All gather and cheer for this man who is keeping the entire UK economy afloat all by himself with his massive overspending tendencies.... Even the current government can't counter his efforts.
Before (regularly) watching High Peak Autos, I always thought used car salespeople were, well, always out to sell dodgy cars with the absolute minimum spend/effort/consideration and effectively screwing the next unlikely punter who comes along next. Well I was completely wrong there and I hope there are plenty more like Matt out there (where exactly??) ! Matt has also restored my faith in humanity as clearly it's not just a business to him. Can't wait to see what he does in 2025. oh I do like the S5 too! And one other thing, please please please join Bluesky! all the best Rob
Thanks for the vlog I had a misfortune, I was diagnsed with ovariScn cncer. I also created a channel and am trying to move in that direction, but so far not very successful(
Love how you sort everything down to the very last detail regardless of cost, nothing is left to chance and not a single corner is cut getting a vehicle ready for sale. In it's new state of totally sorted condition it's an absolute bargain Matt 👍
This is due to most if not all costs being paid for by views. It's unusual for a dealer to do all the work needed as it would eat into profit. Matt can massively overspend almost every time as he recoups the cost from UA-cam.
I've had numerous dents removed over the years and they usually plug the holes with rubber grommets afterwards to prevent any corrosion issues. Ultimately there's no other way of getting to the dents if they can't get behind the panel so a small price to pay.
I love these cars too, had an ‘06 V8 S4 cab, ‘11 3.0T S5 Cab and currently an ‘18 S5 Cab, V8 was the best sound hands down but gets blown away by the V6’s performance wise. Well done for saving one.
I have the exact same car, with the following exceptions: 2012, 10K less miles, Panoramic Roof, Prestige Pkg with Sport differential, Audi Drive Select and the Bang & Olufsen sound system. I did something very similar to you to fix up my car after I acquired it. Some things that popped up for me were the following: Brake rotors were grooved like yours, replaced them with Zimmerman drilled front/rear with TRW Ultra pads. Front AC pressure switch went bad, cheap and easy repair, new Continental Extreme Contact Sport DWS 06 Plus tires made this car handle like a dream. Full engine tune up with ECS Tuning coil packs and NGK plugs, K&N filter, Ceretec engine treatment, new cabin air filter, etc. The color is called, Monsoon Grey Metallic and the White Nappa leather seats are called Pearl Silver, I believe. It's by far, the best car I've ever owned and plan to keep it forever. Good luck with your S5. You made a great deal there Mate! Cheers from North Carolina, USA.
Well done, i love the fact that you prep a car like its for yourself regardless of the cost 👍 I'm the same i like to get all the boxes ticked , Good job and good luck with the sale 🙏
Loved the snapshot of Prestige Wheels. A long time since I've lived in the UK, but the 'service provider' costs always sound like really good value. The only exception is 'mechanics.' Matt puts so much business their way, yet nearly always seems to end up paying top dollar.
Same here, I live in Australia now but I’m originally from that area, always makes me wince at how little it costs to do the work Matt has done on his cars compared to here. I keep an old 650i BMW in storage near Manchester Airport for my trips back, next time I think I’ll be dropping it at Prestige to get 2 of the wheels sorted if that’s all it costs!
Thats what mechanics told me about my car, its been garaged by previous owner, no rust, looks in great condition, got a major service done with premium oil and five months later apparently need a new turbo 👍🏻
I love how you sort everything down to the very last detail. I don't think you should worry about overspending, this car was worth it, and some cars are worth saving.
Thanks for the vlog I had a misfortune, I was diagnosed with ovariacn cncer. I also created a channel and am trying to move in that direction, but so far not very successful(sda
I’m with you Matt, that gem of a car is worth a lot more than £7,750 that you have spent. And that doesn’t include the premium fuel that you put in! (Great minds think alike) Obviously not a cheap car to run, but it will pay back its next owner in pure driving joy. Hope you get an appreciative buyer, or will you keep it for a while?
