this is the car i test drove 3 weeks ago at lincoln audi
http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1298754.htm
they offered me a poor deal, so bought one privately instead. it was taken off sale within a couple of days, now up for sale again....strange.
do you think someone bought it then returned it under the 30day plan ??

I nearly returned mine under the 30 day plan due to the horrendouse amount of faults with it which MRC diagnosed. Thankfully the dealer rectified all of them to the tune of £4***

perhaps as the warranty says 11months...where as if you bought a used car from Audi you should have 12 months
yet another example of Audi dealers selling broken cars
w*nkers

i don't think there was anything wrong with the car - certainly on the surface it was very good condition.
and it was savagely quick - i think it must have been re-chipped.
if anyone's reasonably local, its worth taking out for a drive if only for comparison to a standard car...

It's possible a customer placed a deposit and then failed to be approved on finance - this is a fairly common occurence.
I like the colour scheme and spec - I had two S4 Avants with Alcantara - it's a good upholstery. Shame no electric steering column.
Also at £28000 is this really worth it when you're going to want to rip out the DRC etc?

maybe the new owner couldn't live with all the power..??
and to top it all, the aluminium plus plaque is missing.....i bet you can't buy one of those as a replacement...

Yeah, I thought it was expensive, even for a Plus.

That would really bum me out. A 'plus' without it's plaque is like an Armani suit without the Armani clothes label.
Surely you'd have to go to a metalwork shop and have one especially made? I daren't think how much Audi would charge for such a badge

it was a no cost factory option....as a security aspect to avoid people knowing how rare they are and stealing them

Steve, that car must have just been behind yours in the production line.
