Help: KW56 CAV

Post by RED_ROCKET » Thu Nov 01, 2012 11:08 am

Hi Guys,

Looking to buy this car and need more info on it, seller has given minimal details to owners but has high mileage 115k.

I've checked the short data vehicle check which bought up 1owner from new.

If anyone could help me with spec etc, and what I should be looking for on a high miler.

Thanks

Sorry - don't recognise the car.

Have seen the classified advert on ebay though and something just doesn't seem right - I know the mileage is high at 115k but for a 2007 car to be on the market at only £8200?! I'd be wondering why - there was another high miler mentioned on here a couple of months back (about 110k miles I think) and from memory that one sold for over £13k...so why is the seller of this one pricing it so cheaply?

It might be perfectly fine and I might be overly cynical, but I'd be wary of it.

If you're still keen on it I guess you should be checking the service history, DRC, and 'consumables' such as clutch etc which must surely have been replaced at that mileage. The ad mentions Audi service history up to 89k miles - try to find out which dealer(s) and speak to them to see if they can vouch for the car.

Good luck - it could end up being a real bargain!

will let you know what its like once i have driven from Carlisle back to London!!!! :bigblink:
