i agree...

i have been known in the past to have the weakness "i can make this a really good example" - and i got burnt every time..!!

i bought a mk2 16v golf a few years back, thinking it just needs a little tlc..turned out it was all totally fecked - i reckon it must have been an ex-race school car or something...60k miles and clutch, gearbox, driveshafts, shockers, brakes were all knackered.

only myself to blame - if i'm buying for a friend i'm very choosy, but sometimes i lose it when buying for myself....!!

It's like I'm hearing myself speak there, batty :( Did the same as you with an M3. I think I realised my mistake when I saw it had been off road once I got it on the ramps...

to give this sale a sense of reality, this rs6 was sold by fontain only a year ago..
surely, fontain would be careful about the quality of audi they would sell on to the public...

Beaten and abused like a ginger step-child. It looks like a menstruating orangatan was let loose in the interior.

In the last ad he says:
I bought this car large main dealership, who supplied it to its last owner in January. Stratstone sold the car and the customer returned it to them due to an issue with the gearbox. Statstone aka Pendragon, sold the car to me and did not mention this issue to me, there is a problem with the input shaft bearing on the gearbox and under full boost it loses pressure from the box... I might have got that wrong, but in essence WE WILL BE FITTED A COMPLETELY REBUILT GUARANTEED GEARBOX TO THIS CAR

It's all a bit confused. But at least the mileage hasn't gone down since april :)

...so long as they don't post anymore pictures of that interior! £3,800 (IIRC) for the ZF gearbox exchange programme should sort out most of their problems.

I quite like that interior. Not sure I'd have it for myself, but it's a lot better than that orange tan leather interior in that Plus that was posted a while back.
