Description
1998 Audi A4 Avant 2.4 V6 Automatic - Japanese Import
Very rare, low-mileage B5 A4 Avant finished in Ming Blue Pearl with the extremely rare blue velour interior, navy dashboard and matching trim. Currently showing approximately 71,000 km (44,000 miles).

The 2.4 V6 is smooth and suits the car extremely well, particularly on longer journeys. Being a Japanese-market car, the condition underneath is also considerably better than you would normally expect from a UK-market B5 of this age.
The car presents very well for a 28-year-old vehicle, although naturally there are some age-related marks and imperfections, which I have tried to show honestly in the photographs.
Please note: the car has recently developed an intermittent overheating issue. A substantial amount of the cooling system has already been renewed, but the underlying cause has not yet been conclusively diagnosed. The rear middle seat belt is also currently jammed.
I am therefore selling the car as-is and have priced it accordingly, due to a change in circumstances.
A genuinely unusual B5 Avant with exceptionally low mileage and extensive maintenance history. Ideal for an enthusiast who appreciates modern classics and German engineering.
