Anyone know this car?

Post by drybeer » Tue Feb 06, 2018 9:33 pm

Does anyone know this car? On the surface looked good BUT some minor detective work reveals:

Adaptive cruise grill fitted but it’s not on the factory spec.
Serviced by Audi at 46736 miles in Dec 17 but showing 45743 in pics.

Once you notice the grill, you certainly can't un-notice it! A bit of a strange one that though, perhaps phone the dealerships it has been serviced at and ask them the work that has been carried out on it. It may have had a small front end impact.

Thats a high spec car with Keyless, blinds, passenger memory seats, solar front screen, roof.
So I imagine that it has radar cruise from factory specced - radar detector is present.

That grill is not correct though, it may be aftermarket fitment as they are much cheaper.

A factory grill has the cutout for the radar detector

Nope. Hence why I said Adaptive Cruise isn’t fitted.

Adaptive could be retrofitted.
But a half baked job as the clocks are still standard and not the adaptive cruise version.
No other reason why the box would be there behind the grill.

ACC from factory. Its on its build Sticker. Audi Sales spec printouts often misleading, and miss ACC in particular for some reason. You can also clearly see the extra slider on top of the cruise stalk in photos 11 and 17.

Date on the cluster looks to be a few months old. Service is likely genuine, but real mileage on the car has gone up since photos taken....

No microfiber headlining or Side assist if you really wanted to long for something it doesn't have bar ceramics and exclusive bits.

Good spec and low miles, but I find the 2G setup makes it all look a bit dated for that sort of money personally.

It’s immaterial - I was told it’s sold now (again it appears)
