Pretty high mileage for a car that's theoretically a max of 7 months old!!!

Hard to believe................unless the car has been unregistered but used on trade plates or something similar until being registered. Really makes no odds, it is still a 00 or 01 car.

so here's how rumours start :?

it was stolen & raked up the miles b4 it got first registered.

Seriously, I read this somewhere; its probably not true.

Who ever buys it; just hope Audi gives the full 3yr warranty from date of first registration.

If it is new, then its cheap. tbh, I am tempted. Would rather have another 3 years of twin turbo.

Sure, it is suspicious, but 1) If its a registered dealer 2) The car has never been used 3) It hasnt fallen of a truck in its past 4) You get 3 years warranty, why not? I may go an see it if I get a chance.

I don't think anyone's claiming that. Mileage quoted on dealer's website is approx 20,000 (see screenshot above).

Cheers,
Richard.

there was talk of some gezzer who bought two as a investment, and garaged them hoping to get a premium at a later date, perhaps it could be one of those, and he never registered it until 2004.
