I have been offered a friend's ex-company A4 Avant, Dec 04, 1.9 Diesel, manual, 90,000 miles. It's the Sport version with all the toys and leather interior - very smart car but they want £11k for it. From my research on the web this seems about £2k too much. Am I right?

Looks too expensive for pre-facelift model. You could look at post 2005 model for same money. A4's really do hold their values but it makes no sense paying too much for an older model. Haggle hard or keep looking for a clean one owner fAsh car. Seems to be a fair few at end of their 3 year leases filtering into market place.

There's nothing with that mileage on the Audi approved site, but Autotrader has cars with similar mileages around the same price, although generally from traders so there would be some kind of warranty.
If you know the car and it's well looked after, very good nick etc then the price is not out of court.
Is your friend OK about you having the car - it can get awkward if probs develop later?

Yes he's happy about me having the car but I note your comment about any effect on our friendship if it develops problems later. Just seems like a high price for a car with such a high mileage. Thanks.

In absolute terms, it is.
You could buy a nearly new Mondeo for similar money.

I would say this is steep, I sold a near identical A4 Aant 12 months ago, also immaculate with only 46K for £12K, so I would say £9.5K absolute tops assuming it is truly perfect.

Apparently they are going to send it to auction where they will get - what £8000 ish to allow for a dealer to mark it up and sell it retail for £9500? Would have been better to sell it to me for £8500 and save themselves the admin.

They're dearer than that on AutoTrader.
Find out when it's being auctioned and go and try to buy it. A friend of mine did this a couple of years and the car was at the price he wanted to pay 2nd bid and it went for a grand more (and that was on a much cheaper car).
