Not quite what it seems

Post by kavbhamra » Wed Nov 25, 2015 2:44 pm

I was ready to purchase this car today, bit something just didn't seem right with the seller. So I did a bit of research on this company and I would avoid them at all costs...looks like a bunch of scammers who cant be trusted. I feel lucky but just in case someone else on the site is looking for a RS6 C7 I wouldn't buy from these people

Some news items are back from 2012 but it was enough to put me off

:shock:
In March 2008, while trading as Auto Transform, the garage was attacked by a gunman who fired four bullets from a handgun into the workshop.

That's the scary thing. The car *does* look good. I wonder what's "wrong" with it...

Keighley, rings a bell. Pretty stuff has been posted about a garage there on here.
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

If you don't know where you're going, any road will take you there!

Yeah I liked this car but every cloud has a silver lining.

I am hoping to put a deposit down on a grey RS6 this Friday which I have been after. I'll post up some pics once I take some Friday :biggrin3: :biggrin3: :biggrin3: :biggrin3: :biggrin3:

Just thought I would post up this car as I know some other members were also looking for RS6's and I didn't want then to fall victim, it may be all innocent, however I have not read one single good review :boohoo:
