Steep.
But one of the cleanest examples around, credit due to previous owners asam_x, Golffather and HYFR.

Which one of the three forgot to use their eyes when choosing the trim panels? At least it hasn't been slammed to 3mm off the floor, well, now anyway.

They've all got cruise. Albeit with controls designed by a mentally disturbed contortionist.

In all due respect you was probably just unlucky, looking at some of the cars they have I wouldn't be to worried about buying from them.
Not many garages own multiple £150k cars, I mean it's not like this 6 is in with a garage full of bangers

The interior was actually quite nice!
I bought it from Docklands Audi for about £18-20k (can't remember now) in 2007/8 ? Had 40k on the clock or something?
must be getting old, memory is going

I went to look at a car at a high end dealer (Had loads of Astons, Ferraris, Porsches) and they were utterly awful. Put about £5 of petrol in and nearly ran out just warming it up/moving it around the forecourt. They didn't even want me to test drive it before buying.
So I walked away.

I didn't realise being 'unlucky' was a valid excuse for poor customer service?
"With all due respect" is just another way of saying "I think you're a moron".
Also, your points on why one shouldn't be worried about buying from 'them' or why this '6 will be 'tip top' just do not hold any water, what-so-ever.
Lemme get this straight:
- - Because a "garage" 'owns' multiple £150k cars, they'll never sell you a dud?
- Because the "garage" isn't full of bangers?
So, with all due respect, as far as I can figure it, you must get ripped off by rich people all the time.

Lol you had a bad day or something, I was only saying one bad experience always comes out of a car dealer every so often they can't always have the perfect car.
And it would fill me with more confidence the fact they have high end cars.
I was not having a pop but this 6 looks nice and as been owned by valued members on this site, so just because it's in this garage doesn't mean to say that people should steer clear of it.

Wasnt going to go into it but.....
promised new tyres got part worns, I should have checked I know but when buying from dealer there is an element of trust
promised ALL mot advisorys would be sorted they 'lost' the second page of advisorys which just happend to note 1 damper was weaping. This caused the suspension pump to give up the ghost after 1000 miles so I had to fork out for new suspension. For which they only payed half and that was only after I got an independent engineer involved.
promised a warranty which I never got so when the suspesion failed there was no cover. They then tryed to con the warranty company buy buying one on my behalf then making an immediate claim. Unsurprisingly the warranty company cottened on and denyed the claim.
Again I reiterate wouldn't buy again regardless of the cars they have on the forecourt.
could be a lovely car but my trust in them is gone so I wouldnt buy
