R8 PURCHASE-WEST LONDON AUDI

Post by shindy » Tue Sep 16, 2014 4:28 pm

hi guys,
not been on this for a couple months now...just wanted to give you a update on my r8 purchase from this stealer!!!!got the car after 2 days felt a juddering coming through the steering wheel,phoned london audi to complain!!!they said book it in too your nearest dealer to get it checked!!!done that and they come back ans say discs are warped and need replaced,also your rear pads and discs are on the limit so need replaced also engine management light keeps coming on at 70mph!!bodywork was a shambles ,rear fins badly worn with the heat,scratches everywhere,drivers side side bolster worn badly.Glasgow audi quoted 5k for all the work to be done.....but guess what west london audi werent willing to pay that and asked me too book into porsche glasgow as they are part of the sytner group and came back with the same diagnosis!!!west london still didnt want to pay for it !!!!They want ed to pik up the car and take down to london where they would do alll the work and send it back .Now six weeks had passed from the day of ownership .The car was also out of tax as they were meant to be transferring my number plate and paid for tax at the same time ....but find out they hadnt even done that yet....really pissed off now :FIREdevil: told them to come collect car and refund the money in full!!!!!!At last they agreed to something,refund recieved and car relisted on there website with a 7k markup on what i paid for it!!!!!!

thanks

I bought a car from Sytner once, but will definitely never again

Your best bet is to go straight to audi customer services over the heads of the dealer network

I had a similar experience with sytner
Bought a nearly new car that was described as 'new' condition, but had loads of obvious issues
They wanted nothing to do with it. It was a crap experience and I'd never but through them ever again without being very careful
They were rude, unhelpful and ended up effectively calling me a liar until I disproved them, to which I got no apology