Interesting video, enjoyed watching it. I used to own the exact same model (2010 black with oyster) and agree with most of your comments. I think where we differ is how the car drives, I thought the whole driving experience is “numb” and never felt that fast. My car replaced a E92 335i, that car was far superior dynamically. Ultimately that’s why I only kept it a year and replaced it with something far more fun. The comical fuel consumption didn’t help either! Enjoy the car though, they do look stunning.
A fullysorted V8 S5 for that money is doing well, You could have bought a worse sample and ended up spending way more. One to keep for a while until your heart settles on another bargain to overspend on. Have a great New Year Matt
Love the content matt the only thing that spoiled it was the sub standard job the dent man did drilling a hole in a rust free car to get the dent out ,that could of been glue pulled from the outside as ive had it done before just abit more work to do it properly.
So..a smidge over 8K when it's actually fully sorted, with the blind spot monitoring system fixed. I agree.. That's really not bad, for a great car. Well done.
Nice video - bought the same colour combo a year ago but for £5K with a manual when prices were a little lower. Thoroughly enjoyed it, and got a few comments about it being a flash car despite a Corsa costing more. Enjoyed it over winter then got my money back in summer. They are such premium, quality cars for the money.
Adaptive cruise control, parking sensors all round, blind spot assist , great colour, its a great spec i had a 2.0TFSI quattro a couple years back, theyre lovely cars. Shame about the hole thats been drilled into the door shut that is just incredibly strange to me but a brilliant car for the money
That's one very nice car enjoyed the video as always ..Hope you and all of your family have had a great Christmas and I hope you have an even better 2025 all the best Matt
I have tried to have minor dents "popped" on my previous cars but the prices quoted were always WAY more than your £45 even though the back of the panels were fully accessible. Hold and cherish your dents guy (did you remember to send him a Christmas card ?).
@@stephencollins7714 I have never seen that before! ,no way would I let them drill my car.I had a dent on my car that couldn't be accessed, & they used the hot glue method to take it out.
@@stephencollins7714it’s a known practise , a practise that not many condone. I’d certainly walk away from a car that’s been drilled to allow for PDR. Whole idea of PDR is to be non invasive and to not require paintwork . Drilling a hole in the car, in my opinion is completely contrary to that .
Bought one these few years back for 6.5k 96k miles, only kept for year but was great car in manual with custom exhaust sounding epic👌 few minor prob otherwise great car.
Always loved the lines on this Audi when they first entered the market . The guys that have brought it back too a brilliant condition need alot off praise 🙏. And thanks for the GIN necking it now 🤣. Jimmy the drunk Majic man , all the best for the New Year Mat great working with you 👍👍👍👍👍
Lovely car and well sorted now. Love the V8's too, although I could not afford to run one myself! My brother has a 2014 Porsche Cayenne Turbo, 4.8 V8 petrol twin turbo. It's a great car for the money. It has great performance, comfort and practicality. Still a beast even today.
I think that you got yourself a great deal. Locally, I can only find a 2011 with 132 000 KM, Manual, Coupe for 18 000$ CAD which is roughly £10 000! If the steering wheel was on the proper side, you could make some serious coin selling it over here! This car does seem to be a keeper. A few things do go wrong, but no turbo or supercharger to worry about! Enjoy the car!
We've heard so much about Prestige wheels, so getting a peep was lovely. I'm not that much into Audi, but I'll admit that this one is lovely (to watch and listen to)
Great work again and the superlative on eating oneself as a chocolate bar is priceless ! 🙊 just needs a special number plate and many years left of exciting driving! 😎
This is just one beautiful car and great to see that the windows haven't had some awful after market tint put on them. The exterior colour is great and with the light leather interior rather than the traditional black, it looks stunning. This is a keeper.
I'm not a fan of Audi's "chav range" but you have to take your hat off to the care and detail Matt goes into to get this to a position where it can be put up for sale. I'm sure a guy with grey tracksuit trousers is going to love this.
Really nice S5. If it's anything like the Mk2 TT of the same era, the window regulators wouldn't be worn - the cables would be rusted and frayed (hence the crunching noise as the cables go around the pulleys) because Audi had the great idea of putting unprotected steel cables in the door where it's nice and damp.
