As I mentioned in another post, the many OV plate Suzuka cars are ex Audi management/show cars. When I first started looking at B8's I enquired about one in Edinburgh and they told me it was used at shows, so even though it was low mileage the interior had had a lot of traffic through it so was a bit scuffed here & there.

Audi recently sold them all off to dealers.

No, not entirely. Ask to see if there is any info in the log book, if they've been looked at by Jack Barlcay in London at all, they're almost certainly ex footballers cars from the sponsorship deal between Audi & Chelsea. Last year the first team drove around in 4's 6's & 7's, but only from home to home matches. If you think of the logic, they aren't going to rag the car as 1) they're a known face 2) they are about to play a game & don't need anything to go wrong for them 3) most have drivers rather than drive them selves. You might turn your nose up & think I'm talking bs, but from the ones I've witnessed, they're hardly driven.
It's all torque talk.

I've just bought one of these in black. Well specced and had done 2400 miles in about 9 months. It had basically been parked at Stamford Bridge as mentioned above. Nothing wrong with them imho.

Sorry for your loss buddy. Sounds like a top bloke.
B7 and b8 need thrashing, can't see the problem, as long as it's been warmed up
