them at that price
yes I have bought cars from them and you can get a good deal you just need to look about.
It's not a nice flash show room and takes forever to go thr their system so I would buy from Audi any day given what they want for it
