    Hi All, I am going to look at this car tomorrow http://www.carzone.ie/search/Audi/A4/1.8-T-AU/200914192378575/advert?channel=CARS and if I like it I will more then likely buy it. I want to get a trade in with my own car which is a 03 Mondeo 1.8L petrol 80K miles and only serviced 2 weeks ago (brake discs & pads changed). I am a bit clueless when it comes to buying cars so could someone tell me how much I should offer approx with the Mondeo?

    The NCT is up on my car and it is booked in but the earliest date they had was August so this may effect the value of my car, although I was told it should have no problems passing.

    Thanks for you help.

    Start with 6k and the Mondeo and go from there. There's a good chance they'll only offer you about 4k for it. I defo wouldn't be keen to give them more than 7k with it these days.

    Nice combination .....1.8 turbo petrol engine with an auto box - I reckon the dealer wont give you more than 5k for your mondeo though.

    I thought the A4 1.8T had 163bhp not 190bhp? Also afaik the S Line trim was only introduced with the facelifted model in 2005. Anyone confirm this?

    It does look very clean but is €13k still a bit expensive for a 5 year old one?

    I'll go with zuutroy's plan. Start with about €5k and don't go more than €7k. You're only going up one year!

    Yep works for me now too. Didn't work for hours as I kept checking it (even using different browsers!).

    Some have 190bhp. However, most of those were imports AFAIK.
    Mine is the 190bhp model.

    If the OP is interested, he can buy my 03 A4 1.8T. I'm looking to upscale too.

    I went out to look at the car today and was told that it had only being reduced from 15K to 13K this week so they didn't have much room to negotiate. He said he would take the mondeo and 10.5K for it:eek:LOL and that he valued the mondeo at 4.5k but was offering me last weeks price.

    I told him to give me a call if he is willing to accept 8K and the mondeo but I am not sure if that is even a good deal. There are a lot similar Audi's on the net so I should pick one up either way.

    No matter how bad a deal I think they're going to offer, they always manage to surprise me!
