Description from the seller, in Finnish.

Huollettu ja siistinä pidetty pitkin historian. Sisusta ehjä ja siisti, runsas varustelu - nahkarattia, kääntyvät xenonit ja peilit, musiikit Bluetoothilla puhelimesta jne. Kaikki muu toimii paitsi peruutustutka. Täysi koneremontti laatuosilla 8/ 2025 / 282tkm. Samaan projektiin uusi tuulilasi, uusi akku ja täysi huolto. Myös uudet Nokian Hakkapeliitta 10 talvirenkaat aluvanteilla, joilla siis nyt 1 talvi takana, huippukunnossa. Kesärenkaat hyvät Goodyearit, aluvanteilla. Tänä vuonna 289tkm vaihdettu öljyt, vaihteiston öljyt, 290 laitettu taakse järeimmät ja korkeimmat jouset mitä löytyi (pieni peräkorotuksen maku, mutta nyt voi kuskata kultaharkkoja eikä kallistele tai huoju). Samalla uudet iskarit taakse. Eteen toki saa myös korkeampia jousia. Juuri äskettäin uusittu taakse kaikki jarruosat. Katsastettu 8.8. _huomautuksitta_, leimaa 23.8.2027 asti. Tämä on aivan huippu käyttöauto, menee moottoritietä kuin kalliimmat saksalaiset, pakastinkin mahtuu kyytiin ja jos tuo moottori ei ole tuttu, niin käsittämättömän alhaalta vetää ja vaivattomasti, helppokäyttöisen kytkimen ja 6v manuaalin kanssa tosi miellyttävä kombo. Ja on taloudellinen ja halpa ylläpitää! Auto myynnissä, koska tullut hankittua saman konsernin aitoja nelivetoja puolivahingossa useampi. Jos ei tämä mene kaupaksi, niin laitan yhden A6 C5 1.8t quattron myyntiin ennen talvea. Eli lähtökohtaisesti ei vaihtoa! Saa sitä omaa romua toki yrittää tarjota vaihdossa.
