Eject.

Second that on the attitude of prospective buyers. If you come across as a shitbag you're not getting anywhere near my car.
As for the '£1000 deposit' idea, Forget it that'll never happen. Would you pay a grand up front to just go and look at a car? Don't think so.

Sorry to read about your experience.

What reason are the police giving to hold back on putting the scumbags picture all over the Internet?

A 60k car, if you're serious? Yes, don't think that's unreasonable.

We malign the stealers for making a profit but from now on my ideas about "value add" have had a new entry.

So sorry to have seen this played out in full. I am so glad that my site (tootle) was nothing to do with it......we are so careful about what information is passed on and which dealers are allowed access to our system.

Sorry we could not get a deal done for you this time but hopefully we can help you out in the near future!

yes asking for a £500/£1000 before coming is perfectly normal.. sold alot of 60k+ cars in my time and a serious buyer doesnt have any issues sending deposits. IT usually the knobs who dont want to.

Well I guess it would wheedle out the usual morons-selling my C6 currently and have had half the mIdlands call me (guess they appeal to the young Asian crowd) and offer me next to nothing then get all shirty when they get told 'no'

Currently selling my sisters A5. Had a message via autotrader today....

"I can offer 10g if you interested "

DELETE !!

I'd say the safest place to show your car to a prospective buyer is at the local police station.

Had another call today

Literally the first thing he said was "what's your best price"

I hung up.

I've got it in Tootle and had a dealer call me and ask me what my best price is, I asked him what's his best offer (as that's kinda the idea of Tootle) and he was literally lost for words and was tripping over his tongue as didn't know how to respond.

Been disappointed with Tootle on this one, only one offer for £9.5k when Evans Halshaw price is £10,625

Only issue is a) there's no insurance on the car to drive it to Evans Halshaw and b) it's got a few dinks/scratches so it may be a wasted journey by the time they haggle it down...

Glad to hear nobody got hurt. This is why i blur out the number plates on my adverts and give them the address details to my friends work place which has a security barrier to let you in and out. You soon realise who the time wasters are when they want to leave faster than they arrived.

The sad thing is, i was in the barbershop a few weeks ago and a few lads were having a friendly chat about someone looking for an Audi RS6 to steal (as you do) and if anybody knew someone who owned one to let him know!! Cameras and alarms don't deter these people, get your tracker fitted with the option to switch the engine off once it comes to a stop.

Only the police can give the tracker company permission to disable the engine.

what area was this as it would give a heads up to owners in the area

and would it be worth while passing this on to the police in the area too they may be able to keep an eye on these toe rags

but with what went on in Westminster yesterday they might have other priority's at the moment

Horrible for you.

Intrigued by claim that RS6 is a theft problem - I know there has been at least one more on here but my premiums suggest otherwise. One of the cheapest performance cars I have ever insured - and no tracker required. Just renewed with NFU and under £400 all in.

Mark.

Not meant to isolate or insult you. Just to indicate that RS are problem cars for theft, e.g. highly desirable targets.
Manchester today.

Peeps - be careful. Hide it. Get a garage. Be prepared just in case. I hope it never happens to any of you.
Don't fight it. Its a car. A raised car insurance policy is better than a claim on a life policy. That's a whole different issue. For a lot more people.

p.s. I have not replaced it yet. Cannot decide. Especially with the new speeding ticket thing going on.
