Hi Simon, Where is the car? Someone from here or AudiSRS.com might be able to look at the car with you and give it an unbiased check. They may also have vag com.

Lots of thing on here and SRS to search for that will tell you what to look for. Or you could get it checked at one of the top independent garages? MRC, Unit20 or Tom Cockings spring to mind. Depends where in the country the car is too!

simon, have you looked at the buyers guide in sticky section?
where are you located?

someone else was considering buying that red one in slough or reading i cant remember properly, but i know its got the bbs LM's which could be a replicas as the centre caps were missing IIRC. good spec tho with sun roof and low miles.

have a read of this as its about that car

have you consider the avus for 13k for sale on here by the gumpert owner.
