Well, as I wanted to be a real STWan@@r, I thought I needed an Audi.
Found one in the right colour for the Boss on Autotrader.
HPI’d it
Drove it
Took it to an Independant Audi dealer for an inspection
Haggled
Bought it
Felt smug.
Yesterday, took it to my local garage to fix the coolant pipe leak picked up at the inspection. A bit of digging reveals the coolant leak is from deeper in the engine, requiring Gearbox and Engine head removal, and 20 hrs of labour!!!!
Garage not on a scam, as I know them well, and their recommendation was to sell it on.
Really, all I’m saying is buyer beware!! As a private sale, you have very few rights. I did all the right things, and have just been stung for 2 grand, having had the car less than 2 weeks.
