So, a friend of mine is selling his 2007 Audi A6 estate, its the quattro se model and has been very well looked after. Only him and his uncle have been owners. It has done 106,000 miles and has a full service history, he wants £5000 for it. It would be perfect for camping and biking trips away and if I was to buy it would plan on keeping it for a good few years. However, is the Diesel car market going to go up in smoke over the next few years?

I’d say that car will be great for a few years, then a good deal in a diesel scrappage scheme.

Annual mileage?

Might be a good time to buy if you had a crystal ball as they are pretty cheap at the moment.

Annual mileage at the moment around 10,000 though likely to increase over the next few years; Probably to around 15,000

Which engine / spec ? ( se, sline etc )
£5000 is prob a tad overpriced, but the knowledge of knowing the history is good, not sure they’d get 5000 for it...
Offer 4 and see what he says ? What’s the value on we buy any car out of interest?? Not much I’d imagine

Has it had a new clutch or turbo yet?

My 2.7 tdi Avant Quattro was valued at £7k trade in in 2014. It had 110k miles and felt like a new car. I should have kept it. It was an SE with leather interior and auto with paddles.
What engine does it have ? You can have it serviced at a non dealer specialist.
It could be a bargain, go and see it. Parking sensors are very useful as its a big car esp in a multi story car park. It suits auto box well. I drove mine up and down UK and Europe a lot hence mileage. The boot isn’t as big as some others but its superbly comfortable for 4 adults
Diesel will be a problem if you want to drive it into major cities, eg London etc. Otherwise IMHO you’ll be fine.

Webuyanycar value it at £4000...
It's the 3.0 SE Quattro model, automatic with paddles. I've been in it plenty of times and trust him not to sell a piece of junk (He's pretty clued up with cars).
Will neer be driven into London, in fact I'll probably never drive into a city centre again.

Negotiate price down - £4k tops; aim for £3.5k - then buy.
