Its manual, I dont think it has many extras, alloys look like the standard ones as well

First, it’s a diesel that did 45000 miles in 10 years. That means short trips in town, in the cold Danish climate. Not a good sign at all. Second, it might be an Audi, but it’s an old car. It’s usually the age at which cars become expensive to maintain, especially a diesel that hasn’t been used for its intended purpose. Third, it’s an SE, Audi’s bare bones trim. You get wheels, a steering wheel, seats and the kind of kit a relatively new vauxhall corsa (or any other small, cheap, entry level car) has (if you’re lucky). Fourth, the prices you get from valuation websites are trade-in prices, that’s how much you can expect a dealer to pay you as p/x. You can sell privately for more, just like the dealer would add his own profit on top. That car might have been “desirable” in its days, but I’m surprised it’s worth that much, so not a bad price after all. I would know, I sold my diesel A4 several years back, before covid and the announcement that ICE won’t be sold by 2030 anymore...

Denmark doesn't have a cold climate, it has a temperate climate. Which means it doesn't get that cold in the winter and doesn't get that hot in the summer.

Looking on Autotrader for 2011-2012 2.0 diesel A6's, with up to 60k miles (and excluding insurance write offs). There are 10 cars made up of 4 SE's and 6 S-Line's. They range in price from £8649 for a 50k mile SE to £12k for a (privately owned) 44k mile S-Line.

The SE might have been the lowest spec, but it certainly isn't "bare bones", and has a far better standard of spec than in any small cheap entry level car, Corsa or otherwise. And unless you are more interested in image than anything else, the S-Line brings absolutely nothing else worth having with the possible exception of xenon headlights.

Not really an Audi fan myself, but SE is absolutely the spec I'd go for if pushed, for no other reason than the smaller wheels would give a better ride.

Whether or not buying a 10 year old diesel with 45k miles is a good idea is irrelevant as (A), the OP has already bought the car, and (B) he was asking whether it was a good price, not a good car. To that end, the (admittedly small) selection on Autotrader suggests it was a very good deal.

Its been in the UK until a month ago.
It has got all leather seats and stugg, and from the pictures I have seen, the interior looks a lot more luxurious than a new entry level car.
Anyway thanks for your answer.

I didn’t say it’s a bad car

Nobody suggested otherwise. I said the OP wasn't asking if it was a good deal, which, with the comment below, you don't seem to think it is,

I’m just aaying their prices plumetted recently.

The prices of the cars I looked at on Autotrader was this morning. Have the values of them dropped since then?.

NO, an SE is a bare bones trim

Hmm, lets see, stop/start with energy recuperation, four drive modes, cruise control, auto lights and wipers, leather, sat nav, dual zone climate control, auto-dimming rear view mirror, etc, etc. Yes, must be just like sitting on a wooden chair in an empty shed holding a steering wheel. How any of those A6 SE drivers possibly managed with such meagre equipment levels, I'll never know.

I had one, unlike you.

Really, and how would you know what cars I have owned?.

Asking price is one, trade-in value is something else.

That isn't really relevant as the OP doesn't say whether it was from a garage or a private sale. Though one would think, logistically, for buying a car abroad, it would be more likely from a garage. What the OP does say is that he paid 5200. I'm assuming that to be Pounds, in which case it is a good price for a private sale, and a very good price from a garage. But if that price is Euros, the deal is even better.

Bought it privately from a danish man who had just moved back to denmark from the uk and decided he did not want to keep it due to very high tax fees for getting danish number plates on it. And it was in pounds

Presumably the car is RHD and still on UK plates. That must make re importing the car easier?
