    Hi folks looking for a bit of advice. I have a 2009 A6 TDIe SE with 12,000miles on it. I am looking to sell it and wondering what sort of money I should advertise it at. It is black with a full black leather interior, parking sensors, phone prep. I imported it from the UK. Any advice appreciated. It's cleared on Irish plates. Going to stick it up on the net over the weekend.
    I will give you 25K cash for the car if it is genuine

    ....fwiw, I now someone with one too, also 09, and ride quality is awful.

    As for changing the suspension......to what ? Is there a 'softer' set, OEM ?

    It seems there is. The e version of the car is lowered to aid aerodynamic efficiency so there would be the models with more standard ride height Id say which would possibly be a bit more comfortable.

    True but that said, this generation A6 has never been known for its ride comfort

    The poor ride is not really acceptable in these type of cars tbh. I was recently in a porsche 911 and it rode better than anything from audi on uneven roads with the exception of A8.

    Goin a bit off topic here i guess but some would say in order to keep up with BMW when it comes to handling, front wheel drive audi's would need to have a harsh ride. BMW's also have a rocky ride though so not sure what to make of it..

    Its odd. Ive never been in an E46 M3 but im told they ride better than the msport versions of the standard 3 series on large wheels. Are they just using overly hard suspension to create a sporty drive or what is going on

    This A6 version (manual e model) has sports suspension as standard. To keep the car lower and keeps its emissions under 140g. All other versions have normal suspension so you're right - it is a little firmer.

    Is that the se. I have a passat hiline which has the sport suspension and its terrible to drive. I bought an a8 in uk last year which is on air but i drove the normal one and it was very rough. I dont think the germans realise what the roads are like here and thats half the problem...

    Its the SE model alright. I took a drive in an A4 to see what it was like and they are pretty much the same with regards ride. I guess it must be the way the Audi's are set up. I must be too used to the Toyota set up.

    The new model avensis has the suspension heightened for this country for the rough roads. I wish audi and vw would listen to their irish customers

    So the normal car comes with the normal suspension, and the efficiency model comes with lowered suspension for improved aerodynamics.

    You have the choice between relative comfort and cheap road tax.

    Based on the buying trends of the Irish public, road tax rates have been far more important than driving dynamics in their choice of cars.

    Maybe the issue stems from the fact that Audi did listen to their customers....

    I see your point chris but the passat is 07 so the tax is nearly 600 p/a.

    I should have bought the normal car which was cheaper and not mind all my bling:):)