Love the deep sound of the V8 just wish mine sounded like that 😅 I can see your starting to become a audi fan now with the S cars when you buying a S8 I wonder with that V10

What a car Something Special Absolutely awesome it's good to see something different and rare put back on the road. The question I have is Are you going to keep it Are you going to sell it . I think the interest in that car will be High.
I hate winter MY 200,000 mile 1999 BMW E38, Airbag light on and vanaty mirrors gone off but as soon as i got it nice and toasty warm inside its all normal now , just took it around the M60 Twice does it a world of good but its a bit foggy out there today .ive just put 70 ltrs in it £1 a litre boxing day at my shell Garage .
Been looking to buy an S5 for a few weeks now. Has to be a manual for me though. Unfortunately not many about. Purchasing yours Matt would've been ideal as you're about 45 mins from me. As usual I'll end up buying one from 200 miles away.
Love your reviews Matt and have subscribed. What i wanted to ask is what kind of reliability do you expect from a 16 year old Audi S5.Fine its all ship shape now but what do you think that car will need in a year lets say. What tends to go wrong with them and at what cost. It looks great but what might come up, frightens me.
Lovely car, great video. I love the sound of a V8 engine too. Here in London, you pay for the privilege of parking on the street you live on. Lambeth council charge you for the amount of emissiions your car gives out. BUT the car is parked. £237 a year to be able to park my BMW 520D MHT MSport on my road. I would love to own a V8 but the costs rocket to ridiculous prices. They are trying to get us out of our cars, and on to buses and trains which are packed or quite often not running.
Indeed they are! And one day perhaps even by 2030 if the WEF get their way and Govts cave in.. 'You will own nothing and be happy'! And have you heard of 15 minute cities, you won't being on buses nor trains, neither.
Great looking car , I am a fan of any 4x4 so good on UK roads with all the rain we get , I have owned front wheel cars and had issues in the rain going into a street and losing the front end and also owned a few rear wheel cars and again in the rain you lose the back end so many times so the 4x4 systems gets rid of these issues. Those seats look good and wow the engine but please correct if I am wrong but those disc hubs looked scored to hell and back I am sure you could play music with them
Great! The A5 for this gen IMO will be desired classics. I was in a awe when debuted and dare to say has aged wonderfully and is better looking than the BMW E92.

Great looking car. My only concern would be the dent removal company drilling into the bodywork inside the door to access the rear quarter dent. 12:09

Love the video. Your attention to the details is top notch.
Cheers
Love your reviews Matt and have subscribed. What i wanted to ask is what kind of reliability do you expect from a 16 year old Audi S5.Fine its all ship shape now but what do you think that car will need in a year lets say. What tends to go wrong with them and at what cost. It looks great but what might come up, frightens me.
Lovely car, great video. I love the sound of a V8 engine too. Here in London, you pay for the privilege of parking on the street you live on. Lambeth council charge you for the amount of emissiions your car gives out. BUT the car is parked. £237 a year to be able to park my BMW 520D MHT MSport on my road. I would love to own a V8 but the costs rocket to ridiculous prices. They are trying to get us out of our cars, and on to buses and trains which are packed or quite often not running.
Indeed they are! And one day perhaps even by 2030 if the WEF get their way and Govts cave in.. 'You will own nothing and be happy'! And have you heard of 15 minute cities, you won't being on buses nor trains, neither.
I remember in the build up to the Iraq war in 2003 they were insisting “they hate us for our freedom”
Rewatching the end result video sun 19th Jan 2025 fantastic car 👌loving the S5 with the epic Audi V8
Great looking car , I am a fan of any 4x4 so good on UK roads with all the rain we get , I have owned front wheel cars and had issues in the rain going into a street and losing the front end and also owned a few rear wheel cars and again in the rain you lose the back end so many times so the 4x4 systems gets rid of these issues. Those seats look good and wow the engine but please correct if I am wrong but those disc hubs looked scored to hell and back I am sure you could play music with them
Brilliant video - as always - that is a fab machine - perhaps another car you’ll be holding on to for a while !!
Great! The A5 for this gen IMO will be desired classics. I was in a awe when debuted and dare to say has aged wonderfully and is better looking than the BMW E92.
Couldn't agree more!
