Hello all, I posted this last night specifically in the Audi Coupe forum but noticed many more members in her so thought I'd chance my arm and post it her too!

I have always loved the Coupe shape and due to the credit crunch I have had to sell my 06 A4 Sport and I need another car for much less money. Naturally I don't want to spend money on a cheap Ford as I love Audis but money is tighter than a gnats chuff. On Saturday morning I am viewing a low mileage (42,000) 2.6e 1996 Coupe, I have read up on the threads on what to look out for bodywork and mechanical wise but none of the topics talk about how much this car is worth. Now, given these tough times we live in, I am looking for a good deal but I also want a great car that won't let me down and still looks great. The car has FSH (mostly main dealer) and from the chat I have had already with the owner everything sounds genuine. Assuming that the car ticks all the right boxes (it is not concours immaculate but in very good condition for its age) how much is a car like this worth in the current climate? I won't say what he is asking for it as I don't want to influence your informed replies!

Your estimates are welcome,

Cheers, Emgee!

p.s The cam belt is original and has not been changed - scope here to haggle price but how much would I expect to pay a mechanic to do it - £250ish?
