Description
Please note - this is a Japanese import car. I've always found Admiral to be good for covering it at the same price as a UK car. It's been in the UK just over 12 months in my ownership and has been extensively maintained throughout.
Car is in fantastic shape - especially mechanically, but I want to go back to an SUV and I've already bought the replacement. Not interested in swaps or part exchanges.
Has pan roof, adaptive cruise (rare on this age of A7), rear climate controls and heated seats, and rear camera (also can be rare on these) from the main add-on extras.
2 Keys.
In my ownership since import 12 months ago.
Just been MOT'd and serviced at the start of July with lots of other work to keep ahead of maintenance (4 New Continental All-season tyres, front discs and pads, S-Tronix Gearbox Service, Auxiliary Belt and Tensioner, 5 Suspension Arms). Total service and MOT cost was just under 4k.
Jan/Feb time had the PCV, both main and auxiliary water pump and thermostat housing changed as they're known weak points on this engine, purely preventatively.
Aftermarket Veemann alloys in custom powder coated bronze with 10mm spacers front and rear
New rear brakes around 12 months ago, plus new front 6-7 weeks ago as detailed above
Some age related marks, but it's in fantastic condition for a 12 year old vehicle - as most Japanese import cars are.
Needs a driver's door central locking actuator - can be intermittent, could just be the wiring given it's not constant
No history from Japan, so I've tried to do as much preventative stuff for peace of mind as possible, but I just wanted to go back to an SUV for the higher ride, that's the only reason for sale.
Car is in Derbyshire. Private plate not included and will be removed before sale. Still in daily use and mileage will increase prior to sale for the next week or until I get the new one.
Price factors in the fact there's a few bits needed cosmetically and with the driver's door lock, but it's mechanically sound to the best of my knowledge, and I've already spent almost the full value of the sale on it to ensure it is.
