Cambelt 5 years old and not serviced for 2 years?
How long have you owned the car for?
Has it had the gearbox serviced at all?
How old are the tyres?
previous- Pug 205 gti, 306 gti, 309 gti Goodwood.
Audi S3, S4 V8 avant.
Porsche Macan Turbo.
Gone but NEVER forgotten - C5 RS6 Misano red avant.

Now - Empty garage

Hi, yes I bought the car whilst I was abroad and it's been tucked up until returning back to the UK in June.

My stepfather has run it every month to keep things ticking over. It's only done 3k miles in the last 3 years.

I've had it since Feb 2018.

Tyres were new when I bought it.

Gearbox has had the usual oil change in line with the service requirements / history.

Thanks

Sorry - to add to the gearbox bit - it's had 2 gearbox services , new oil and filters, and strainer.

Service at 75k miles was completely clean with no faults.

You might want to add the gearbox service info to your advert, that's one of the most important bits of info people will look for in a C5.

Hmm - ok thanks chunky. I know the car has been looked after and gearbox has been serviced, just not sure exactly when. Never given me any trouble so far.

Got no invoices of work done on the car then?
Pretty risky saying it's HAD 2 gearbox services, but don't ACTUALLY know if it has or not.

Alex let me have a look at his car after he had taken a deposit at full asking price, so it's probably sold now.
Looked in good order and genuine. Would have been well worth having an expert check it out if you were serious about buying it.
I gather the new owner lives in the Gatwick area, so maybe will become a regular on the forums.
