I like the Autotrader advert.

Miles 60,000.

Then at the bottom:

Actual miles 64556

funny....

I'm going to call Poole Audi and ask for the exact miles...

It's wont be a pretty response if it's the same.

I know I said try and source one for me, but not to flick through auto trader on my behalf and add on a couple of K for the hassle. Must of think I came down in the last shower.
In descending order:
E46 M3 (fun, but common place)
TVR Sagaris (axe murderer in the wet)
Porsche 996 911 (no soul)
Porsche Boxter 2.7 (boring)
Audi RS2 (looooved it, except the bills)
Lotus Elise (fun under 60)
Audi S2 380 BHP (X2) (big bills, big hassle, but major fun)
VW Corrado VR6 (took 2 miles to stop)

The Autotrader one has Piano Black trim not Carbon trim, not that I'd trust anything that salesman said.

He's swapping it to throw honahon off the scent :D

That is how a lot of people source cars, I just hope they have sent someone the 100 miles or so to Luton to check the car over before agreeing to sell it as Audi Approved Used car, I bet they haven't.
As mentioned before, call the dealer and as them if they'll trade the car i.e. sell it to you for a lot less as seen.
If Audi want 20k I bet they have paid £17k max, it's OTT at £19k anyway really in the current market.
FYI, Audi used to reject any car over 60k but times are hard now and they can't afford to be too fussy.

Thanks but it's just too much IMHO, also not full leather. Besides, it's prob on it's way down to Poole as we speak with some young bloke grinning from ear to ear :lol:

Doesn't seem like the MFSW was an option in the UK, that Auto Trader one could be an import.

In Europe they fitted wheels from the A4 I believe, hence this one has no RS4 badge.

I doubt they buy it in without a firm yes from you or some deposit.
It does look like a fish out of water at that car supermarket in Luton, mind boggles how these cars can end up there but it is a local reg number (VS)

Was just jesting TBH, was just a nice thought :-)

How'd the Golf go?? All good I hope.

Don't you collect your RS4 tomorrow?

The blokes dog died so couldn't come up (genuinely) to collect Golf but he wants to come tomorrow but unfortunately, yes I will be otherwise engaged... :)
I'm not excited, more nervous, I hate driving unknown cars especially ones that wont warm up fully and especially around the m25 :twisted:

He told me "it must be my lucky day" which I thought was pretty amusing. What the hell winter pac is I have no idea. It's been sourced by Poole Audi - guy called Chris if anyone's interested.. Apparently they have been offered it from another trader so it would need to be brought in... you can bet your last pound they've paid prob 12'ish for and just adding on a huge premium. Not sure he was so chuffed when I asked if I could deal with the seller directly... received a flat no :-) Surely that's more like 15 \ 16k at the moment?
Bose is standard on RS4's I think.
LOL, its just cost me £700 to have my car repaired from a bodged Poole Audi service! They changed the cambelt without a crank pin or camlock bar which is shocking :shock:
