any views on this car please?

lol Mike, I don't know why but I still think it is, 1 owner from new, professional.

Appeared a few weeks after Charles was selling his. Charles on 24k now on 26k, and no RNSE.

I'm no Sherlock but all the signs were there.

With you on that one Mart. Very strange, as there's a lot of similarities between the two and the fact that low mileage, one owner, cars are like the proverbial rocking horse 'xyz' ?

I'm sure the one that was in the classifieds on here, had a half leather interior as well. I remember that I was going to comment on the Silver being a hard colour to sell (especially for premium money) and then noticed no RNSe; so instead decided to try and be positive and suggested fitting one to increase potential interest. Photographs from the original advert have all been removed in March, all very odd?

I sent Charles the number plate of the car I am looking at via PM and he said it was not his and that he still had his. Also, this one has always been serviced in Cheltenham and Charles is based in Yorkshire.

Fair play acl.

Hope the viewing goes well.

Will let you know. You guys have succeeded in making me paranoid now!

Yes good luck with it, just take a note book with you and jot down any concerns/thoughts and report back here. The bumper gap is quite a common issue, as it often comes off to sort out common failure items, like auxiliary radiators, oil coolers and parking sensors. Also, it’s quite easy to put on incorrectly or not quite get the alignment spot on. To be honest, it takes a lot of faffing around to sort out but well worth it in the end.

FYI - I'm in a foul mood right now (own car scenario) which maybe influencing the negativity/suspicious nature of my previous reply.

Didn't want to post.....again.........but can't stop myself,

Late 2006 car: check
One owner: check
Both without RNSE: check
Low miles: check
Part leather: I confess I don't remember this from original ad but Sam seems too.

Now the odds on all these coming together to give us two near identical spec cars is by my reckoning at best remote, not impossible but remote.

Very intriguing. Keep us posted.

I'm off to watch more "Tales of the unexpected"

Obscure spec combinations will put off a lot of people but every car has a buyer at the right price, even though the audi rnse isn't that great I cant help but feel the lack of it dates the dash somewhat...

I have now seen the car and decided not to buy it. There were a few cosmetic marks, the air con was not working, history OK but not as comprehensive as I would have liked. Not a bad car but I was very disappointed given the mileage. I used to own another sports car with 65k miles that was in much better condition.

Thanks all for the help and if anyone else here is interested, feel free to PM me for more details.
