How Can I Check Its History ?

Post by Northern Chap » Thu Aug 18, 2016 7:12 am

Feb 2015 V10 Plus Coupe in white with full carbon aero pack.

For sale at JCT600 Audi

4k miles & £87500

Registration is OE64UXU

The car is as you would expect, virtually new apart from a few minor stone chips & a "possible" click when turning at very slow speed (5mph max) (steering ?)

Anyway..... The car was a Audi car & JCT600 took it in back in May.... My concerns were the following;

1. Demo car - heavy use/abuse ?
2. Audi press car ?
3. Audi management car ?
4. Track car/Audi day etc ?

Ive asked all these questions to JCT600 & they simply tell me its just a central Audi car and has never been on track, abused etc.... As it would show on their system ??!!

Tyres are as new ( we all know a new set couldve been fitted )

On inside of alloys it looks like wheel weights have been removed/moved as old sticky pads showing....

How else can I check its life to date or do I just take the car on face value ?

Any help greatly appreciated

Chris

I think someone else has looked at this. 5 owners? Ex footballer car. Best avoided I believe was the consensus.

If you fancy a Somoa orange one the one at Dove house cars is my mates, pictures of it at the box hill meet back in May, it has a miltek and while Andy had it has been sorted with full detail etc. When getting a car he has had every niggle if any are sorted and the car is tip top, he even had a brand new grillput on as he hates numberplate screw holes which cost £800 if I remember.

Got the essential buckets, good price imo. Milltek is a bonus. Guess this is most likely the exact same car:
