Merlin Purple but listed as Red on the V5

Post by kavbhamra » Fri Nov 13, 2015 8:54 pm

Hi I am planning to go and view a RS6 in merlin purple. I asked the chap to send me over a copy of the V5 and I noticed that the colour says red. I phoned the dealer where he originally purchased the car from and it all seems to check out, however I am concerned as to why the logbook lists the colour as Red. Has on one on here got a merlin purple RS, if so what is the colour listed as?.

I do like the car but the above just concerns me :bash:

hi buddy no I opted out of this one some of it was on finance some of it he owned just seemed like to much hassle to go and get. I am hoping to buy one tomorrow which has more of a spec and the chap has no outstanding finance on it so I can just pay him and job done.
