I have had a bad experience with Vindis Audi in Huntingdon which will leave me very reluctant to return.
If the car was advertised as "1 owner" and you can prove that it was but has actually had 2 and you can prove this too they are in breach of the Sale of Goods Act and I would be looking for a bit more than ally mirrors and a free service!
If you are sure you have a case then this is the man to contact..

Trading Standards and the SMMT take a very dim view of this kind of thing as I'm sure do Audi UK and if you are correct I would be looking for a couple of thousand off the price or report them to Trading Standards which will probably cost them a whole lot more.
This post is without prejudice and based on the facts provided.
Not impressed with main dealer on my RS4 purchase.
Obviously this will be an upset and hassle you don’t need however I do think Yorkie is spot on here!If the car was advertised as "1 owner" and you can prove that it was but has actually had 2 and you can prove this too they are in breach of the Sale of Goods Act and I would be looking for a bit more than ally mirrors and a free service!

Re: RE: Peace of mind.....
I would really suggest you get this sorted as I purchased mine moddified and a turbo failed... Audi UK washed their hands clean of the warranty and the dealership I bought it from no longer existed. I was left with a 3-4k bill at the least!!graemep wrote:Got a similar issue - when I took my recently purchased B5 RS4 (which I had test driven and believed to be standard) to AMD for a healthcheck the car got a clean bill of health but it was found that the car had been remapped - the rolling road showed 430bhp. I would suggest you consider a similar check - I could have been up s**t-creek in the event of an insurance claim if this hadn't been discovered, and its not the first time a dealer has sold a remapped car as standard.
Currently waiting for the dealer to come back with a better response than 'we'll get it put back to standard' - otherwise will be having a word with Audi UK Customer Services....
If you need contacts within Audi give me a shout... I know em all - as useless as they are.
